Kansas House advances bill that could limit LGBT protections

Kansas legislation that could supersede local ordinances and allow anti-LGBT discrimination based on religious objections is headed toward final passage in the state House ofRepresentatives. Proponents said the bill seeks to protect religious freedom, and denied that the bill would prevent municipalities from adopting LGBT anti-discrimination ordinances. The measure now heads to the state Senate where it has less support, according to several lawmakers.
