River 127,455 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 As Mike Pence pulled up to Höfði House in Reykjavík, he was met not only by Iceland’s president, Guðni Jóhannesson, but also a row of rainbow flags. An office block belonging to the IT company Advania opposite the historic building had changed its flags on the morning of the US vice-president’s visit. “We just felt the need to celebrate diversity today and wanted to show that by flying the flags,” Ægir Már Þórisson, the company’s director, told the Icelandic news website Monitor. Another office nearby, the headquarters for the Efling trade union, had also switched the flags on its masts for Pride ones. Pencewho describes himself as “a born-again, evangelical Catholic” has previously supported anti-LGBT policies, including opposing the repeal of a law that prevented openly gay people from serving in the US military. In his previous post as governor of Indiana, he voted against a bill banning discrimination against people based on their sexual orientation. He also became the first vice-president to speak at the openly anti-LGBT Family Research Council’s annual conference in 2018. Bloomberg’s White House correspondent, Justin Sink, pointed out on Twitter that Guðni had been wearing a rainbow bracelet in pictures showing him shaking Pence’s hand. Iceland’s first lady, Eliza Reid, also wore a rainbow bracelet for the occasion. Guðni also previously wore the bracelet to meet the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, who is a supporter of anti-LGBT laws. On Tuesday, Donald Trump said Pence could not be “anti-gay” because he had agreed to meet the Irish taoiseach, Leo Varadkar, who is gay, and his partner during an official visit to Ireland. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/sep/05/mike-pence-greeted-by-pride-flags-on-visit-to-iceland So sploosh your juice all over me you Riverboy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one showed up to meet him, he's surrounded by rainbows, and his favorite electrician is suddenly gay. It's what she deserves.

There's no extreme heat. Max temperatures are around 15-20C (60-70F) and sometimes reach 25C (77F). And in winter they are around 0C/-5C (32/23F), this in the capital, where most people live obviously. pooiota Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
