<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nikos Giannopoulos honored the LGBTQ community when he visited the White House. Gay teacher Nikos Giannopoulos\u2019 displayed his LGBTQ pride as he sported a rainbow pin and clutched a lacy fan in an official photo with President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump. And now the Rhode Island teacher of the year\u2019s bold stand for LGBTQ rights has gotten global attention after the image went viral on Facebook.<\/p>\n
Giannopoulos, who teaches 11th and 12th graders at Beacon Charter High School for the Arts in Woonsocket, visited the White House with other teacher of the year winners in April. He received the photo of his moment with Trump this week and immediately posted it to Facebook.<\/p>\n
Trump has previously pledged to protect LGBTQ citizens but members of the community have expressed concern that his administration is rolling back their civil rights in areas such as education. Giannopoulos said he wore the pin \u201cto represent my gratitude for the LGBTQ community that has taught me to be proud, bold, and empowered by my identity, even when circumstances make that difficult.\u201d He brought the fan that day to \u201ccelebrate the joy and freedom of gender nonconformity.\u201d \u201cWhen I met the president as Rhode Island\u2019s state teacher of the year, I did not know what to expect,\u201d he wrote in the Facebook post. \u201cAfter a lengthy security process, we were welcomed into the Roosevelt Room where we each met Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos. Shortly thereafter, we walked into the Oval Office.<\/p>\n
The man seated at the desk read prepared remarks from a sheet of paper and made some comments about CEOs and which states he \u2018loved,\u2019 based on electoral votes that he had secured. He did not rise from his seat to present the national teacher of the year with her much-deserved award, nor did he allow her to speak.\u201d He wanted to speak to the president, but none of the teachers got the chance. The teacher had wanted to tell Trump that \u201cqueer lives matter and anti-LGBTQ policies have a body count.\u201d He also wanted to tell the president how the LGBTQ community is hurt by \u2018politicians callously attacking our right to love or merely exist,\u201d Giannopoulos added. But he revealed to NPR that Trump was happy for him to pose with the fan for the official photo. \u201cAbsolutely go for it,\u201d he recalled the president saying. Trump said that he looked \u201cvery stylish\u201d with his fan as the teachers gathered around the president. Giannopoulos also said when he thinks of the day he met the president, he \u201cwill not remember the person seated at the desk.\u201d He\u2019ll remember the students he has taught and the other teachers with him that day, Giannopoulos added, including one who presented Trump with letters from her refugee student, \u201cpleading with him to hear their voices.\u201d<\/p>\n
Body Language Is Everything When You Want To Know What Someone Is Really Thinking <\/b><\/p>\nSusan Z\u2019s Conclusion:<\/h2>\n
Well they say a picture is worth a thousand words and this one takes the cake. If Trump could have been more uncomfortable, it is unlikely. Hooray for Nikos for making a statement without a single word spoken as it was obvious Trump was unlikely to speak to anyone there as they were not of any consequence to him.<\/p>\n
The Hanged Man:<\/b>
\nThis is about victim energies and surrendering the past. I believe this card fully shows Nikos attitude standing next to the president and turning the photo-op to his advantage.<\/p>\n
Queen of Cups:<\/b> Inverted (Upside Down)
\nThis is a sensitive woman who has empathic abilities. Since inverted, I am going to stick my neck out here and say this is Melania. I believe she has to turn a blind eye to many things Trump says and does that is not in her beliefs. But the pay is good!<\/p>\n
Six of Swords: <\/b>
\nThis is a card of spiritual awakening and enlightenment. I do not believe this is Trump we are talking about here but the general populace seeing the picture.<\/p>\n
