He painted the exterior of the house with the colors of the pride flag in 2013 and it became the "Equality House."[12][13][14] Through Planting Peace, Jackson placed a billboard in Kim Davis' hometown after she denied marriage licenses to same sex couples in 2015.[15] In 2016, Jackson traveled to Antarctica to place a pride flag deeming it "the world's first LGBT-friendly continent."[3][17] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web| url=http://www.browardpalmbeach.com/news/antarctica-declared-the-first-lgbt-friendly-continent-by-aaron-jackson-of-planting-peace-7667672| title=Antarctica Declared the First LGBT-Friendly Continent by Aaron Jackson of Planting Peace| author=Deirdra Funcheon| date=March 22, 2016| publisher=Broward Palm Beach New Times| access-date=May 30, 2016}} [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]2. ^1 {{cite web| url=http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/03/21/man-turns-house-across-the-street-from-westboro-baptist-church-into-gay-pride-flag/| title=Man Turns House Across the Street From Westboro Baptist Church Into Gay Pride Flag| author=Mackenzie Young| date=March 21, 2013| publisher=Time| access-date=May 30, 2016}} 3. ^1 {{cite web| url=http://www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/davidbadash/antarctica_has_now_been_declared_the_world_s_first_lgbt_friendly_continent| title=Antarctica Has Now Been Declared the World's First LGBT Friendly Continent| author=David Badash| date=March 22, 2016| publisher=The New Civil Rights Movement| access-date=May 30, 2016}} 4. ^1 {{cite web| url=https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2013/03/19/174737257/house-across-westboro-baptist-is-painted-with-gay-pride-rainbow| title=House Across From Westboro Baptist Is Painted With Gay Pride Rainbow Colors| date=March 19, 2013| author=Eyder Peralta| publisher=NPR| access-date=May 30, 2016}} 5. ^1 2 {{cite web| url=http://www.browardpalmbeach.com/news/aaron-jackson-cnn-hero-distributes-pizza-to-homeless-outside-city-hall-6451713| title=Aaron Jackson, CNN Hero, Distributes Pizza to Homeless Outside City Hall| author=Dylan Bouscher| date=November 11, 2014| publisher=Broward Palm Beach New Times| access-date=May 30, 2016}} 6. ^1 {{cite web| url=http://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/healing-haiti-6363065| title=Healing Haiti| author=Michael J.
