Although Aaron Schock gave his farewell speech to a mostly empty House of Representatives last week, tomorrow is his last day serving in the U.S. Congress. Earlier this month, he announced his resignation after a series of scandals regarding misappropriation of funds and questionable expenses put him in the spotlight.
Rep. Schock is a handsome 30-something bachelor who has been dogged by rumors that he is gay since he started serving in the US Congress in 2009. I have no idea if that is true, but I would prefer not to believe them because of how terribly he has treated the gay community; supporting (and championing) every anti-LGBT piece of legislation that has come up for a vote.
Some in the media think the gay community and gay bloggers in particular are behaving poorly by gloating at Schock’s misfortune; such as James Kirchick who wrote in the Daily Beast, Hey Gays: Leave Aaron Schock Alone. To Mr. Kirchick and others who see the LGBT community’s Schadenfreude responses as bitchy, mean or cruel, I say, “Cry me a river”. Representative Schock has reveled in every setback the gay community has suffered so I’ll be gloating all day tomorrow as he packs up his office and leaves the US Congress. For Schock’s sake I truly hope he isn’t gay because he’ll not find an ounce of sympathy from me should he come out in the future. I have only have one thing to say to Mr. Aaron Schock, “Buh-bye“.

As I read this, I cannot help but think about how many people look at me oddly when I tell them that I do not care for politics (or, as I often refer to it, “fucking politics”).
Alas, this post is yet another reason why.
Nonetheless, I fully agree with you, BosGuy: if, Gods Forbid, Aaron Schock is, indeed, a Gay Man, then he shall receive no support, no sympathy, no kindness from a large number of Gay Men, as well as Lesbians, Bisexuals, Transgender folks, and straight allies, too.

I recall several Republicans over the years. They bash us, because they do not accept who they are .

Sadly, Aaron (like so many) is self-loathing.
And the homosexuality rumors began back in his Illinois State government service.
I think that was about 170,000 miles ago!
