Yesterday was a dark day in the Iowa Senate for the LGBT+ community and Iowa. Republican Senators pushed through legislation that blocks gender affirming care, and forces trans students to use the bathroom of their biological sex.
I want to thank the hundreds of students, families, and allies who wrote to me and my colleagues about this legislation. Even though this bill passed out of the Senate, my Democratic colleagues and I in the Senate heard you and are fighting for you each and every day. |
