House Across From Westboro Baptist Is Painted With Gay Pride Rainbow Colors

Aaron Jackson took inspiration from a 9-year-old kid who stood up to Westboro Baptist Church protesters.

As Mark wrote last year, Josef Miles stood in front of protesters carrying signs that read "God Hates [Gays]" with his own sign that read "God Hates No One."

Today, Jackson is following through on a project that started about six months ago when he decided to buy a house across the street from the infamous church in Topeka, Kan.

Jackson, whose charity Planting Peace, has opened orphanages and bought endangered forest land in Peru, told Gawker earlier today that they have renamed the building "Equality House" and the project seeks to fight bigotry.

Saw that today. Thought it was pretty funny.

I would have preferred that a VFW post or a biker gang had bought this property, but if it causes Westboro Church members distress and discomfort then I'm all for it.

I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

I think that is much too subtle. I did not know there are gay pride rainbow colors. Would they?

Oh yeah. There's a link in the OP to their response on Twitter - their usual nastiness.

If there was real justice in the world, sinkholes would be attracted to places like that church and the morons that belong to it.

The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
