Check Out This Woman’s Brilliant Response to Homophobic Neighbor Who Told Her to Tone Down Her ‘Relentlessly Gay’ Yard

June 19, 2015 by Kyler Geoffroy

One Baltimore woman’s “relentlessly gay” yard is about to become so much gayer after the owner decided to take to crowdfunding to respond to a homophobic neighbor’s complaint, USA Today reports.

“Put simply, I am a widow and the mother of four children, my youngest in high school and I WILL NOT Relent to Hatred,” wrote Julie Baker on her GoFundMe page. “Instead, I will battle it with whimsy and beauty and laughter and love, wrapped around my home, yard and family!!!”

Read the note left anonymously at her house:

Dear Resident of 4900 Kenwood Avenue,

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.

A Concerned Home Owner.

The “relentlessly gay” yard consists of a set of rainbow jar solar lights that spell out “Love” and “Ohana.”

Baker has already blown past her $5,000 goal and raised over $30,000 for “relentlessly gay” renovations. She has said she will attempt to get a “Rainbow Roof” if enough funds are raised.
