A bill to broaden protections for LGBTQ+ people passed the Pennsylvania state House of Representatives.A bill to broaden protections for LGBTQ+ people passed the Pennsylvania state House of Representatives on Tuesday - the first to advance this far after yearslong efforts by Democrats - though it faces strong headwinds in the Republican-controlled Senate.
Under the bill, it would be illegal to discriminate against LGBTQ+ people in housing, workplaces and public services. Under governors friendly to anti-discrimination efforts, like Wolf and Shapiro, the Human Relations Commission has accepted complaints about LGBTQ+ discrimination. Recently a state panel voted to clarify several terms to broaden its oversight in the absence of legislative action.
