Anti-transgender fliers claiming to be from a chapter of the Ku Klux Klan were distributed in at least one Dothan neighborhood.

"It is a free speech issue. There is no threat put in there, no call to arms. It looks like they are asking for donations and putting out a political agenda instead of a hate-based one," Dothan Police Capt. Will Benny said.

"We are kind of monitoring the situation right now," he said, adding the fliers were forwarded to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Police were notified of three fliers placed in an east Dothan neighborhood of about 75 houses.

"Our patrolmen going through didn't see them littered all about," Benny said.

Benny called the neighborhood in question quiet and "certainly not a hotbed for Klan activity."

The flier from the Loyal White Knights of the KKK called being transgender "an abomination, according to the King James Bible."

The flier quotes Deuteronomy 22:5: "A woman shall not wear that pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment. For all that do are an abomination unto the Lord thy God."

Anyone confused by their gender should "use a tree out in the back yard," the flier states.

Dothan police said the dissemination of the fliers isn't necessarily illegal, but a resident could file a complaint for littering.
