  DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A bill proposed by a group of Republican lawmakers on Wednesday that would have amended the Iowa Civil Rights Act by removing protections against discrimination for transgender people is dead, a powerful committee chairman said.
  "Discriminating against transgender people - or any Iowans - will not make them, or us, go away or stop being who they are. We'll continue to remind legislators of the obvious: Transgender people already do exist; they aren't going anywhere; and they have large communities of Iowans fighting for equality and dignity right alongside them," said Mark Stringer, the group's executive director.
