The president of Iceland trolled Mike Pence over LGBTQ rights
The president of Iceland greeted Mike Pence with a handshake… and a rainbow bracelet.
On the last leg of his European tour, Pence visited Iceland’s president Guðni Jóhannesson in Reykjavík.
Jóhannesson greeted Pence with a handshake, and astute observers noticed that he had a rainbow bracelet on his wrist.

This isn’t the first time Jóhannesson has worn a rainbow bracelet when meeting a homophobic foreign leader; he wore one when he met with Russian president Vladimir Putin.

So happy there are some out there willing to make a statement, no matter how subtle...or not so subtle...

In contrast, I love the huge smile on Reykjavik's face. Also, is he perhaps squeezing Pence's hand a tad too hard?
