Some of Vice President-elect Mike Pence's new Washington neighbors are welcoming him to the area with gay-pride flags.

Several people on Pence's new block have hung rainbow pride flags to show their displeasure about his positions on LGBT issues, WJLA-TV reports.

Pence is living in the neighborhood during the transition before he moves into the vice president's mansion on the grounds of the Naval Observatory next year.

LGBT activists have criticized Pence for a 'religious-objections' law he signed as Indiana governor that they said could sanction discrimination against gay people.

Isle Heintzen is one of Pence's new neighbors.

Heintzen says the flag was designed to be a 'respectful message' expressing her disagreement with Pence's thinking.

She told WJLA: 'We do have obviously, disagreements. And as I said, this [is] one way that I can show my disagreement.'

Heintzen said: 'I have no idea what he will think about, but I hope that he will change his mind.'

Pence's temporary residence - a five-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath home in Northwest Washington's Chevy Chase neighborhood - has a monthly rental price of $6,000, according to the TV station.

A Pence spokesman did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment from DailyMail.com on Thursday.
