Community Rallies Around Moms Who Received Hateful Note From Neighbor
pride.comA Massachusetts family had some unexpected holiday jeer to deal with after a bigot left a rude note in their mailbox, taking aim at their pride flag and their politics.
Melissa Sheehan and her wife, Kelly, are raising two teenagers in Wilbraham, Massachusetts. She says that last year, her son asked why they didn’t have anything outside the house for pride month, so they put up a rainbow flag and a transgender flag, and added a Black Lives Matter flag to the bunch as well.
They also used to have an “any functioning adult” campaign sign in their yard as a joke, but it was taken down after the last election cycle.
However, at least one of their neighbors has apparently been holding onto a grudge over all of this, and decided Christmas was the best time to confront the couple about their beliefs — anonymously, of course. “Sheehan’s — I drive by regularly and wanted to drop you a note about your signs and flags,” reads a note Melissa found in her mailbox and shared to Facebook.
