The Iowa bill, which includes transgender people in its definition of sexual orientation, now returns to the Senate for a concurrence vote on changes the House made to it.
The measure faced some stiff opposition in the Iowa House of Representatives. Minority leader Rep. Chris Rants, a Republican, tried to pull members of his party from the voting, which would have forced virtually every Democrat in the chamber to approve the legislation for it to pass.

Isn't Iowa currently one of the most trans-unfriendly states?
