Antarctica is known for frigid temperatures, parading penguins and now... being “the world’s first LGBT-friendly continent”?
That’s right — at least if Planting Peace has anything to say about it.
The non-profit advocacy organization, which created the pro-queer rainbow Equality House adjacent to the Westboro Baptist Church compound in Topeka, Kansas, recently traveled across Antarctica carrying a Pride flag in a symbolic effort to declare full human rights for all lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people living in or visiting Antartica. The gesture is also meant to raise awareness about securing equality for queer people on a global level.
