Rainbow neighborhood

My friend and debate partner responded to my post yesterday about the rainbow house:
Great photo. What's the second flag hanging below the stars and stripes? Doesn't look like a Rainbow flag, but its only partly visible.

The church's statement lacks credibility unless the congregants are unfeeling soulless robots. They will see that house often, even if that happens with guarded peripheral vision. They will have to explain to their children why that house looks like that. And, whatever their behavior, their feelings are bound to be affected.

Aaron Jackson did not miscalculate by placing an opposition non-profit in the church's vision. The best thing now would be to surround that church with similar organizational offices, to emphasize the message. Bring on the striped neighborhood! More free speech!
To fill in a detail or two…

Yes, the second flag (according to the original accounts) is a rainbow flag.

According to many accounts, the congregants are indeed "unfeeling soulless robots." Sigh.

I like the idea of a Rainbow Neighborhood. Since the church shows up at soldier funerals perhaps one of those houses should be for a gay veterans organization. Alas, I heard most of the houses in the neighborhood are owned by church members.
