That's really scary! I used to live in Newton, Mass. It's a very wealthy suburb of Boston. Most of the people in that area are highly educated. I certainly wouldn't consider it a place where fundies would take over.
Many of the people in Newton are not fundies, but must be politically correct in everything they do. These PC breeders with big bucks to spend live to be offended and are afraid that someone will wear a costume that disagrees with their (non)sensibilities.
I live not too far from Newton and it's far from being the only city with this ridiculous mentality.
