Eurovision winner Song Conference Nemo Metler called on the Swiss government to recognise a third gender in official documents.
Mettler noted that it is “absolutely unacceptable” that such an opportunity does not already exist in Switzerland, the Guardian reports.
We should also be represented in politics. It's very important that people feel free”, said Metler, who was asked after winning who he would like to talk to before, without thinking, mentioned Swiss Justice Minister Beat Yans.
On Wednesday, according to his spokesman, the minister sent Metler a message in which he congratulated him for his Eurovision victory and invited him to meet.
18 months ago, the Swiss government rejected that same proposal, claiming that the gender model was “strongly anchored” in Swiss society.
