Christian Homeowner Threatens Neighbor Over ‘Relentlessly Gay’ Rainbow Yard Lamps, Because Children
A widow received a note from her “Christian” neighbor who objects to her simple rainbow-themed garden lamps, because there are children in the area.Â
A woman came home to find this note taped to her door:
“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.”
It was signed, “A Concerned Home Owner.”
Aside from coining the fabulous phrase, “relentlessly gay,” clearly someone has no clue that a string of rainbow-themed solar yard lamps are not illegal – and not even especially gay.Â
What, exactly, are children in this fine Christian neighborhood being exposed to when they see them? Pretty colors?
Does this “Concerned Home Owner” think “the gays” indoctrinate children this way?
And exactly what do they think will happen if they indeed carry out their threat by calling the cops?
A GoFundMe page has been set up to fight back.
“Needless to say… I need more rainbows… Many, many more rainbows….,” the page reads. “So, I am starting this fundraiser so I can work to make my Home even More ‘relentlessly gay’  If we go high enough, I will see if I can get a Rainbow Roof!”
Because my invisible relentlessly gay rainbow dragon should live up there in style!
Put simply, I am a widow and the mother of four children, my youngest in high school and I WILL NOT Relent to Hatred. Instead, I will battle it with whimsy and beauty and laughter and love, wrapped around my home, yard and family!!!
Well done!
