Protesters danced through the streets of the Chevy Chase neighborhood in D.C. outside of Vice President-elect Mike Pence’s rental home. The protest, dubbed “Queer Dance Party” started around 6 p.m. Wednesday night, convening at the Friendship Heights Metro station and dancing their way to the home. Protesters blasted songs by Beyoncé, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and more, dancing along the road, while waving rainbow flags and tossing glitter. “Dance is so integral to the queer community as a form of self-expression and a form of asserting our power and our beauty and our love for one another,” said Firas Nasr, 23, a protest organizer who lives in Virginia told the Washington Post.“The idea is to leave a mark that Mike Pence will never forget.” “We want to send a strong message to Pence that we’re a united queer community,” he said “We’ve always stood united. There’s always space to dance.” Residents seemed amused by the display. “I love this,” Mary Ann Carmody, 76, who lives in the neighborhood with her husband, John, 80 told the Washington Post. “I love the world. It’s wonderful to see people on the street like this. We’re lucky we can do this.” The LGBTQ+ community has voiced growing concern over Pence’s imminent role in the White House; as Governor of Indiana, he signed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act which allowed for business owners to cite their religious beliefs as a defense for denying service to individuals, such as those of LGBTQ+ identification. There was massive outcry which ultimately led to revision of legislation. The protesters were kept several blocks away from Pence’s rental house. It was unclear if he was home or aware of the event.
