Aaron Schock

Schock must be the most openly gay closeted guy around . but it seems like the idiots in his district don't care or ignore what he does as long as he continues with the anti gay votes.


<The latest headache involves an official trip to India last summer accompanied by a photographer and videographer named Jonathon Link (pictured below) whose travel expenses were covered by The Global Poverty Project.

House Rules only allow for private money to cover a staffer, wife or child. Link was not on Schock's payroll until last September, a month after the India trip.

In January 2014, journalist Itay Hod went public with a story that a journalist friend of his in Washington DC had come home one day and caught his roommate, who is gay, coming out of the shower with Schock.

Hod said at the time that he went public because of Schock's anti-gay voting record.

'He was against the repeal of DOMA, the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell, he was against the inclusion of gays and transgenders to the hate crimes bill which, to me, is the worst thing you can do. Even if you're not gay I think that's something you should be in favor of. He's also against gay marriage.' >

A gay man would have more fashion sense than to wear those ugly shoes with dark pants and a blue plaid jacket.
