Relentlessly Gay

[Eden]

Some people… From the title I expected to see a somewhat over the top yard with lots of ticky-tacky yard ornaments (where and when I grew up, stuffing your yard full of gazing balls, Mary bird baths, flags, cutouts of old ladies bending over, old plumbing fixtures filled with flowers etc etc was fashionable, or at least widespread), so to see her understated lamp display described that way was a guffaw even before reading the rest of what her neurotic neighbor wrote. OMG how dare she display something with the colors of the rainbow… good grief.. shall we take out all of our lawns for pushing an Irish agenda? My front door is painted red - OMG I've just realized I'm a communist! Maybe her neighbor just needs to stay in her house with the blinds drawn so she will never have to be exposed to anything that might differ from her narrow view of the world…

...My front door is painted red - OMG I've just realized I'm a communist! …

I'm finding your red door relentlessly ambiguous! Are you a communist or did you vote republican?!

Her neighbor needs THIS in her life - and I think that she protests far too much

My front door is painted red

She wants it painted black.

I just got back from the Little Red Riding Hood Ride In Utah- an all womens' ride where the guys from the support clubs dress up as wolves of Little Red Riding Hoods- because of this years theme, this meant dance hall girls and the Big Bad Wolf as a sheriff wolf complete with 6 gun and tin start. Also several tall plains Indians with feathered headdress wandering around at the rest stops. As I was driving into Salt Lake city I encountered digital billboards one of which was a rainbow and a cartoon god saying "God loves Gays" which I was quite struck by.

Of course if this lady really wanted to freak her neighbors she could always go for the pagan symbolism ( white craft) mixed in with her relentlessly gay and cheerful yard. I would think she would be on fairly safe round unless she lives in a Home owner association neighborhood where the lawn Nazis might object. I would wear a God loves gays t shirt or a relentlessly gay t shirt in a shot and I have made a contribution to her rood fund in the name of my son and his partner who are relentlessly gay and we love them dearly.

Those billboards are great! It's a crowdfunded project by the Facebook God. I forget where the other one(s) are. He captioned the link to the story about the rainbow luminaries, "Time for another billboard." So cool you got to see it.

That is really cool, Marni, I'd love to see one of those billboards!

Bet that neighbors head popped off today!

I thought the same thing! Rainbows everywhere today. And it's the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots today, too.

I had forgotten this, but even on Ravelry (a knitting/crochet forum) they mentioned this when adding a rainbow flag to the logo.

As far as that women's neighbor, the rainbow butterfly unicorn kitten just needs to pay her a visit for comfort :-)
