Rainbow love

Isn't this house a beauty! And it is so gay. That's not me applying an adjective, the owner says so himself.

The other great thing about it is the location. It is directly across the street from the Westboro Baptist Church -- yup, that infamous "God Hates Fags" church made up of the Phelps clan in Topeka. I mentioned this house to my friend and debate partner. He's delighted with the free speech aspects of it. The photo is from Huffington Post, who tells the story and has a slideshow of 29 photos. Gawker also tells the story from a slightly different perspective.

And what do church members think? The church put out a statement:

"We thank God for the Sodomite Rainbow House. It is right across the street from the ONLY church that loves people enough to tell them the Bible truth about the filthy, soul-damning, nation-destroying sin of sodomy...The Sodomite Rainbow house helps shine a bright spotlight on this!"

Exercise for the reader: Is that really love?

That left commenters wondering if the house's owner miscalculated. The Phelps clan thrives on attention and acts like there is no such thing as bad publicity. Sigh.

That owner is Aaron Jackson who will probably be using the house as the headquarters of his charity, Planting Peace, and through it showing more love in a day than the Phelps clan has been able to manage in its entire 55 year existence.
