Time Magazine: Man Turns House Across the Street From Westboro Baptist Church Into Gay Pride Flag

[Predicto]

LOL. Nicely done. Right across the street.

Repainting your house with an unorthodox color scheme can sometimes make your neighbors a little touchy. Particularly, this house — and particularly, these neighbors. Aaron Jackson, who runs the nonprofit group Planting Peace, has painted his newly bought house in Topeka, Kansas with bright rainbow colors — the same as the Gay Pride Flag. But what makes this house special is that it sits right across the street from the Westboro Baptist Church.

Jackson, a self-described news junkie, used Google Earth to locate the church — an organization famous for its virulent anti-homosexual views and its tendency to picket military funerals. But as he zoomed in on the Westboro compound, he realized that the house right across the street had a “For Sale” sign on it. He immediately called a realtor and began drawing up plans to turn the building into a LGBTQ museum — and though zoning laws prohibited that plan he went ahead with the idea of painting the house the colors of the rainbow Pride Flag.

I believe this could be the most awesome thing I have read on the internetz.

And I love those purple shutters.

I saw this like a month ago on here. I didn't know he wanted to turn it to a museum.

Really? Damn, I missed it. Mods can close the thread if they want.

Or, we can take the opportunity to mock the Westboro Baptists a second time

I don't think it was a thread, but I do remember seeing it. I have no problem laughing at Westboro for a second time...

One can never mock them too often. :pfft:

They've cleaned the property up nicely. Google Street View (corner of SW 12th Street and SW Orleans Street, Topeka) shows the house before the purchase. It looked a bit worse for the wear.
