Julie Baker is a resident of Baltimore. She has decided to show her support for equality with these lamps:
This earned an irate response from a neighbor:
Which earned this further response from Baker, in the form of a GoFundMe campaign:
I opened my door, and found a note from my neighbor. Regarding a set of rainbow jar solar lights hanging in my yard that spell out "Love" and "Ohana". They informed me that the neighborhood is "christian" and has "children" and asked me to stop being "relentlessly gay"....
Needless to say... I need more rainbows... Many, many more rainbows .
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!!!
Thanks for your relentlessly gay support!
Relentlessly!!!

(50,273 posts)1. I guess she would hate a couple of churches I pass by regularly.
They have huge rainbow flags. And they're very "mainstream" churches.

(20,885 posts)2. I think her neighbors would hate them more.
