Title: Iowa Senate passes LGBT rights bill
Post by: tinkerbell on March 27, 2007, 08:36:40 PM
QuoteThe bill adds the words "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" to a list of protected characteristics under Iowa's Civil Rights Act. Democrats have long supported expanded protections, and they now control the Senate, the House and the governor's office.
