Anti-Gay Republican Congressman Dragged Out of The Closet on Facebook

Schock campaigning with Romney in Iowa

Republican congressman from Illinois Aaron Schock is the darling of the Republican party. He is anti-gay and they love it! He is against everything gay and his voting record in congress reflects that.

Schock has voted against the repeal of DOMA – the Defense of Marriage Act, he has voted against the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, he is against gay marriage and is for a federal amendment to the constitution describing marriage as between a man and a woman. So yea, Republicans love him.

Then there is this: A Facebook post outing Schock as a gay man. The post claims that Schock was caught in the shower with another man and that TMZ has followed Schock into gay bars.

here’s a hypothetical: what if you know a certain GOP congressman, let’s just say from Illinois, is gay… and you know this because one of your friends, a journalist for a reputable network, told you in no uncertain terms that he caught that GOP congressman and his male roommate in the shower… together. now they could have been good friends just trying to conserve water. but there’s more. what if this congressman has also been caught by tmz cameras trolling gay bars. now what if you know that this very same guy, the darling of the gop, has also voted against repeal of don’t ask don’t tell, opposed the repeal of doma, is against gay marriage; and for the federal marriage amendment, which would add language to the us constitution banning gay marriage and would likely strike down every gay rights law and ordinance in the country?

Are we still not allowed to out him?

let me ask another question… doesn’t the media have an OBLIGATION to expose his hypocrisy? if he had done something so hypocritical and he wasn’t gay, wouldn’t we demand journalists do their job? but they can’t… because we won’t let them. you’re not allowed to out ANYONE, we tell them.

we’ve created a situation where even though news organizations know this guy is gay, they can’t report it because he hasn’t said so on twitter.

if we keep saying that being gay is genetic; ergo, it’s no different than having blue eyes or blonde hair… than why are not allowed to mention it? why do we need anyone’s consent to talk about their sexuality? are we not allowed to say someone has blue eyes until they post a fb message telling us they are in fact blue?

we’ve been so effective at convincing everyone that outing people is a crime against humanity, that we’ve made it impossible for any network or news organization to talk about this “hypothetical” gay republican congressman and his hypocritical vote against gay rights. they won’t touch it for fear of retribution from GLAAD or HRC. (in fact when my friend’s network interviewed said hypothetical republican, he talked about wanting to find a nice woman to marry… and the network aired it… knowing it was a lie…

so, forgive me if I don’t subscribe to the notion that you’re not allowed to out anyone… in fact in some cases, i’d celebrate it. but I’m crazy that way.

At the end of the piece, the author Itay Hod shared a link to American Blog, detailing the 7 gayest Instagram pictures of Aaron Schock! Schock’s instagram account was set to “Private” after the post was written.

I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!
