Nikos Giannopoulos stood over the right shoulder of President Trump, splayed a black-lace hand fan, tilted his head and gave the camera a self-satisfied stare.

Instant Internet gold.

Giannopoulos's photo with the president and first lady Melania Trump in the Oval Office became a viral sensation once it was posted online, catapulting the teacher into stardom.

And don't think he isn't using it for political gains for LGBT.

A teacher’s decision to be ‘visibly queer’ in his photo with President Trump

And yet, the teacher acknowledged, there was a certain social significance in his decision to dress as himself to a White House that has revoked federal protections for transgender students, erased an LGBT rights page from its website and hired at least one adviser who appears to believe in gay conversion.

I wondered if he was trying to make a statement or just stupid.

Definitely was.  Taking full advantage as shown in the second article.  I am so tired of this.

Those identify solely by their sexuality are mentally ill...these types who persistently "advertise" their brand are sick in the head...

Looks like mere faggotry wins you teacher of the year.

The 29-year-old teacher’s work with the school’s gay-straight alliance helped win him the award.

Yeah. There have always been gay teachers and gays in the military. It became an issue when they needed to flaunt the issue as central to all our lives.

A year or so back I was reading an article on how to achieve success as a photographer. It basically said to be gay, hang around with gay people and photograph gay people doing gay things. The article went on to brag about the left controlling the artistic culture in this country for 50 years so everyone else can be ignored. In the discussion that followed there were admissions that there were some really great conservative artists but they must not be allowed to succeed because their conservative influences might grow. Basically they said that they didn't care how good someone was as long as the doctrine was upheld.

The highest price ever paid for a photograph was around 4 million dollars for this Andreas Gursky (Heavily photoshopped) photo. Critics fawned over it because Gursky said it symbolized the shackles mankind has placed on the wild and free rivers of the world.



That kind of thinking is now infecting science, medicine, and technology and its dangerous. Just imagine if Jonas Salk were creating a Polio vaccine today and was overheard making a comment about nature not allowing gays to reproduce. The left would have to destroy him and his research while condemning generations more to Polio.

He was there for recognition in his job, not lifestyle.  My biggest problem with things like this is the insistence by the community they're just like everyone else and shouldn't be labeled, but insist on making their sexuality an issue at every opportunity.

Gays rebel against nature and most of them want everyone in the world to know it as that is part of rebelling - force others to acknowledge them.  When they parade, many are barely clothed, which is saying "Look at me, my genitals are my life."  They either want to use the genitals they have in an unnatural way or they don't like the the genitals they have and want a different one.  Either way, they rebelling against nature.  They will also surround themselves with gay colors to again show that rebellion.  There is a member of this family who does this, except for being scantily dressed in the parades she goes to.  If she did that, she would lose her job, but she does dress in gay colors in parades.  Her Facebook page has gay colors on it.   Her Facebook page was normal until the Supreme Court recognized gay marriage.  Almost instantly after that decision, gay colors were on her Facebook and she made a fast trip, along with another woman, to New York to get in that gay parade celebrating that court decision.  Seeing the White House lit up outside in gay colors that night, was disgusting to see.

That decision was the beginning of a vast movement on their part.  They were now legitimate and we see the outcome of that, Gay Pride Week, children saying they are a boy or a girl when they are not, dressing as the other gender and we have the bathroom problem with men and boys wanting in women's bathrooms.  We now have LBGT week in our schools.  Their rebellion keeps going.  This country has become Sodom.  Maybe we straight people should wear a pin that says, "Straight".  We are so normal, we don't think of showing others we are normal.  If I had children now, they would be in a church school instead of abnormal public schools we now have. 

I was an associate School Psychologist.  I could not do that now.  If a parent came to me with her/his elementary school child, telling me the child was a different gender, I would likely pitch them out of my office.

I tend to just ignore them. My oath doesn't come with exceptions for people I disapprove of, so not a whole lot of choice there.

Photo-ops like this 'don't just happen'. This wasn't someone who happened to walk up behind the President and pop out a fan. This was staged, planned, and posed. Everyone there would have known exactly how it was going to turn out. If it didn't turn out the way they wanted, they would have another take. The reality is a photographer would probably shoot 4-5 shots, often rapidly, and in some cases before he tells the participants they are ready just to capture the right moment. This is the image all parties chose to release.

IE, the President's staff thought the same thing as you- this is good for him.

Staff tried to tell him to put it away but he asked Trump and Trump said go for it.  It appears that our country is going forward further and further to accommodate, promote and celebrate immorality.

I wonder how Evangelicals will react when they realize that they sold out to the agenda?  I don't know what they think they got in return for this.

Money.   That's what they usually focus on.... getting those donations!  In this case, it was their meme du jour of "God picked Trump to save America".  So donating to us is doing God's will since we back Trump.

I find it sort of weird for supposedly straight people, to be obsessed with homosexuality.

I think it was money.  Sad considering I admire the Franklin ministries.  They do good work in the world.  It really threw me when they promoted Trump.  You could find interviews and news stories all day that indicated what kind of man Trump was.  And somehow we were supposed to believe somehow miraculously he had changed his spots.  Not that God cannot do it.  He absolutely can transform anyone's life.  No question.  But I don't vote for someone who I have not seen the good fruit from.

I am glad I did not vote for Trump.  My hands are washed.

Something I noticed when young was that some things didn't cross my mind until brought to my attention. Homosexuality was one of those things and that is now brought to my attention daily.

Things that used to be sideshows to the news are now the news. The economy? War? Terrorism? Don't bother me with that, I see that Lindsay Lohan has done something.
