Fliers have circulated criticizing mayoral candidate and current City Commissioner Craig Lowe for his support of a 2008 ordinance extending rights to transgendered people.

The fliers depict the male restroom symbol holding hands with a smaller, child-like female restroom symbol.

The yellow and black handbills declare Lowe is "Responsible' for legally allowing MEN in WOMEN'S RESTROOMS!"
