Doorbell Cam Captures Mormon Missionaries Peacing Out After Reading Lesbian Couple's Doormat

Doorbell Cam Captures Mormon Missionaries Peacing Out After Reading Lesbian Couple's Doormat

Two Mormon missionaries were caught on a doorbell cam doing a complete 180 after noticing a welcome mat with a message that didn't align with their views.

The greeting on the doormat declared the home was the "Gayest Place in town."


It seemed the two missionaries from the Church of Latter Day Saints wanted no part of it and decided, just this once, not to push their agenda on the home's residents.

In a clip posted by TikToker @jamie.foust94, the young Mormon elders, in their signature short-sleeve shirts and black ties, approached the residence and paused after the doormat caught their eye.

One of them started reading aloud but the other quickly interjected with a "nope."

Then they both pivoted and walked away to continue their door-to-door soliciting elsewhere.

My wife and I recently got a new door mat. It was a great investment. It says “gayest place in town” and has the added benefit of keeping religious zealots from knocking on our door to tell us about their god. 😂

So what was it exactly that made them flee from the scene?

It was this lovely rainbow-framed doormat.

According to Pink News the home belonged to lesbian couple Jamie and Melissa Foust.

They bought the LGBTQ-themed mat from Target during Pride month but had no idea what benefits their new home décor purchase would provide.

Jamie, who posted the footage, wrote in the video's caption:

"My wife and I recently got a new door mat. It was a great investment. It says 'gayest place in town' and has the added benefit of keeping religious zealots from knocking on our door to tell us about their god."

When playing back the CCTV footage, the couple reportedly was "crying with laughter."

TikTokers also found humor in seeing the effectiveness of the Mormon-repellent item.

TikTokers also noted how one of the elders couldn't finish reading the message aloud.

Some "Mishies" are known to disregard "No Soliciting" signs and knock anyway because they insist they are sharing the word of the Lord.

People who would rather avoid these encounters may want to consider something similar to the Foust's doormat.

In the end, it's just as well the elders went on their way after discovering the LGBTQ-friendly home.

After all, you can't pray the gay away.

Sarah Jessica Parker Claps Back At Conservative Critics Who Want Her To 'Shut Up' About Politics And 'Act'

Nothing seems to get conservatives' goats quite like celebrities having political opinions—well, liberal and leftist celebrities, anyway.

They seem to love it when weird right-wing celebs like Kevin Sorbo get on the internet and say bizarre, usually counterfactual nonsense, or when JK Rowling does her darnedest to make her legacy not about Harry Potter but about her weird obsession with trans people.

Far-right provocateur Ann Coulter is facing fierce criticism after she made a genocidal remark in a now-deleted post on X in response to University of Minnesota professor and Navajo Nation member Melanie Yazzie's speech about colonization.

Yazzie, in a speech at last year's annual Socialism Conference, said "decolonization is the only thing that is going to save us as a species" during a panel hosted by Red Nation, a Native American nonprofit that advocates for Palestinian and Native American rights. She also said that the United States is the "greatest predator empire that has ever existed" and said it should be dismantled.
