I recently retrieved a paper hanging from my front door. It was from the Kalamazoo Citizens Voting "NO" to Special Rights Discrimination.

At first glance I had to chuckle. On the front there is a photo of a man with bushy sideburns wearing a baseball cap and dark glasses. He's standing outside a bathroom with a sign that says "Women."

The reverse side of the flyer asks "Do you want your daughter, sister, girlfriend, wife, mother or grandmother to share a bathroom with a cross dressing man? NO!"
