My daughter lives in Brevard so I'll be moving to the area soon (I hope). I am traditional when it comes to family and community values and, although I'm not Christian, I hold any person of any faith in high esteem. Here is my question: I do not look traditional, and my lifestyle is rock and roll. If someone has a punk haircut and a ring in their nose (I don't), can they expect ridicule, abuse, fights, or is the area "live and let live", generally.

You'll be fine although there isn't a lot of rock and roll in Brevard.

you'll be fine. We have Brevard college, and tons of camps, so the town is used to seeing more liberal looking people.

Just looking at voting records, Brevard seems a little bit more liberal than most of the other towns in WNC. As mentioned, the summer camps, music school and college bring in young people. Plus with proximity to the forest, you get a lot of hikers, mountain bikers, etc ... and that's an eclectic group.

don't see why you would have a problem. And who knows, our mountain music may grow on you.

Hope you and your daughter enjoy.
