"Iowa’s Capitol fills with protesters as lawmakers consider bill removing gender identity protection."

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Amid a heavy police presence and hundreds of vocal protesters, Iowa lawmakers on Thursday considered an unprecedented bill.

It's a bill that would strip the state civil rights code of protections based on gender identity, a move opponents say could expose transgender people to discrimination in numerous areas of life.

Opponents of the bill filed into the Capitol rotunda with signs and rainbow flags to rally before, during and after a 90-minute public hearing, shouting, “No hate in our state!” There was a heavy police presence, with state troopers stationed around the rotunda and hearing room.

The state Senate passed the measure Thursday in a 33-15 vote along party lines. Later, Iowa’s House voted 60-35 to approve the bill.
