Rainbow house fights Westboro Baptist with love

TOPEKA, Kan. — Location, location, location. It’s what often sells a house or determines the success of a business, and it’s the case for the house that was painted in rainbow colors this week on S.W. Orleans Street in Topeka.

Dubbed the “Equality House,” it’s right across the street from the home of the cult-like homophobic Westboro Baptist Church, the group notorious for picketing the funerals of U.S. soldiers and for its signs proclaiming, “God hates fags.”
