Lesbian organization Switzerland
The Lesbian Organization Switzerland (acronym: LOS ) is an umbrella organization of regional lesbian groups and individual lesbians and the counterpart to the gay association Pink Cross . The LOS thus takes on the lobbying work of the affiliated lesbian groups on a national level and is thus the most important interest group for lesbians in Switzerland. The association was founded in December 1989.
