    Planting Peace did not immediately return a request for comment from MSN.

    According to an online fundraiser for Equality House, the center hopes to serve as a "symbol of equality, peace and positive change."

    It will serve as the resource center for all Planting Peace equality and anti-bullying initiatives.

    Past initiatives of the organization include building orphanages in Haiti and India as well as de-worming children in Guatemala.

    Planting Peace's founder, Aaron Jackson, told the Kansas City Fox affiliate that a small team of volunteers had painted the house.

    "People keep coming out, honking horns, taking pictures,” he said. “There has been no negative response."

    Local artist Wendy Prentice volunteered as the project's "color connoisseur."

    Jackson reportedly stumbled on the location of Westboro Baptist Church while surfing on Google Earth.

    He found a "For Sale" sign sitting on a house across from it and immediately decided to buy the house and paint it with the colors of the pride flag.
