When Allan Banks moved from Dartmouth, N.S., to the province’s Eastern Shore 20 years ago, he was drawn by the area’s ruggedness, fertile landscape and beautiful ocean views.

He was also determined not to shy away from being an openly gay man in his new rural community. In his front yard, he raised a rainbow flag, visible to all who drove by on Highway 7, which snakes through Chezzetcook, Musquodoboit Harbour and all the way to Antigonish.

“We didn’t move out and hide,” he said last week.
