The sequel to Brokeback Mountain?


Enough already, say the residents of Gaywood Road who are darned tired of getting their street signs nabbed by pranksters humored by the name.

The fourth custom-made green wooden sign with fancy white letters disappeared over the holidays. With new signs costing $600 a pop, neighbors aren't laughing anymore.

Residents on Gaywood Road in Alamo -- and on Gaywood Place in Moraga, where street signs also have been stolen -- like their street name and wouldn't have it any other way. They want no such name change and are bemused by those captivated by the word "gay."

"At first we made a joke out of it, and everybody pitched in to buy a new sign," said 10-year Alamo resident Linda Buschmeyer. "Then, it wasn't so funny the second time on. It is kind of a personal insult."
