Virginia congresswoman brings transgender pride flag to the Hill
I started my morning with a meeting with my staff and then had an interview with @WDVMTV about #VA10, the shutdown, and my priorities in the 116th Congress. It’s an historic and exciting day! #WextonGoesToWashingtonpic.twitter.com/jNsRJ5wNU5
The trans flag is proudly & openly displayed next to the Virginia flag outside @RepWexton’s new office! She said to me, “Did you see the flag?! I think we’re the only office on the Hill with one.” To all her volunteers: the flag is there because of you & for you! Change is here!pic.twitter.com/s0iGgoxOgH
I’m obviously not on the Hill today but this would 100% make me cry. And I can confirm she’s the first one to display it on the Hill.https://www.washingtonian.com/2019/01/03/why-virginia-representative-jennifer-wexton-hangs-the-transgender-pride-flag-outside-her-office/ …

“The trans community has been under attack,” Wexton, who is aunt to a transgender child, tells Washingtonian. “I wanted to show my solidarity because we are talking about my friends and family.”

there are a lot of remarkable things about today, but seeing this trans flag flying proudly outside jennifer wexton's office is quite possibly the highlight.
