Relentlessly Gay

[malkin]

...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?!

My front door is painted red

She wants it painted black.

The funny part (to me) is she's not gay to begin with, just crafty/artistic and loves rainbows.

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

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!

[Pax]

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 :-)

[Trek420]

Long read but maybe the whole street will get rainbow kitten butterfly unicorn jar lanterns? ;-)

I just received the following update from her Go Fund Me campaign:

A few months ago a fearful and ignorant act set off an avalanche. The avalanche was a thing of beauty, of support and of love. The snow kicked up into the sun and created a crystalline rainbow. Avalanches are relentless in their movement and breathtaking as they rumble down to the earth, shaking the ground. While thousands donated and thousands more offered support, the truth is that this project went from an artistic snow ball tossed in the face of hate to an avalanche. To deal with the debris, which includes taxes and an overabundance of resources it is with a saddened heart that all donations will be returned. If a time machine were available, it would have all ended at the original requested amount. It was never about the money but being happy in the face of intolerance. Do not for an instant think the support of spirit, art, love and monetary donations were for naught. A statement was heard across the globe, loud and clear was our avalanche. I ask you to take your donations back and give to local artists or educational nonprofit organizations.

I'm guessing the initial "note" that sparked it all was a hoax. But I sure got a good laugh out of it.

[PamNY]

That is hilarious. Even if it was a hoax, "relentlessly gay" made a lot of people laugh, I'm sure. And it would be a great t-shirt.

Don’t know if it was being overwhelmed with the response, attention and money or a hoax but hopefully local artists and educational nonprofits will now benefit.

And being relentlessly gay has given me the ability to see her original line “ I will battle it with whimsy and beauty and laughter and love wrapped around my home, yard and family” fitting nicely with the now ending line “ the avalanche was a thing of beauty, of support and of love. The snow kicked up into the sun and created a crystalline rainbow”……that’s what I’ll take from this.
