Aaron Jackson, the group's president, travelled all the way to the penguin filled wonderland and planted the rainbow LGBT pride flag to commemorate this monumental occasion. The organization didn't stop there though. Several members were sent to trek across the continent with a giant pride flag in order to bring awareness to the need for equality for all gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender persons all over the globe.
In a statement released to The New Civil Rights Movement, Jackson said, "The trip was planned to raise awareness for the need for action across the planet because basic rights are still denied to the LGBT community in so many countries across the world".
Frankly, even if Planting Peace doesn't have the authority to make this declaration for Antarctica, I highly doubt the penguins that live there are going to argue with them. Planting Peace went out of their way to create a bold and amazing statement for equality that will have people talking for years to come and I love it.
Plus they got some pretty amazing pictures as well.
