Pence welcomed to new neighborhood with rainbow flags
It wasn’t the Welcome Wagon greeting Mike Pence in his temporary neighborhood.
Click here for reuse options!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.
Now this isn’t 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.

It is worth noting that US law gives people the right to burn any flag or any book, including the Rainbow flag and The Koran. If we are truly interested in tolerance, then we need to consider how our actions might be perceived by those who consider such symbols to be sacred, including the American flag and The Bible. If you put a crucifix in a jar of urine and display it in a public art museum, don’t be surprised when someone draw cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed. I’d much prefer to live in a society where *all* cultures are respected. That doesn’t mean we can’t criticize aspects of other cultures. But there are respectful ways to voice criticism. Displaying rainbow flags is a respectful way to make a point. Burning American flags is not.

there is no way to be respectful of the trash that will be pres and vp in the usa. The two and their minions deserve nothing but ridicule and total disrespect.

Pence proposed cutting funding for AIDS and diverting the money to faux conversion “ex-gay” therapy programs. Self-hating Pence proves con-artists gay-to straight therapy doesn’t work. Hence the so many rainbows in the Indiana gubers VP future. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michelangelo-signorile/mike-pences-blatant-anti-lgbt-extremism-completely-ignored-in-debate_b_12353590.html
