WASHINGTON — Some of Vice President-elect Mike Pence’s new Washington neighbors are giving him and his family a colorful welcome — with a message — to the area by displaying gay-pride flags, according to WUSA-TV.

Several people on Pence’s new block in Northwest D.C. have hung rainbow pride flags to show their displeasure about his positions on LGBT issues.

Pence is renting a house in the neighborhood during the transition before he moves into the vice president’s mansion on the grounds of the Naval Observatory in January. Mashable reports Pence is paying $6,000 a month for the rental.

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

"I think he's a man who could use a little reminder about American values," said one neighbor.

IIsle Heintzen, another of Pence’s new neighbors, said flying the flag was designed to be a “respectful message” expressing her disagreement with Pence’s thinking.

A Pence spokesman did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment Thursday.
