According to their doormat, the Indiana home of Jamie Foust and her wife Melissa's house is the "Gayest Place in Town."
Apparently, it was too gay for a pair of proselytizing Mormon missionaries who were caught on the couple's doorbell camera, leaving after they saw the message underfoot.
The moment left the lesbians "crying with laughter."
Foust, 28, and her wife, 32, bought the coir and rainbow-trimmed doormat from Target during Pride month as a gag. It was on sale for 10 bucks.
Two months later, Foust was checking out her doorbell cam footage, which had doormat in view, when the Mormons walked into the picture.
Footage revealed the pair of well-scrubbed, college-age Elders — dressed in regulation short-sleeved dress shirts, ties and slacks — setting foot on the couple's porch and taking in the welcome mat's unmistakable message.
The Mormons had arrived at the "Gayest Place in Town."
"Gayest?" one asked out loud. "Nope", replied the second, and they moseyed away.
Whether the "nope" indicated the address wasn't ripe for preaching, or whether the missionaries believed the home was not, in fact, the Gayest Place in Town, was unclear.
Foust, a factory worker, said she was "crying with laughter" watching the incident, and quickly showed it to her wife.
The pair posted the about-face to Foust's TikTok.
"My wife and I recently got a new door mat," Foust captioned the viddy. "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. "
The video went viral, racking up seven million views and nearly a million likes.
The comments rolled in, both pro and anti-missionary.
Cam wrote, "As a queer and trans former Mormon, this brings me such joy ✨"
Dietrich Daxon asked, "Isn't their job to 'save you'? They failed the 'mission'!!"
millenialmama91 recalled, "My mom accepted missionaries into our home years ago and tricked them into helping us pack up and move "
Tay loved "THE FACT THAT IT ACTUALLY WORKED "
JustDoug tried a dad joke when he was approached with the good Word. "I remember them coming to my door and their name tags said Elder Tom and Elder Bryon. I said 'Same first names!!' They don't have a sense of humor " he wrote.
But Morgan Mecham defended the young Elders. "Honestly I feel like them walking away is more out of respect like hey you guys do you no trouble," Mecham wrote.
Kristina Cannon agreed. "Ppl need to remember elders are usually 18-22 yrs old. They aren't perfect and likely walked away out of respect for you and how you want to live life," she wrote.
chiefclaudia added, "Missionaries are such nice people. It's heartbreaking to see people mistreat them. They're not pushy, at all!"
According to commenter Caitlyn Stankina, missionaries should now add doorbell cams to the many hazards of missionary work.
"Saw these two at another house on tiktok" she wrote.

I guess I need to invest in a doormat. Hahaha
Lol yeah I got a chuckle out of this as well when I read about it earlier today
a satanic pentagram on the front door used to work pretty good.
I was thinking maybe a doormat that said nudists live here...
It's a good thing they got out of there before they caught gay. It's really contagious you know.
I wonder if this is why I don't see these guys so much. We live basically across the street from a giant Mormon temple (and I do see them walking around the neighborhood), but they don't knock on my door. We usually have rainbows somewhere on the property, so maybe that's it.
I use to see them around here. Haven't in a while.
My Mother got into an accident at the street going in to my neighborhood. Hit a van. She said after, about ten Mormons got out of the van.
She asked them, I thought you were suppose to ride bikes....Haha
I scared off the last Mormons to knock at my door. I was busy cooking dinner and they knocked at the door. Daughter opened the door, yelled, Mom it's for you and I come out of the kitchen cursing and I see them. I got pretty hostile because I was not in a good mood and I was busy. I didn't give them time to say anything and said get off my property. They asked if they could do anything for me and I said, never darken my doorstep again.
I think I'm on a list. I don't get proselytizers at my door anymore
They can kiss my ass
I used to love fucking with those self righteous door to door hypocrites at my old condo complex. meh, I won't be going to their idea of heaven, thank god... can you imagine? some paradise, with a bunch of assholes running around and fucking up the place with even more jabbering after they get to meet their savior. no thanks. my idea of heaven doesn't include brain dead fucktards I make a point of avoiding in this life.
Think how boring it would be
All the good music would be down south...Haha
First time I ever heard of a gay doormat. Seems that they are really scary to some.
I use to have one for Halloween that when you stepped on it it made sound effects.
That is what is needed. Ha A doormat that talks when stepped on.
Get off my property! Step on again Get lost! Step on again You can come in...
Almost met a real Elder today.
I have to admit, these guys dress better than my lawyers and accountants ever have.
The young one looked innocent, had a thin valise, a man purse, some papers and an "iPad" of some sort.
The old one, masked, white hair and beard was extremely tall, clutching a well read Bible.
They seem to only move at one speed, across the street sidewalk, up our driveway and followed the
concrete walkway to the first turn towards the front door. The older gentleman stopped.
The younger won approached with some trepidation.
Now Bruce used to be aggressive with everyone but me,
but he's gotten older and started begging to be fed by hand.
He likes to sleep in the foyer on his door mat.
I heard Bruce hissing. He must have moved out of the way.
A very meek knock on the door.
When I looked out the Elders were facing away from the house now surrounded by
6 or 7 20 pound male Muskovy "ducks" that thought they were going to be fed.
The two gentlemen began a careful retreat without looking back
I'm kinda feeling left out here, they used to visit my house 2 or 3 times a year but it's been over a decade since I've seen one. Maybe they figured I was a lost cause?
On hot days I offer them water but I also have one rule. My porch, my religion.
