Tweet from Benjamin Zürcher
–
A tweet was the then 18-year-old Benjamin Zürcher from Thurgau, at that time still a member of the Evangelical People’s Party (EPP), in September 2020. With regard to the upcoming vote on the “Marriage for All” initiative in September 2021, he tweeted on his personal and public Twitter account: “If it were allowed that the child adoption law would also apply to homosexuals, this can promote pedophilia, like the biologist Prof. Dr. U. Kutschera said. It has nothing to do with any homophobia. “
