Because Clearly There Is Nothing More Important To Talk About…

…let’s discuss Rep. Aaron Schock’s sexuality! Whoo hoo!
You guys remember when Daisy posted that totally hot picture of Aaron Schock over a year ago? And we all swooned? And since then we’ve posted stories about him here, and here because he’s not only a total cutie but he’s also a conservative. ANYWAY, there was all sorts of media attention on him after the bathing suit picture came out, but apparently there’s a new photo making the rounds now. It’s a photo of Aaron at a White House picnic. And it’s calling into question Aaron’s sexual preference, because OBVIOUSLY nothing is more important than whether or not he’s gay. You know.
Now, I’ll just go on the record right now and tell you that after seeing the photo, I’m convinced that Aaron Schock is either a) totally and completely gay or b) unbelievably secure with his masculinity. It’s a rare straight man who can pull off a turquoise belt with white jeans. I’m just sayin’.
Aaron was asked about this particular fashion choice, and he said, “Obviously, it was what I thought was a sporty outfit. It was probably a little too bright, in retrospect.” Sporty, he says. And a little too bright. Wow.
He tweeted about the backlash as well, saying, “Never thought a pic of me w/ my shirt on would go viral. Learned my lesson and burned the belt.”
An article at Salon.com accuses Aaron of being super homophobic, without giving any solid examples of said homophobia. Aaron has gone on record several times denying that he’s homosexual. The point I’m trying to make here, readers, is that Aaron’s gayness, or lack thereof, is apparently a HUGE DEAL.
Personally, I kinda hope he’s gay. I like gay Republicans. But I’ll be really mad at him if he is vocally anti-gay, and then is caught in a precariously gay position at some point in the future. If he’s gay, he just needs to be gay already so that everyone can stop talking about it. Including me.

Uh, yeah, bad choice of a belt. I’m glad he burned it. And hopefully the pants and shirt too.
There’s no way this guy is gay. No self-respecting gay man would EVER wear that belt (and precious few would wear that shirt) unless he was Perez Hilton, and Perez Hilton doesn’t count because he’s an idiot.
I vote not gay. But that is a kick ass outfit….for a chick….:)
This crap was started in his district by his opponents.
Who cares?
Once again the party of tolerance is as intolerant as ever.
I’m with Laurel, who cares?
Yeah, I’m with Laurel & sunnyAZ – who cares as long as he’s conservative and honest. Besides, being happily married and very much in love, I enjoy lookin’. Just because I’m on a diet doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy readin’ the menu!!
Seriously? His opponents questioning his sexuality?
I’m with you, I hope he is gay. A sharp, good looking,
gay conservative – what could be more cool???!!!
He’s conservative- that is the point!
On the one hand, people questioning this man’s sexuality have too much time on their hands.
On the other hand, THAT BELT. IS NOT. CONSERVATIVE.
Serious question though: how do conservatives feel about gay marriage? I imagine this might be an issue, which might explain why anyone would make a big deal out of… a belt?
Hummm…was this an Obama WH picknic…if yes, the question should be; is he really a conservative? Personnally, I don’t think a present day gay would be caught in his bedroom wearing that outfit let alone wearing it in public…fashion expert, not.
In regard to the drilling ban, Mr. Salazar, like his boss is a lefty of the 1st order and as such he does not give a damn who his actions hurt because he wants to put the oil companies out of business so that he and his boss can form a greater central planning agency. The courts be damned he will issue another moritorium, what hope is that the oil companies tell him what he can do with his moritorium.
The shirt appears to have…..fuschia checks. I can’t imagine that it was all that easy to find a shirt with that particular color. Plus, guys usually go to great lengths *not* to wear something with a color with a fancy name (like aubergine or chartreuse).
I’ll tell you what, though, if his intention was to get noticed, boy did he ever succeed.
A pretty savvy move, actually. One does want to be noticed and remembered, which is not easy to do when one is surrounded by politicians who also want to be noticed. If it was a contest, I say he won. I mean, look over his shoulder – the place is littered with people, but who is the one everyone is talking about. Smart (and brave and secure) man if you ask me.
Usually when a guy has poor fashion sense, it’s not displayed in such a bright and perky way as this guys ‘outfit’.
….not that there’s anything wrong with that….
You guys are mean!
Having been known to be a bit colorful myself, especially at luau’s, making a fool out of myself on the lap steel…..I think I still have a couple pink sharkskin belts somewhere.
Yep, even owned some white jeans, fushia, mauve, pink and paisley shirts 
Come on ladies…don’t you have a question for me?
@RM Can I have the sharkskin belts?
Annie K: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
See if he has the shoes to match….
Folks you would be amazed at how many ugly clothes out there for men. A lot of men think because it is on the shelf it is acceptable. Some people while seemingly smart have only taste in their mouth but not anywhere else.
Really not sure clothing is the gaydar indicator it once was. I know a lot of straight guys who wear some stuff I’d never be caught dead in for fear of being identified as gay.
On anoter note, I feel robbed of the time it took me to read this post and embarrassed that I responded.
Listen, anyone to look at other than offensive Barney Frank is okay by me. He gives homosexuality a bad name. AND where does it say all non gay conservatives have to look like a Brown Wren? I went with a Leo for 6 years, a tall Jewish Conservative (NOT an oxymoron)that wore all kinds of colorful clothes and jewelry. He was not gay but loved to dress up. He was very comfortable in being this way and people including me thought he was charming. I sometimes feel sorry for men with such limited choices and think they should be encouraged to dress outside the box.
Most Pea****s spread their colorful array to attract the fowl, not another….ahem, ****. Y’all commentators would have to wear UV shades at most outdoor events on both coasts of Florida, because of all the dazzle on display. The nightlife is even more colorful. It is not the feathers that determine orientation, but rather something that has always been and always will remain an unexplainable puzzlement.
