Washington woman's rainbow flag Christmas light display is perfect response to anti-LGBT neighbor

Lexi Magnusson -- who lives in a small town outside of Seattle -- recently met her new neighbor, a woman who stated outright that she and her family had moved away from Oregon because schools there were "making it okay" for students to be openly lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender.

Huffington Post reported that Magnusson was taken aback when the new addition to the neighborhood explained that it was completely unacceptable for her children to attend a school that allows same-sex couples at prom and lets trans teens openly express and celebrate their identity.

“She’s Mormon and heard that we were, too. My guess is that she thought we were still believers, even though my husband told her we no longer attend,” she told Huffington Post. “I imagine she thought we still held the same belief about LGBTQ issues as the Church does. We absolutely do not. It’s why I left the Mormon church.”

“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,’” Magnusson recounted. “Then I walked inside [my house] and rage-ate a bowl of nachos.”

Magnusson then decided to decorate her lawn with a giant, glowing rainbow flag make of 10,000 Christmas lights.

“Our new neighbors are bigots," she posted on Reddit. "Since regular aggression leads to assault charges, I went with passive aggression. 10,000 lights later.”

“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.”
