Homophobic letters sent to Portland-area residents, police say

PORTLAND, Maine — Three residents received anti-LGBTQ letters in the mail Tuesday that contained threatening homophobic slurs, according to police.

The letters bore renderings of a Satanic Temple logo superimposed over an LGBTQ pride flag and were addressed to “residents,” police said. The letters did not include a return address.

Police said a similar letter was received in South Portland. Each could be deemed a hate crime by the attorney general.
