#LGBTQ #Littleton #NewHampshire
It's getting increasingly difficult to consider America a modern and advanced society.
what does that even mean? And if it means what I think it does, the rest of the world must look prehistoric to you.
It's not. The only people with motivation is the bully. Everyone else just hides in their homes.
We have smart people here. But they're a minority. And they're not allowed to be successful. Which is why our country is behind in a lot of things besides Religion and Conspiracies.
It's all been designed this way. Because rude, greedy people want more power.
It's not. A lot of shady people who like to fight their own neighbors.
And we're not allowed to question it.
The sodomy will stop
America is crime and hubris.
So hurtful. Especially attacking his dead son.
Very Christian like, apparently.
I know, that woman was a sad excuse for a human being. I do not blame that dad for leaving.
@mikeb5664 it's very anti-Christian. It is the greatest commandment to "Love your neighbor as yourself" anyone claiming to be Christian but acting as these people do, are working for the enemy of God, as false flags.
Tbh it was a bad idea for him to step down, stepping down is another way of saying "you won" to the little shet who couldn't keep her mouth shut
Yes, that was cruel. It’s coming from a person who feels threatened & fearful.
I didn’t even think about LGBTQ when I saw that photo. Literally just saw a plant and light. Wild. It’s wild how we have taken symbolism so far.
I wouldn't have even clocked it as LGBTQ+... and I'm part of that community! People really have nothing better to do!
Yes, I saw the visible light spectrum.
I saw a stolen rainbow 🌈 of Almighty for rebellion perversions
I didn't either.
But then again, we don't have those behavioral issues of Irritability and Possessiveness.
I agree! Wonder what those same people think when they see a rainbow after the rain or a prism of light???
Much of the USA is a hot mess.
And a lot of people who refuse to sort these issues out.
The priority isn't fixing stuff. It's whatever personal ambitions and bias they have. Regardless of who has to pay for it.
Waited all Fall months to see who will complain about the colors of the changing leaves. 😊 maybe some one will this year 😂
Its the way the media wants it portrayed, making everyone a victim
Much? All.
The entire world is a "hot mess".
Wait until these people hear about what happens to light when you put it through a prism.
Prisms are a tool of the devil!
Cancel woke prisms now!
It's public property, paint your own yard rainbows all you want.
Wait until this shilling guy hears about what it’s like to have a high school diploma.
They'll think 'oh, pink floyd' ok.
My God. Why does hate get to scream while love has to whisper? 😶 I’ll never understand it.
💯👍
Because they'd rather see men holding guns than holding hands.
Love is patient, love is kind.
🕊️
Because America, that's why.
This country, in the whole, is garbage, full stop. The last remaining humans here can't be expected to outnumber the knuckle-draggers and do-nothings.
Shut. It. Down.
@@benevolencia4203Yeah, and the Bible also uses the word abomination to describe homosexual acts.
At this point, town manager Gleason needs to sue these people for harassment. He is a true American patriot.
This issue has nothing to do with patriotism. You’re not a good American.
Unfortunately being av bigot and a hate Monterey isn’t a crime. Even idiots like these have freedom of speech.
No?
@@antoniocasias5545 Get a life.
Bigotry at its finest. Rejoicing at the death of a love one and saying spiteful things out of malice all the while believing in your heart that you are in the side of justice and everything good in the world.
Gullibility at its finest. Replying to something with no evidence other than a single testimony, told by a network with a political agenda and a LONG history of telling so many lies that it would take me over 6 hours just to write the ones I know about.
They claim to preach for a "higher power" yet will tear down everyone different than them & act like their country is "chosen" to be blessed while all the rest shd ~grovel to be treated equally or killed for thinking they could find peace & comfort here.. 😓
She suffers from the same affliction as all the patriots on January 6th!

@ddrse oxymoron
Trees and plants are demonic? Huh?
Exactly. If they hadn't explained the backstory about that artwork, I would never have made any association between those murals and the LGBTQ community.
Love is demonic. Art is satanic. 😂
Things are only evil when you are religious and indoctrinated.
Based Carrie calling out evil. When you “make love” you create life. What do two men who “love” each other do? They insert themselves into a place where the only thing that’s created is decay, rot, death, waste, even what some may call “sewage”, all while trying to simulate the very love God made for the Man and the Woman, an abomination of His creation. AIDS, monkeypox, “for they shall receive their error within themselves.” “If one should seek these things, they will be given every opportunity to do so, but they will not enter the kingdom of heaven.”
Karen has a nasty imagination.
The primary color wheel is demonic now? Ok grandma... 😂😂😂
Sounds like that poor guy was trying to manage a town full of monsters.
I mean, it is NH
No?
I watched it, wasn't the problem just two people?
@@mikearchibald744 seems like it?
@@sideofirish2 That is correct. No place is meaner than New Hampshire to my knowledge.
mass psychosis from social media did this
I don't think the cause is important at this point.
What's important is the fact that they're targeting anyone who isn't crazy or mean. Like they are.
Group psychosis started with religion that had nothing to do with social media
@@eksbocks9438 The cause is important, the population needs a vaccine for hysteria. oH, the most hysterical of them won't take it.
No it's not social media. It's part of zionism. Several sects of Christianity teach hate but pretend it's out of love. It's sick and twisted and rampant. Was before social media for centuries
People were bigots BEFORE social media and the lgbt had less rights before social media.
Man, this brought tears to my eyes. I can't imagine being so full of hate you would knowingly harass a grieving parent and still believe you are a good person and God would want you to behave this way. She seriously needs to have a come to Jesus meeting and learn to love her neighbors.
But then again, the full quote is "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself" (Matthew 22:39) so maybe “As the water reflects the face, so the heart reflects the person” (Proverbs 27:19) so she must not have a lot of love for herself in the first place with the way she acts. It's so sad.
also the thing that gets me is at one point all these hateful ppl were innocent children, & the hate they grow into is like a legacy of ~brainwashing, passed on frm their closedminded relatives or just toxic communities, which compells them to go on cruelly spreading the apathy like a virus of its own.. 😓
@@SimbiAni Yeah, exactly!
@@SpinfoilHat- it's all I can think about when ppl talk of things like "freedom of religion" & "the right to ~parent however they want" & "parents shd decide what kids can read etc" because keeping them in the dark abt things is essentially how so many are groomed for hate, but it's all just under the guise of "freedom" blah blahh it's only bad when other ppl do it for "love-is-love" & racial equality & actual history & "one world" mindset (because they gotta make sure their kids kno that only "America" is the chosen blessed country of their holy icon, all others be damned, especially "filthy dangerous migrants" & LGBTQ+ ppl) 😩
This sort of thing happened often in the 80's when so many were dying from AIDS.
@@neilmurray6943 Yeah, I remember that and the "Satanic Panic" in the early 90's. Literal witch hunts fueled by greedy evil people who literally just wanted to condemn their neighbor. This extreme view isn't Christian, I grew up in the South and I didn't hear the kind of vile rhetoric I hear nowadays. It's something else entirely and it is very very hateful and evil and it disgusts me that we're seeing such an abhorrently large wave of this absolutely vile behavior.
Wow. These people are filled with hate. To say that to someone who lost their son. She should definitely have been charged for following it with that letter.
That woman who made that comment doesn’t realize it, but she has put herself in the same place in spirit that the lawyer who died from that church that condemns gays (Westboro Baptist Church) whose name is Fred Phelps remains writhing in agony for what he caused so many on the earth plane.
Here's my thought..regardless of your views, to say that to someone is pure hatred and just mean. She will also face final judgement one day and her actions may haunt her.
@@LoriL010 that final judgement is when one has their life-review upon death or transition. It is then that the person feels everything they dished out to everyone around them. That in itself can be the horror they have to face, but then the person finds out what the vibration/frequency is that they caused themselves (no judgement from others) and they slip into the corresponding frequency in spiritual realms. This is well taught in the writings of Swedenborg who considered himself Christian but was a great seer of all spiritual realms and lived to tell about it. He predicted his own death and it was verified by those close to him.
Please read comment I just added.@@LoriL010
These twisted people who hate have manipulated their religion to suit their sick ways. It is because of people like these haters that people are waking up, leaving ALL religions and embracing the only TRUE WAY AGNOSTIC BUDISM !
Little MINDS in Littleton, NH
If you didn't tell me I would never know what it stood for
The murals are so small and so pretty! It takes a really dark and malicious soul to object to those murals, let alone harass a grieving parent.
These bigots must not win!
@neilmurray6943 no one is a bigot! We are just tired of you idiots cramming it down everyones throat!
It's not about him being a grieving parent though
The word ‘Christian’ for me has become synonymous with hatred, aggressive ignorance and just simple meanness.
Only because groups like the "human rights campaign' have tied them together. I( see christian churches all over the place with rainbow flags welcoming EVERYONE.
exactly!! I was just thinking the same thing
Aggressive ignorance is a great way to put it
If there was a way to tally up the good, that many decent Christians have contributed to humanity, and the destruction that the bad ones have done, I think the latter wouldn’t outweigh the former. What is or isn’t a good person is up for speculation.
@@tjwash5118 you could say this about any religion, you just aren't afraid to say it about christians.
I have one question. are the murals on a private building? If so they can all go pound sand.
It's a restaurant, so it's safe to assume it's a private business.
@@MrRidleyDog Thank you. So no one has a say but them.
@@writerconsidered agreed, but both sides of this debate are eager to keep sniping each other...
@@MrRidleyDog What part of being told we're demonic abominations makes you think we enjoy having to keep fighting? It's not a debate. My life and existence is not a debate, I should not have to see how much I'm hated every single day of my life. Every. Single. Day. I'm tired. We're all tired. We're being killed. But sure, lets call it sniping. Grow up.
@@writerconsidered That seems to be the opinion of the far-right conservative/Christian groups. Theirs is the only way to look at things. Anyone with different ideas and outlooks is a demonic creature. It's really a hateful, bigoted, nasty bunch of people who seem to make enough noise that they get their way, even when they are only a small number of the total population.
That mural isn’t even that big or disruptive. Imagine crying about that.
It's always a big red flag when you meet people.
It's one thing to have your own beliefs. But it's another thing when you barge into someone else's neighborhood. And tell them they have "no right" to paint a flower.
Like the Stazi in East Germany.
Im more offended on a daily basis by MAGA enthusiasts banners alongside the main route from my town in Maine such as God Guns and Trump.. or even more offensive and deliberately provocative slogans. Even a confederate flag onone house which i had to tell them thats not a real flag and was invented in the 1930s also get youre dirty mitts off my Scottish Saltire. That flag is the flag or scotland and they bastardized it.
Land of the free and home of the brave….. unless you’re ANYTHING other than a White Man!🙄
Right? It's nothing big. That's why I don't see a big deal when an educator puts a litle something lgbtquia or just a LITTLE swastika artwork on public buildings. Sure, maybe for a private or religious school to not have such murals I understand but what is wrong with a "little" symbol?

I hope he's suing her, although in such a conservative place I don't know if I'd trust law enforcement. Truly heartbreaking. I'm glad he quit, I don't see it as some sort of defeat or anything.

Freedom of speech to spew delusional hate filled rants. The only thing I think she could be charged with is probably harassment.

Why is it that so many people who call themselves Christians go around doing the exact opposite of what Jesus teaches in the gospels, love and “judge not?”
Christians are actually called to judge sinners, so that they may repent of their sin, and thus receive salvation. Did Christ allow the tax collectors, prostitutes, etc to continue to sin? Of course not, He condemned them absolutely.

sounds like this town is stuck in the 1800s
Well, large swaths of New England are incredibly insular and rigid.
If Portland, LA, San Francisco and other liberal cities are the future, leave me in the past.
Pretty much everyone who lives out east is, in a way.
@@tfredrick01 You can find advantages and disadvantages in anything. The ultra-conservative Bible Belt is not without problems. For example much of the Bible Belt ranks lowest in education, ranks lowest in life expectancy, ranks highest in both infant and maternal mortality, and ranks highest for dependency on public assistance. Heck, a lot of folks in Mississippi and Alabama couldn't make change for a dime. While I'll be the last to deny that the cities you named have a myriad of problems, so too do other parts of the country, albeit different ones.
@@tfredrick01There's a way out.
What an amazing man … a true representation of what it is to be human, caring, to love unconditionally without judgement. These “so called” Christians are a blight on what it means to be a true Christian and follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. Shame on them! You will meet your maker some day and he will close the gates on you and your hypocrisy.
Then you can go live in the gutter with the other fake Christians like Jerry Falwell.
"Imagine the people who believe such things and who are not ashamed to ignore, totally, all the patient findings of thinking minds through all the centuries since the Bible was written. And it is these ignorant people, the most uneducated, the most unimaginative, the most unthinking among us, who would make themselves the guides and leaders of us all; who would force their feeble and childish beliefs on us; who would invade our schools and libraries and homes. I personally resent it bitterly." - Isaac Asimov
People calling Evil good and good evil 🤮
If he knows who sent that photo with the writing, he has the right to sue for harassment and should rightfully do so. This is sick and gives such a bad name to NH.
Just proud to know you, Jim!
Ignorance is rampant in the USA.
How does this happen in 2024 this is a joke and she's a senator who the heck voted her in
13,112 voters in New Hampshire State Senate, District 1 voted her in in 2022.
Here is your sign. She was voted in by the majority. Let that sink in. The vast majority of Americans do not want to support the 5% rainbow group in their towns. Let the people speak
@@justincredible2042you underestimate our numbers, and you also ignore the fact that LGBT people still have heteronormative families who will take their side.
The tide turns
@@justincredible2042 It's not about supporting or not supporting. It is about basic human rights, equality under the law, and the right to exist without being assaulted. People in the LGBT community experience twice the violent crime rates that straight people do. And those are only the ones that are actually reported. I know couples that left their estate to their partner after passing only to have their family come in contest the will and the court grant the estate to the same family that threw them out of their house when they were just 15 years old. This is about being treated as a basic human being with equal rights period. I don't care who does or doesn't support me, but if you think you have the right to take away my basic human rights we are going to have a huge problem.
@@eclectricgay i assure you that we will never have a huge problem.
Anyone who loves freedom of speech or expression needs to support this guy. It is thus important to maintain the separation of religious beliefs/ideology/personal opinions from the government at any level. Failure to do so will lead to a slippery slope eroding freedoms of individuals.
When I practice my freedom of speech I A get my comment removed and B receive a telling of at work or by friends as I shouldn’t have an opinion like that. Seems ok if it’s only one way right?
@@911HRW The First Amendment doesn't protect your comments from the rules of the platform you're on, nor does it protect you from the criticism of others for expressing disdainful, cruell or hurtful opinions about others.

Retype it. Use symbols and numbers. Misspell things. Let's see the CONTENT of your comment. Go ahead. We're waiting.
Example: I can call you a cupid stunt, and everyone knows what I'm saying.
I can use an asterisk, too, and the TOS won't realize I'm saying the word c*nt.
I can type p3d0, and that makes it through. I can type $uicid3, and Tiktok probably wouldn't even flag it.
As a French citizen, I'd say just one word : RESISTANCE !
Seriously if I didn’t know what this artwork was about I would’ve never thought that. It seems very benign.
Genesis 9: 13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
The "bow" is a rainbow. So many so horribly taught. 16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
@@humboldthammerThe rainbow's also a symbol of God's UNCONDITIONAL love AND acceptance for all, including the ones He made LGBTQ (yes, it's NOT a choice). Have a nice day.
@@DotMcFarlane That's what the verses I cited say. Did you read them?
Matthew 19: 12 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
So MANY so horribly taught. So MANY so nearly deaf and blind spiritually.
I'm sorry for what you've gone through, but quitting is not the answer. You must stand up to these hateful people. By resigning from your position, you're giving them what they want. The person who replaces you may not be cut from the same quality of character that you are.
He doesn't need to subject himself to harassment. These people are so crazy that they researched him and found his family and his home address. Christians and conservatives have a strong record of violence.
Well put, and I agree.
That woman smells like fish. I can tell through the screen. Rotten fish.
I think the only "DEMON" is that sick old lady.
No women ever wants to be near you
I’m disgusted. This so-called “Senator” should move to Texas.
Heaven forbid we assume that "liberty and justice for all" means ALL.
This makes my heart so sad. This country really needs to get it together or we're going to find ourselves back in the 50s again, where segregation and discrimination are normal.
What on earth happened to the US?😢
Trump's GOP together with the worldwide coordination meetings named CPAC.
I'll disagree with Mr. Gleason on one thing, in cases like this you aren't making a statement by resigning. You're just opening a postion where someone like that woman he described can come in and she'll have a voice, but good people won't!
If he needs to resign for his mental health because he just can't take it any more I get that, but it's not a statement.
That mural is fairly innocent... its literally just a rainbow with the plant
I am more conservative and I feel this reaction is extreme. She acts like because of these beautiful murals this little town will suddenly turn into the cradle of vice and depravity. This is a picturesque, beautiful town.
Trying to take away someones Freedom is Anti-American
I guess these people don't really believe in the 1st Amendment. Freedom of Expression
When it comes to THEIR religous beliefs, they care about it. When it comes to OTHERS beliefs it doesn't, appearantly.
It’s no more freedom ,expression when you start putting that on my children or others keep it in your pants in your rooms out of sight
When will we learn to stop hating each other over such trivial matters?
When we stop watching fox news
The hate is one way-get it right. And we gays are not going to stand for it.
Most of us already agree with this.
It's the specific individuals who chose to be hateful anyway.
People will stop hating on each other when religion becomes a thing of the past. Religion is just a form of derangement, indoctrination, a way of controlling people. Won’t be too surprised if church is a way to control people and getting people to do what they want.
@@isocarboxazid no, you'll keep bending over for it though.
They sign isn’t even anything. The senator is stupid. 😂
Such a cruel thing to say, it's downright demonic. Lots of love to this man and his beloved son.
That state senator needs to be voted out of office.
Judge not, or you'll be judged. Love our neighbors as we love ourselves. WOW!!!
But sin isn't accepted though never forget that.
Geez I wish that was my dad. 😢
New Hampshire is such an embarrassment to New England, I wish the whole state could move to the south.
Well thats what is great about this country. You can be how you want to be. And who cares what anyone thinks. Whoever you choose to love is your business.
Does that weird lady that believes in demons & flying angels granting her above all others such a horrific hatred to enact her personal prejudices physically & psychologically upon others explain why she believes she is entitled to rule the worlds belief system? Because I'd really like a solid detailed, factual, reality based explaination of her behavior.
She’s insane and was brainwashed by greedy groomer christians as a child.
Everyone hates Christianity now? Cool, cool. I have to put another quarter in the Bible told you so, jar.
How are her beliefs any worse than liberals believing men can magically become women? Or the world is going to end because of exhaust fumes? Or fake mental disorders that can't be objectively verified?
Drag is made up. Its quite the contradiction. You cant say one side is delusional and be delusional yourself.
@@beegchunguz7425
.. what???
Man, I just like colors yo! It's not for pride or any political agenda. I just like a variety of bright colors is all.
You're clearly naive if you think it's not for an agenda. It's everywhere now.
America continues to regress and it's truly frightening
The abomination is the amount of hate in those people. What has happened to our country?
People can be so cruel. Why spew so much hate over who someone chooses to love? And these right wingers believe in freedom for all? Not really! Only for people who believe and look like them!
She needs to be voted out of office or removed from her position for discrimination
She's not allowed to disagree?
What if someone said that you should be fired from your job for disagreeing with her?
