Sometimes, when youā€™re an out-and-proud couple, living together in your beautiful rainbow bubble, you have to deal with haters.

And sometimes, they come in the form of one of your fathers.

Thatā€™s what happened to Arizona couple Destenny and Destiny ā€“ and they had a fantastic response.

Destinyā€™s dad came into their house and took the Pride flag the couple had hung up on their wall.

Whatā€™s worse, he threw it away.

But the couple knew exactly what to do.

They replaced it.

Not just that, though ā€“ they made it permanent.

Stripe by stripe, they painted a Pride flag on their wall.

Canā€™t take that and put it in the bin.

Others were just full-on in love with the concept of getting back at a homophobic parent in this way.

And to be fair, it is pretty amazing.
