Westboro Baptists have some new neighbours

Westboro Equality House: Aaron Jackson Paints Rainbow Home Across From Anti-Gay Church

The Westboro Baptist Church is about to get a big surprise in the form of a new neighbor who plans to give the notoriously anti-gay group a taste of its own medicine.

Aaron Jackson, one of the founders of Planting Peace, a multi-pronged charity that has in the past concentrated on rainforest conservation, opening orphanages and deworming programs, bought a house that sits directly across from the church's compound six months ago. On Tuesday, March 19, he and a team of volunteers are painting it to match the gay pride flag.

The project -- which the nonprofit is calling the "Equality House" -- is the first in a new campaign Planting Peace plans to wage against the group. Westboro is known for its intimidating tactics of protesting (or threatening to protest) what they refer to as America's pro-gay, anti-God agenda, in close proximity to pride parades, soldier funerals and other events like the Sandy Hook memorial services.

I wonder if they will be neighbourly and bring over some freshly baked cookies? Yeah, probably not!

Here's a few pics of the house:

'Tis wonderful.

LOL too funny.

A Gay Pride Parade should be organized. Spur of the moment, secretive to prevent the other wackos from gathering.
Then bango- How do you like us so far eh.

You can ask how do you like us but you can's say "how do you like us so far eh"
"Eh" is a Canadianism and it would be like these people using maple leave pins
on their collars that won't do, being gay and Canadian too.
I love this these people need a taste of their own medicine

Kinda funny. Not sure it qualifies as "Planting Peace," though.

Just the sort of colourful neighbourliness Westboro won't likely celebrate

If I were American, I'd entertain the thought of opening up a GLBT sex toy shop next door.

Hopefully these Westboro idiots don't decide to do something about this "affront"(in their eyes). I wouldn't paint my house all those colours (makes my eyes hurt!), but good on them.
