A bill banning workplace discrimination against gay and transgender people has passed a critical test of support in the US Senate, 17 years after a similar bill failed by a single vote.

The Democratic-led Senate voted 61-30 to open debate on the legislation, with several Republicans backing it.

The bill is expected to win final Senate passage as early as this week.

The White House strongly supports the measure, but its future in the Republican-led House remains unclear.
