25 Reasons We Already Knew Aaron Schock Was Gay
Well, knock me over with a feather: Former GOP Rep. Aaron Schock -- who repeatedly voted against the rights of gay people while in office -- was spotted making out with a guy (or two) over the weekend at Coachella.(For a Republican, he's looking awfully Dora the Explorer in this photo.)
So as we look back at the worst-kept secret on and off Capitol Hill, we must ask ourselves:
What really outed him first?
1) His hunky blond "travel companion"
2) His daily shower with Paul Ryan
3) His famed Men's Health cover and GQ spread
4) He followed Tom Daley on Instagram
5) His poolside spread
6) His flamboyant New York Times profile
7) His sexy Scot look
8) His infamous teal belt
9) His ripped body in the Gulf of Mexico
10) His 10-year affair with Sir Elton John
11) His recent gay haircut
12) His recent workout at one of New York's gayest gyms?
13) His fanboying over Sam Smith
14) His workout with model Nick Sandell in West Hollywood
15) His friendship with swarthy stud Eliad Cohen
16) His Dorothy Hamill impersonation
17) His "Downton Abbey" office makeover
18) His gay beard in India
19) That a gay porn was made about him
20) His gay jump in Patagonia
21) His Village People impersonation
22) The Gray Lady's write-up about his Instagram account
23) This photo with a beardy hunk
24) He's friends with Arianna Huffington
or
2) His daily shower with Paul Ryan

4) He followed Tom Daley on Instagram
5) His poolside spread

or
25) His already having been outed by Itay Hod
P.S. For those who say they are disgusted by gays who "fawn" all over Miss Schock -- yours truly included -- I say this: You're totally right. There are many other hot gay men to adore, gay men who haven't done the despicable things Schock has. But in our defense, everyone loves a soap opera. And watching this dashing young congressman be a flaming closet case in plain sight was fascinating, especially at a time when being gay is acceptable in much of the country. From a blogger's point of view, it was his hypocrisy that seemed so newsworthy, but I admit it was more than that. Maybe it was remembering our own youthful struggles, Maybe it was the power and privilege of it all. What I'm eager to see now is this: Now that he's been exposed, will he finally come clean -- and will he finally apologize for the damage he's inflicted? Many people may still never forgive him -- I know I still get enraged every time I see Ken Mehlman, despite his apology and attempts to right his W(rongs) by doing pro-LGBTQ work. But it's truly the least Schock can do. And perhaps asking for forgiveness will in some way also help him heal whatever it was that allowed him to commit these disgusting transgressions against his own brothers and sisters.
