Vice President Mike Pence's penchant for homophobia is well-known. He advocated that funding for HIV/AIDS research be reallocated to gay conversion therapy. In 2015, he signed a religious freedom bill as Indiana governor that gave license to anti-LGBTQ discrimination. In 2019, his wife was hired to work at a Christian school forbidding LGBTQ teachers and students.
So after Pence arrived in Iceland, a stop on his European tour, one company found the perfect way to troll him.
Advania Technology Company, located across from the historic Hofdi House in Reykjavik where Pence met with Icelandic President Gudni Johannesson, replaced its company flags with colorful rainbow flags, the world symbol for LGBTQ pride.
Advania director Ægir Már Þórisson told The Iceland Monitor:
“We just felt the need to celebrate diversity today and wanted to show that by flying the flags.”
It wasn't just Albania Tech either, but several places around Reykjavik expressing rainbow resistance.
Even President Johannesson wore a rainbow bracelet.
People in Iceland and outside admired the colorful trolling of Pence.
Maybe Americans should take this up as a tradition.
