The ‘Kreuz & Queer’ web series is helping Swiss people with coming out. How do young Swiss people actually love these days? Host Florian Sonderegger portrays Swiss people who are confronting Switzerland with social change through their identities and life plans. They are standing up for this change – just like lots of other young people across the world. We introduce three personalities: the androgynous top model Tamy Glauser. She walks down the catwalk both as a man and a woman, which is probably why she has been so successful. Lou is 21 and defines Lou as neither a man nor a woman and rejects this societal division. As a video artist and nightlife personality, drag queen Milky Diamond switches between genders and plays masterfully with stereotypes. ‘Kreuz & Queer’ is not about satisfying voyeuristic curiosity but rather consciously and respectfully discussing local life and love realities. Freedom of sexual orientation is a key part of a free society. The series reveals the areas of life in which people have to demand, explore and to some extent also tolerate this freedom. The production is the result of a co-operation between the public broadcaster SRF and the privately run VICE Switzerland.
