When one of Pence's neighbors suggested buying a pride flag, others soon followed, Ilse Heintzen, one of the flag-flying neighbors, told ABC 7.
“I have no idea what [the vice president-elect] will think about, but I hope he will change his mind," she said. “This is one way that I can show my disagreement."
Pence is temporarily staying in the DC neighborhood until he moves into the Vice-President’s mansion at the Naval Observatory. But while he's in Chevy Chase, the pride flags aren't going anywhere.
