I'm going through similar things in my city because of outsiders and I hate it! One should never come from the big city into a small community and try to change the people because they become very resentful and nothing but problems follow. If the man just wanted to run his business with no problems, he could've removed the rainbow flag but now he's cutting off his nose to spite his face. Some fights just ain't worth fighting and this man's family will definitely suffer because of a stupid flag!

I agree with you for the most part. You should never move to a community just to shake things up, unless there is something horrible that needs to be shaken up, which isn't the case here. However, he is just flying a flag, he didn't fly the flag to cause problems. In this case it was the townspeople that started the problems, not the man. Why should he not fly his flag? Especailly since he has stated that it has no political motivation behind it?
