The Westboro Baptist Church, a radical organization known best for picketing against military funerals and anything it deems un-Godly has a new neighbor. Radar Online reported that Planting Peace, a charitable organization focusing on gay rights and anti-bullying initiatives recently set up shop across from the Topeka, Kan., compound.

Planting Peace founder Aaron Jackson could not resist the opportunity to purchase the single-story $80,000 home as a site for a "drop-in center" for those afflicted by bullying and the like. Not only did Jackson and his organization purchase the home, but they recently concluded adding a paintjob: a rainbow. The new satellite office, where Jackson is currently living, is sporting horizontal bars of red, blue, purple and green in protest to the Westboro Baptist Church's ideology and actions.

Jackson recently started an online fundraiser to support the new center's efforts against Westboro and organizations like it. There was no published reaction from Fred Phelps or any of his Westboro Baptist Church congregation.
