The Relentlessly Gay Battle of the Neighbours

Written by:  Jamie

Baltimore homeowner, Julie Baker, who is a widow and mother of four, wanted to brighten up her yard in a very Pinteresty way. She made solar lamps with mason jars and spelled out “love” an “Ohana” (the Hawaiian word for family) within them. It’s a beautiful project that I now wish to replicate for my backyard.

One, I’m sure, very upbeat and friendly neighbour took offense enough that they decided to send Julie a note.

letter

I, for one, am so glad someone is looking out for the children of the area and protecting their delicate eyes from the horrors of bright, uplifting colours.

2782075-5348157470-10996

Upon receiving the letter Julie was not sure how to feel about it. She chose to laugh and retaliate through more joy and brightness.

Its my home, I own it, I pay big taxes every year, I do not belong to a HOA, and this neighborhood belongs to the people in it …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!!!

Julie has decided to respond by crowd-sourcing funds to fight the bigotry. If she can raise enough she says her roof will become a rainbow.
