Mike Pence's neighbors are calling him out with rainbow flags
Neighbors of Vice President-elect Mike Pence are letting him know exactly how they feel about his stance towards the LGBTQ community.
Rainbow flags are flying high in the Chevy Chase neighborhood of Washington, D.C., where Pence is currently renting a $6,000-a-month home, ABC 7 News reports.
Pence's neighbors are standing against his well-known history of supporting oppressive policies against the LGBTQ community. He has called same-sex marriage a sign of "societal collapse" and once called for funneling taxpayers' money toward so-called gay conversion therapy.

When one of Pence's neighbors suggested buying a pride flag, others soon followed, Ilse Heintzen, one of the flag-flying neighbors, told ABC 7.
“I have no idea what [the vice president-elect] will think about, but I hope he will change his mind," she said. “This is one way that I can show my disagreement."
Pence is temporarily staying in the DC neighborhood until he moves into the Vice-President’s mansion at the Naval Observatory. But while he's in Chevy Chase, the pride flags aren't going anywhere.
