Racism alive and well in rural Western Pennsylvania town

I grew up in this town, left in 1997 to go to college only coming back during the summers. Left Pennsylvania completely in 2004 after I had come out as a lesbian and we (my partner and I) moved to Delaware to be with her family. I love my hometown, I loved growing up there; but I don't like the narrowmindedness that still infects the town and area. This makes me sick that something like this happens there more often than not, maybe not to this extent but the intimidation against people who aren't the "norm" for the town is rampant.
