Remember the folks who moved in across from the WBC? (re: bigot pizza)

They painted it in rainbow colors. Equality House.

Well, in response to bigot-pizza's recent fundraiser, they're having a little fundraiser of their own, in an effort to provide beds for LGBTQ youth.

Recently, nearly $850,000 was raised by the anti-LGBTQ movement for a family in Indiana who had to shut down their pizza shop after threats and backlash against them for their support of Governor Pence and the Religious Freedom Reformation Act and their negative stance on gay marriage. We find the idea of rewarding bigotry silly and shameful, so in response, Planting Peace urges you to join us showing support to the LGBTQ community by donating to our virtual pizza fundraiser. Buy a virtual slice online and the money we raise will go to support beds for LGBTQ homeless. While one family is being supported with nearly a million dollars for acts of bigotry, there are LGBTQ people being rejected by their families and society because of these very acts of bigotry. Don’t let acts of hate overshadow acts of love and compassion; please take a stand with Planting Peace and donate here:
