Westboro Baptist Church Epically Trolled By Rainbow Colored House Right Across The Street

Today will not be a good day for the Westboro Baptist Church. Even as the borderline cult members skulk about their church muttering about how much they hates gays, every time they look out their window across the street, they’ll be reminded that, while their hate speech is protected by the Constitution, so it is for other people. People whose message stands in stark opposition to the bile the Phelps family spews on a daily basis. To make matters worse, the reminder is far more colorful and interesting than the WBC could ever hope to be:

In case you’re wondering, yes, the house is directly across the street. They’ve also planted a full length flag pole to mirror the one WBC has, in this case, literally. Whereas the Equality House flag pole has the American and gay pride flags, the WBC flagpole hangs those same flags, but upside down. But who would want to own a house surrounded by some of the most hateful people in the country (the church owns many of the houses on the block)?
Via HuffPo:
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.
