NH Republican: Tear Down “Demonic” Rainbow Mural

The New York Post reports:

A quaint New Hampshire town is being torn apart over a series of colorful LGBTQ-themed murals that an openly anti-gay state senator claims carry “demonic hidden messages.” The murals were installed last August by a nonprofit aiming to “beautify blighted properties” in a neighborhood of otherwise picturesque former mill town Littleton.

However, state senator Carrie Gendreau — who also serves as town selectman and calls homosexuality “an abomination” — soon went on the warpath over the images after seeing one featured an LGBTQ-inspired rainbow. “I would encourage anyone to research what that really means,” she said of the symbolism. “I don’t want that to be in our town.”

The feud soon turned into a push for all public art in the town to be strictly managed, as well as a focus on LGBTQ theater groups performing. Town Manager Jim Gleason, whose late son was gay, quit in outrage in February over Gendreau’s views.

I stopped by the Littleton mural today to show support for LGBTQ+ Granite Staters and to reiterate that everyone – no matter their race, background, gender identity, or sexual orientation – is welcome in New Hampshire. #NHPolitics pic.twitter.com/80N3ePm9b2

Jim Gleason had a particularly painful interaction with a resident of Littleton last year following public complaints by Republican State Senator and select board member Carrie Gendreau about a play being staged in town she called “disgusting”.
