A gay couple in St. Petersburg, Fla. called police when an anonymous letter arrived in the mail addressed to “Resident Dolts.”

Commenting on their Clinton-Kaine lawn sign, the antigay neighbor wrote: “You still advertise as if you are ignorant of developments, but that’s not surprising for the community known ‘gay house.'”
