The one good thing that the world gained from the international trip of President Donald Trump, is lots of photographs. Some that became memes and some that melted our hearts. Mr. Trump was a part of NATO summit in Brussels on Thursday.
At this summit, the wives and partners of world leaders came together for a photo session. This mixture had the First Gentleman of Luxembourg, Gauthier Destenay. Gauthier is married to Xavier Bettel, the Prime Minister of Luxembourg. They have been married in 2015 when marriage equality was passed in their country. The couple were in a civil partnership from the day Bettel won as the prime minister of Luxembourg in 2013.
Destenay was present at the first wives meet with Flotus Melania Trump, First Lady of France Brigitte Macron, Queen Mathilde of Belgium, First Lady of Turkey Emine Gulbaran Erdogan, Secretary General of NATO Jens Stoltenberg’s partner Ingrid Schulerud, partner of Belgium’s Prime Minister Amelie Derbaudrenghien, partner of Bulgaria’s President Desislava Radeva, partner of Slovenia’s Prime Minister Mojca Stropnik and First Lady of Iceland Thora Margret Baldvinsdottir.
These pictures have not only gained love from the media, but also from the Tweeple who could not stop gushing at the First Gentleman in the picture.
