Woman who received $43,000 for her ‘relentlessly gay’ yard accused of being a hoax | Gay Star News

This is the incident as I first heard about it has morphd into something potentially ugly. What do you think?

Online sleuths have pointed out that both Baker and the letter she allegedly received appear to feature the same improper use of capitalization.

The letter features words such as ‘others,’ and ‘forced’ that are capitalized while her GoFundMe page shows words such as ‘home’, ‘relent’ and ‘hatred’ that are incorrectly capitalized.

Gay website Queerty reported that Baker consistently capitalizes words on her Facebook page, where she often goes on rants about Christian’s being opposed to gay marriage.

‘Myth-busting’ website Snopes contacted the police after reaching out to Baker.

It reported that when donations to the campaign reached US$43,000 critics began questioning why Baker was continuing to accumulate monies far in excess of her goal of $5,000.

Snopes then reached out to Baker asking if she could provide any information to readers to reassure them of the authenticity of her claims.

Snopes said they were told by a detective that ‘Baker was either unwilling or unable to produce the letter in question, and that she had maintained it was no longer in her possession.’

The detective also said that he had attempted to meet with Baker in person the previous day but was unable to do so.

Baker closed her GoFundMe page on 22 June. On the page, she thanked donors for their ‘extreme generosity.’
