In Mr. Pences New D.C. Neighborhood, Not Exactly The Welcome Wagon
By Ian Shapira. December 3.
In the affluent Washington neighborhood of Chevy Chase, the tinsel, poinsettias and Christmas trees are competing for attention this holiday season with an unusual house decoration: gay pride rainbow flags.
When news filtered out in late November that Vice President-elect Mike Pence was temporarily moving into the white colonial with green shutters on Tennyson Street NW in the heart of Chevy Chase, a liberal Democratic stronghold neighbors decided to greet the Republican interloper with polite protest: rainbow flags flapping from their homes. It was time to Make Chevy Chase Great Again.
Mike Pences new neighbors greet him with rainbow flags] Now this isnt San Francisco, South Beach or Provincetown. Most of the homeowners who ran out to buy the flags or ordered them online are straight.
But in this neighborhood of oak trees and single-family homes, where 85 percent voted for Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine and just 9 percent cast ballots for Donald Trump and Mike Pence, residents wanted to make clear where they stand. I thought it would send a message in an appropriate way. One idea was to put a Chevy Chase.
Hillary banner, but we thought that would be too in-your-face, said Joanna Pratt, 66, an environmental consultant who came up with the idea and lives across the street from Pence. Now, at least seven homes on the street boast the flags a response to Pences opposition over the years to equal rights for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.

It’s not illegal to burn a rainbow flag.
Mike Pences new neighbors put up LGBT pride flags in protest
Pence needs to hold a nightly rainbow flag burning ceremony.
Not in the case of the current one.

LOL! - The office, not the person.
.
I find this very funny.
This is the way young children act.
He will be the only adult in the neighborhood.
.
If that is what you call someone who has never worked an honest day in their lives.
.
No.
A highly manipulative position to be sure, but still just one voice in a committee that votes to set their position.
.
Bargaining stage.
Yet another fake news story. The naval observatory has no visible neighbors. None. Zero.
But the fact that Huma Abedin was an editor for a Saudi magazine that condemned homosexuals and single mothers doesn’t bother these hypocrites one bit.
There is no end to the idiocy of the liberals and homosexuals.
Chevy Chase must be so proud of its progressive tolerance, because nothing signals refinement quite like feces on a penis.
Only seven homes giving the finger to our new Vice President AND those seven get a story in the Washington Post?
If some liberal elite hater goes over and pisses on Mike Pence's lawn the Washington Post will offer the guy a job as columnist. Not that the Post is taking sides... or encouraging violence against people who think differently than they do... Well, that is what they're doing - because they're biased jerks.
Please tell PRyn0 thst he has powers thst he has not yet exercised.
He should fly a Sowdie flag.
FR protests to get interlopers outta Cheny’s house made me do a circumnavigation back in the day. You are totally correct.
Now there’s an idea!
