Julie Baker found a note from 'a concerned homeowner' on her doorstep regarding a set of rainbow jar solar lights hanging in her yard that spell out 'love' and 'ohana.'
'Your yard is becoming Relentlessly Gay! Myself and Others in the neighborhood ask that you Tone it Down,' the letter read.
'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.'
Baker then responded in the best way possible. She launched a GoFundMe campaign to make her yard even more relentlessly gay.
'Needless to say... I need more rainbows... Many, many more rainbows….' she wrote on the funding page. '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! '
Baker then said on a more serious note: '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!!!'
As of posting this, Julie has received more than double her GoFundMe request...here's hoping she can make the night time sky glow in full glorious rainbow colors for a thousand years!
