Bill Preventing Anti-Gay Job Discrimination Passes Senate Hurdle
Prospects in the House not so good
A major gay rights bill has cleared its first hurdle in the Senate.
On a vote of 61-30, the Senate voted to move ahead on the legislation that would prohibit workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
The bipartisan vote increases the chances that the Senate will pass the bill by week's end, but its prospects in the Republican-led House are dimmer
