Across from Westboro is a rainbow-colored house owned by a non-profit called Planting Peace that serves to constantly oppose the church’s anti-LGBTQ messaging.
Phelps-Roper writes that her grandfather called out toward the house: "You're good people," resulting in his almost immediate excommunication.

Her own path out came from conversations with people on Twitter, who at one point launched a #SaveMegan campaign.
