Not sure if you can access this, but story is on Littleton, NH and how an understated gay rights mural on a building unleashed a fury, mostly led by a totally homophobic woman who used her religion to discriminate and spew pretty hateful stuff. It's just gross.

New Hampshire has always had a high asshole quotient for such a small state. (I'm originally from Maine) They have a high percentage of Libertarians. This is an article about one that went feral.

I love that - 'high asshole quotient'. Yes, it's a cultural thing. They encourage it. 'Live free or die' could have a benevolent meaning, but it could also be the motto for a sociopath.
