Vice President Mike Pence's neighbors have a very clear message for him. They hung up a rainbow banner with the words "Make America Gay Again" written in white letters at the end of their shared driveway, according to The Aspen Times.

The sign is a play off of Donald Trump's campaign slogan, "Make America Great Again." Pence and his wife, Karen Sue, are celebrating the new year in Aspen. The residents of the neighboring home emailed The Aspen Times with a comment about the whole thing.

"(The banners) were actually hung by the daughters of the couple who live in the home, and one of their girlfriends (I'm one of them!) with the full support of their parents," Shannon Slade wrote in an email. The sign is still there, and it doesn't look like it's going anywhere.
