A House Democrat said she’s received an outpouring of support since she hung a transgender pride flag outside her Capitol office.

Virginia Rep. Jennifer Wexton, who was elected in November, hung the pink, blue, and white flag in the Longworth House Office Building next to an American flag and the Virginia state flag. Lawmakers traditionally display the American and state flags, but can choose whatever flags they want.
