Iowa lawmakers decline to advance bill that would remove gender identity from the state’s civil rights law

Iowa lawmakers rejected a bill to remove gender identity from the state's civil rights law, preventing potential discrimination against LGBTQ+ Iowans in education, housing, and public spaces.
The bill reached the first step in Iowa's lawmaking process but was rejected by a House Judiciary subcommittee with three members, including two Republicans and one Democrat. LGBTQ+ advocates protested the bill at the Iowa Capitol.
Iowa's civil rights law currently protects against discrimination based on gender identity, along with other characteristics. The bill aimed to amend the law's definition of disability, causing concerns among transgender individuals who argued being trans is not a disability.
