Gainesville FL: Gay Mayoral Candidate Craig Lowe Finishes First, Faces Runoff

Craig Lowe, the openly gay candidate for mayor of Gainesville, Florida, finished first in a field of five yesterday, sending him and the second place candidate to an April 13th runoff. Lowe has been the target of a despicable anti-gay campaign, which included hoax fliers promising that he would bring the city "gays in the women's restrooms." Gainesville is a small college town, home to the University of Florida.
