Baltimore resident Julie Baker raised $43K on GoFundMe to make her yard more gay after posting a letter she says she got from a neighbor complaining about her "relentlessly gay" yard decor. Snopes investigator Kim LaCapria did a little digging and found the story got curiouser and curiouser.

Anti-hoax consumer activists raised suspicions as soon as the fundraiser began, because Baker's own idiosyncratic capitalization and punctuation matched the style of the alleged letter from her neighbor. But when people want to believe something, it can blind them to such evidence. Quoth LaCapria:
