The Daily BuzzWoman told her front yard decor too 'relentlessly gay,' fights back with more rainbows
What does $20,000 worth of ‘relentlessly gay’ décor look like?
Thanks to a mean-spirited letter which has inspired a GoFundMe campaign, we may soon find out.
Julie Baker of Baltimore, Md. says she received a note from her neighbour in response to a row of rainbow solar lamp jars in her front yard, which have “Love” and “Ohana” (Hawaiian for family) written on them.
It reads:
Your yard is becoming Relentlessly Gay! Myself and Others in the neighborhood ask that you Tone it Down. This is a Christian area and there are Children. Keep it up and I will be forced to call the police on You! Your kind need to have Respect for GOD.
The letter was posted to Facebook (along with a photo of the jars) by a friend of Baker’s. Since the post went up Wednesday night, it has touched a nerve online and inspired everything from a Relentlessly Gay website, t-shirts, plans for a Relentlessly Gay Garden Party (with kid-friendly ideas, of course) and the GoFundMe page, intended to raise money for more decorations.
“Put simply, I am a widow and the mother of four children, my youngest in high school and I WILL NOT Relent to Hatred,” Baker writes on the GoFundMe page. “Instead, I will battle it with whimsy and beauty and laughter and love, wrapped around my home, yard and family!!!”
At the time of publishing, the campaign had raised more than $20,000.
If you’re interested in making your own “relentlessly gay yard lights,” Baker has now posted a tutorial online.
