The town of Littleton, New Hampshire, is experiencing a cultural shift as it becomes increasingly diverse and inclusive. However, not everyone in the community is embracing this change. The recent controversy surrounding public art and LGBTQ+ representation has led to the resignation of the town manager and highlighted deep divisions within the community.
Littleton, with a population of 6,000, has become a popular tourist destination known for its charming main street filled with shops and restaurants. The town has embraced LGBTQ+-themed art and even hosted a local theater's gay-themed musical. However, selectboard member and Republican state senator, Carrie Gendreau, has expressed opposition to this cultural transformation. Last year, she made derogatory comments about homosexuality, which sparked a backlash from the community.
