New Hampshire town manager whose gay son died of cancer at 35 quits after fellow board member told him homosexuality was 'an abomination' and local came to meeting to say his late son was 'in hell with the devil'Daily Fail (UK)
A New Hampshire town manager - whose gay son died aged 35 - has resigned over 'painful' homophobic comments made by a state senator.
Jim Gleason was the town manager of Littleton, New Hampshire, until he handed in his resignation on Monday citing a 'toxic work environment'.
His resignation followed months of tension in Littleton after a row broke out over three LGBTQ murals in public areas of the town.
State Senator Carrie Gendreau, who sits on the Littleton Select Board, spoke out against the pro-LGBTQ paintings back in August saying they were 'demonic' and adding: 'I don't want that in our town.'
She went on to tell the Boston Globe that she thought homosexuality is an 'abomination'.
