Ahead of Kentucky clerk Kim Davis’ return to work on Monday after being jailed for contempt of court, a gay rights group put up a billboard in her hometown taunting her about the definition of marriage.

Planting Peace, the same group that painted a rainbow flag on the house across the street from the anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church, is responsible for the billboard. It reads, “Dear Kim Davis, The fact that you can’t sell your daughter for three goats and a cow means we’ve already redefined marriage.”

“We put up this billboard just kind of reminding her that from a religious perspective, the definition of marriage has been constantly changing, and this isn’t actually about religion,” Davis Hammet, the group’s director of operations, told Lexington, Kentucky, television station WKYT. “We’re talking about government-issued marriage licenses here.”

The group spent $500 on the billboard, which will remain on a busy road in Rowan County for a month, according to NBC News.
