  1. So sorry to hear about your son. He is proud of you. It's hard to believe one bigoted person's opinion can impact an entire community. I hope you sue them for the photo they sent you. Even if you don't win, it will make them reconsider the next time they spew their bias at others. How sad!

  2. What a one sided news piece. The L community has taken over the rainbow as theirs and is shoving their mantra down every bodies throats. You know who you are.

  3. nbc is turning into faux, slowly, but surely…..

  4. Another man going inside another man is not natural its nasty and it an abomation to God.That made plan as simple and who ever codone that nasty life stlye is just as guilty

  5. Thank God for people like Jim Gleason.

  6. As of now 666 is the comment number satan writen all over this story.

  7. Let people be who they are !!!

  8. Oh my god that woman is disgusting.

  9. I'm liberal but LGBT bs is it distraction from everything that we should be paying attention to. Ridiculous

  10. Senator Gendreau clearly has some issues.

  11. Let GOD be the judge some people are just nuts

  12. you bumpkins are doing your religion wrong

  13. In NH there are a lot of new people in town.

  14. 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.

  15. I was expecting something maybe garish, these are actually quite nice.

  16. American liberty πŸ˜‚

  17. Never Quit !!! Now an A Hole is gonna fill that seat .

  18. Much of the USA is a hot mess.

  19. If her God is so hateful then it must be the devil that she worships. Or maybe the orange Jesus. Evil.
    Love the birch trees. Thank God we have people who love their fellow Americans and don't pass judgment on ours. PEACE

  20. Free speech is important, but does separation of church and state come into play? The NH Senator's wording is from Christianity: "Satanic symbolism" and "Demonic".
    But then she's likely trying to protect young school kids from being harmed by adult topics in the classrooms & their exposure to Drag Queens dressed as prostitutes.

    Both the left and right are overboard in the US, imo.

  21. And they will call themselves Christians.

    Hypocrites!

  22. Wow! And it has gotten worse since Trump.

  23. She needs to move to Russia. Of all things to be offended by. I mean, really?

  24. Nasty ! She reckons she's a prophet or something? Nice paintings…what's happening in the states these days? Just gotta beg you lot…don't mix the Lord's name in with all the BS bouncing around in your brains.
    Amen Lord, have mercy!

  25. I hope he sues her for every penny she has! β€πŸ§‘πŸ’›πŸ’šπŸ’™πŸ’œπŸ€ŽπŸ–€πŸ€

  26. Oh once again religious zealots showing how their particular religion is all about loving thy neighbor. Hypocrisy at its finest.

  27. haha, you realize not all dumocrats want this garbage in their towns? NH of all of them, thats the best!! BTW, wheres your story on the illegals that attacked the officer in NYC. i notice there is not one story on this important news. americans need to know!!

  28. Mark that town on the crapper list.

  29. If you thought we were past this, we were (other than a few outliers). The trans women are women side of the trans movement has been damaging the entire LGBTQ cause.

  30. Sick Nation πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

  31. So much for "love thy neighbour" πŸ˜‚

  32. What a disgusting little town! Absolutely horrible behavior.

  33. So hurtful. Especially attacking his dead son.

  34. It’s funny seeing all the lgbtq supporters saying how awful the lady is when you people host parades with naked people roaming the streets in front of children. But when a Christian speaks against it it’s deemed as hate? We Christians have freedom of speech just like the lgbtq community does, deal with it!

  35. We all go to heaven eventually. These holier than thou folks need to get off the high horse.

  36. The primary color wheel is demonic now? Ok grandma… πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

  37. NBC gets off on destroying small towns.

  38. I'd quite to it's a sin and gross what crap this country has become
