For the last year and a half my boyfriend and I have proudly decorated our home’s entrance to celebrate holidays, seasons and Super Bowl victories. Recently (and what seems to be randomly) my condo association has decided to enforce a by-law that states outdoor decor is not permitted. This is where you (and this petition) comes into play, with enough signatures I’m hoping to encourage a by-law change so we can continue to brighten up Spruce street with (what I call) art.

To be honest we decorate partially for ourselves, but primarily for our community. We enjoy the dozens of folks who stop us to compliment / thank us for giving them something to appreiceate on their walk to work, school or just walk in general. It’s those moments that make it worth it. When children in strollers giggle or point, when folks take selfies, send pictures to friends or start EAGLES chants outside our door. Our decor is a place for is to show pride during gay Pride month, patriotism during July and holiday cheer October - December. Decorating it has become something we look forward to monthly. We just want to continue making people smile.
