What is the Swiss LGBTIQ+ Panel?
The Swiss LGBTIQ+ Panel is led by Dr. Tabea Hässler (University of Zurich) and Dr. Léïla Eisner (University of Zurich). It is a longitudinal study assessing the situation of LGBTIQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, intersex, and queer) people in Switzerland since 2019 in an annual manner. In 2025, more than 5,400 LGBTIQ+ and around 700 cisgender endosex heterosexual (i.straight) people completed the survey.
The goal of the Swiss LGBTIQ+ Panel is to extend our understanding of how LGBTIQ+ people feel integrated in Swiss society and how the situation is changing over time.
Following people over time is important because we currently know very little about how people’s opinions and levels of satisfaction with their lives may change gradually over time or change rapidly in response to current events in society (extension of the anti-discrimination law, legalization of same-sex marriage).
We believe that the insight of the Swiss LGBTIQ+ Panel and the study on the Marriage Equality voting have high practical relevance for LGBTIQ+ and cis-heterosexual people, people in the educational context, LGBTIQ+ and other non-profit organizations, practitioners, and policymakers aiming to promote the health and integration of LGBTIQ+ people.
