Non-profit group Planting Peace has announced plans to add a Transgender House next door to the existing Equality House, a move guaranteed to raise the hackles of neighboring eejits the Westboro Baptist Church.
Avery’s story resonated so much with Planting Peace that the group now plans a permanent neighboring house painted the color of the transgender flag in order to grow “our presence of peace and acceptance for all people directly across from the Westboro Baptist Church, a hate group internationally known for its vile campaigns against the LGBT community.”

Debi Jackson, Avery’s mother, said:
“The Equality House has always been a positive, iconic landmark for LGBT people to visit. I would love to see a Transgender House embraced the same way – with enthusiasm, love and pride.”
Planting Peace has started a crowdfunding campaign to finance the project.
Last month, we reported that Planting Peace declared Antarctica to be the world’s first LGBT-friendly continent.
