In today’s climate, where bigotry sometimes feels more pronounced, finding inventive ways to push back against intolerance can be a challenge. A thoughtful and creative mom from the Seattle area has shown us how to do just that—albeit with a touch of humor and flair.
Meet Sarah Hudson
Sarah believes her new neighbor assumed that she shared outdated views on LGBTQ issues simply because she had a Mormon background. Despite her efforts to engage patiently and rationally, the neighbor’s derogatory comments about the LGBTQ community prompted Sarah to respond in a way that was both festive and pointed.
In an interview with a local news outlet, Sarah recounted the incident: “She found out we used to be Mormon and seemed to think that we still held the same beliefs about LGBTQ individuals as the church. That couldn’t be further from the truth; it’s exactly why I distanced myself from that community.”
A Dazzling Display of Support
Not one to let intolerance slide, Sarah decided to take action—by decking out her home with a breathtaking 10,000 rainbow-colored lights. Yes, you read that right—the iconic colors of the LGBTQ flag illuminated her front yard, sending a clear message to the neighbor who had voiced concern about shielding her children from “that kind of influence.”
“She said she wanted to protect her kids from those lifestyles,” Sarah explained. “Well, it looks like she might need to find another neighborhood.” After setting up her dazzling light display, Sarah shared a photo on social media, where it quickly garnered thousands of likes and supportive comments. However, the feedback that truly touched her heart came from her gay cousin. “I felt amazing putting those lights up. I texted my cousin, who is also gay and loves Christmas lights, and his approval meant everything to me,” Sarah said.
A Powerful Message
To further illustrate her stance, Sarah calmly addressed her neighbor’s bigotry with a simple yet powerful response: “Your kids will encounter this no matter where you go. These days, kids understand not to treat others badly based on who they are.” And then, in a moment of humor, she added, “I went inside and had a bowl of nachos to cope with the whole situation.”
Indeed, there’s something beautifully defiant about celebrating love and acceptance through a sparkling display of lights.
