Im all for this, it's clearly working in other regions and certainly makes sense on Maines vast coast. I dont understand the heading though "What the GIANTS behind C.M.P. don't want you to know!" ? How is this anti-CMP? Id have to give CMP some credit as our monthly average bill nationally is now near the top (7th least expensive utility in the US) thanks to renewable efforts.

It should read: "What the FOSSIL FUEL GIANTS don't want you to know!"

Southern Maine and New Hampshire are not cheap, but maybe there are some sweet spots to maximize acceptance and minimize cost as you move in from the coast. The Berwicks, Sanford, apartments in Dover/Durham NH.

Echoing others, we are not a socially liberal utopia, but there are large swaths of Maine that will be OK.

Try networking online in the queer community in and around Portland, maybe someone can find you a roommate or offer good advice on what's like for them around here. I live south of Portland and for the most part tolerance is common, I relocated from Florida which oddly has a very large gay community which isn't tolerated. It's sad that people that are not Christian have such a hard time living happily. Good luck. If not Maine, Rhode island might be a place to look into as well
