The White House Omitted Luxembourg’s Gay First Gentleman From NATO Spouse Portrait

It also got the year wrong
From: NewNowNext
 Gauthier Destenay cut a dashing figure at the NATO conference in Brussels last week: The husband of Luxembourg Prime Minister Xavier Bettel, Destenay appeared with France’s Brigitte Macron, Turkey’s Emine Erdogan, Queen Mathilde of Belgium and other spouses of heads of state at a dinner at the royal castle in Laeken.


 Photo agencies like Getty Images ran photos from the event, labeling all those in attendance.

But when the White House posted its portrait on Facebook, it left Destenay out.


 “I took these screenshots myself at 6:02PM on May 27, 2017,” Gay Writes posted. “The photo has been on Facebook for seven hours. Dozens of people have commented asking for a correction. It still has not been fixed.”

The post also cites the date of the event as “May 25, 2917.” Girl, we’re all trying to fast-forward through the next few years but that’s a bit much.
