Sometimes.. it's interesting to hear about how some folks do things to both improve the world AND put the metaphorical thumb in bigot's eyes.

All I got to say about this for now is.. I hoe the new owner has LOTS of insurance and some good video security. Cause I'm sure that his neighbors might do something to the place.. .and it would be a definite SHAME if they got caught on tape doing something illegal.

That is made of pure win.

Makes me hope that some of the more senior folks will cardiac out on the spot.. I'm sure that SOMETHING will come of this.

My first thought was that maybe other organizations will follow suit, and soon all of the WB churches will have organizations across from them promoting equality and love.  Might go a long way to neutralize the venom and hate they try and spread.

When I think of a nonviolent demonstration for civil rights, this is exactly what I'm going to think of now.

And ditto what Mithlomwen said; I'd love to see other organizations that promote equality locate nearby the WBC locales. Might be a step in the right direction, countering bigoted behavior with proper behavior.

Let's be honest though.. how many OTHER folks will want to be next to the rude folks?

Sorry - wasn't talking about his issue with the seller, more the fact that he chose a perfect one himself.  'S what I get for talking in aphorisms.

Can't help agreeing with Callie here - that would be the irony indeed!

Now...that is news.   ;D. next thing they should protest one of the funerals.

As vile as the WBC is, they also tend to be fairly careful not to step over the line as far as the actual letter of the law is concerned. I think they'll likely do a lot of picketing of the house but I doubt you'll actually hear of them vandalizing it in any way.

They don't have to do anything illegal, just the thought of them having to look out their windows and seeing a giant ass rainbow building of homo, is more than enough to make me laugh. The thought, let alone the sight of it being there will have them pissed beyond all measure. Were I the owner of the building, I would be having way too much fun with future ways to wind them up further. Then again, I'm kinda of brat, so that's just how I roll.
I'm also on Discord (like, all the time), so feel free to ask about that if you want
