"How could you deny Avery Jackson her vision to create a Transgender House across from Westboro Baptist Church?
Avery Jackson, an eight-year-old transgender child, wants to help a LGBT nonprofit do something bold: purchase a house across the street from the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kan.
Planting Peace, which wants to buy the property, already manages the neighboring Equality House. The house, painted the colors of the rainbow, was founded in 2012 to counter the Westboro Baptist Church's angry message with love and compassion and serve as a symbol to the LGBT community that they are not alone.
With another house now available next to the church, Avery and Planting Peace need to raise $70,000 via the fundraising website CrowdRise platform. The goal for the transgender house is to continue the organization's LGBT equality efforts. It will be painted blue, pink, and white – the colors of the transgender flag."
