In a viral TikTok video that has sparked both amusement and debate, two Mormon missionaries demonstrated their unwavering dedication to their faith after encountering a provocative doormat at the home of a gay couple in Indiana.

The story begins when Jamie and Melissa, a married gay couple, decided to adorn their front porch with a rainbow-trimmed doormat proudly displaying the words, “Gayest Place In Town.” Little did they know that this simple addition would become a focal point of interaction with their community.

One of the missionaries started to read the mat out loud, but before he could utter the full sentence, his partner intervened, saying, “Nope,” and the two walked away.

Amused by the situation, the couple uploaded the footage to TikTok, where it quickly went viral, garnering over 7 million views and more than 900,000 likes. Many commenters saw the funny side, with one remarking, “Isn’t their job to ‘save’ you? They failed the ‘mission’!!” The light-hearted comments flowed freely, with users joking about the rainbow’s apparent power to keep the missionaries at bay.
