Mike Pence's New Neighbors Greet Him with Rainbow-Colored Flags
---------------------------------------------------------------

And some residents of the Chevy Chase neighborhood in Washington, D.C.,
are welcoming their newest neighbor, Vice President-elect Mike Pence, by
hanging rainbow-colored flags from their homes. Pence is living in the
neighborhood until Inauguration Day.

Allison Fenn: "Given the governor's stance on gay rights issues, it
seemed like a really crucial message to make that everyone needs to be
supported rather than feel threatened. And I think we have a fundamental
disagreement with his stand on this and just want to not only bring it
to his attention, but to make others feel supported who might otherwise
feel threatened."
