A few weeks ago, I covered the transphobic and homophobic scare tactics being used in the Gainesville, Florida Mayor's race. Craig Lowe was Chair of the successful campaign to stop the repeal of the Gainesville Human Rights Ordinance, which included sexual orientation and gender identity & expression. He's now running another successful campaign to become the first gay mayor of Gainesville and the only openly gay elected official in North Florida.

A group called the "Concerned Citizens of Gainesville" already started a nasty and outrageous smear campaign, complete with trans panic bathroom scare flyers.
