This woman made a rainbow display out of 10,000 Christmas lights to defy her homophobic neighbor. 

Lexi Magnusson, who lives outside of Seattle, says that a new neighbor stopped by her house to explain that she’d moved to “protect” her children from their LGBT-friendly school and others in her area with that “lifestyle.” 

“I responded only with, ‘Your kids are going to be exposed to this no matter where you take them. Kids these days get it. They know not to be horrible to other kids based on how they were born,’” she said. “Then I walked inside [my house] and rage-ate a bowl of nachos.”

Being a big fan of putting up what she describes as a “ridiculous amount of lights” every Christmas, Magnusson decided it would be cathartic to make a rainbow flag of 10,000 lights in her hedges.

“I felt good the entire time I put them up,” she told HuffPost. “I sent a text to my cousin who loves Christmas lights like I do, and who is also gay. His approval was everything.”

Make the yuletide gay, y’all. (via the Huffington Post)
