Socially conservative former Rep. Aaron Schock, R- Ill., was reportedly photographed at a music festival making out with another man.
During his tenure in Congress, the 37-year-old Schock voted against the repeal of "dont ask, dont tell" and voted in favor of adding a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. He received a zero rating from the Human Rights Campaign for his voting record.
Despite his socially conservative political career, Schock, who now lives in West Hollywood, was purportedly photographed with a group of gay men at California's famed Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, according to Metro Weekly, an LGBT-focused publication.

Who cares???
Why post this trash???
Lost his seat due to corruption charges, if I recall correctly - appears that personal integrity isn’t a big facet of any part of his life. And after Denny Hastert, it’s not like Illinoisans have come to expect much from their options on the Republican line.
Because it’s good for us to know what kind of Snakes in the Grass were sitting there in Congress. Nobody told us he was a homo at the time, I think it’s very relevant to know set the people who represented our interest or wide open to Blackmail at the time. And that’s why we don’t get their best efforts
He just skated from federal criminal charges.
Well, maybe things will work out for the guy ...
Half the men at the RNC are queer.
But most of the time it does.
Wasn’t there an Ed Schrock from Virginia like this?
Representing the will of his constituents over his own personal proclivities?
How dare he!
That is absolutely unacceptable for a member of the modern American Political Aristocrat Class.
The author Zachary has never hear of Log Cabin Republicans?
I don’t care if they snort Plutonium so long as they vote the right way.
Lives in West Hollywood and they are surprised. Right
And Bill Clinton gave us “don’t ask don’t tell”, bet he didn’t get a zero rating from Homofascist Rights Scampaign.
How about Hillary’s opposition to same sex marriage in 2008?
I disagree. The Republicans who campaign as conservatives embracing strong family values have to be held to that standard. Hypocrisy is one of the traits we cannot tolerate.

So what? Cant same-sex attracted people still support natural marriage and military cohesiveness?
I’m okay with all of that, as long as the pols don’t lie about their personal lives in the campaign. One can’t help but suspect that a lot of those who betray us are keeping secrets.
Big deal...I wouldn’t care if he was seen in public kissing a space alien. It isn’t my concern. He is an ex-congressman.
Schock being gay was an open secret.
And he didn’t just make out with the guy. He was photographed with his hands down the front of the guy’s pants, which is not really appropriate behavior in front of a crowd.
