Talk about a time warp: my anctors, a hundred immigrant years, a farm of ws and crops–and me, here by way of a huge sleek jet, stg unr a rabow queer flag readg a list of homosexual activi and venu happeng downtown Zurich. This cy do not have the populatn of Berl or Paris or London so don’t have the wi variety of gay offergs of those leadg pri-filled ci, but is one of Europe’s most vibrant gay muni and there is enough to satisfy a visor or native search of a full, spicey or quiet life here.

The referendum put an end to a polil/relig battle begun the year before when a gay partnership law was passed by Zurich thori only to be challenged by relig nservativ. At the same time, is Swatch watch, world-class engeerg and lbigay upl makg unns.
