For a gay man, Aaron Schock sucks at throwing shade.
Conservatives have been freaking out ever since Vice President Kamala Harris said her pronouns are “she/her” during a meeting yesterday with disability advocates to discuss the impact of Roe v. Wade being overturned.
Politics, but make it gay!
Stay woke with our briefing while staying informed on all things LGBTQ+ entertainment, life, and more!
Harris kicked off the meeting, which was held on the 32nd anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, by saying her pronouns and providing a physical description of herself out of respect to those with impaired vision.

“I want to welcome these leaders for coming in to have this very important discussion about some of the most pressing issues of our time,” she introduced. “I am Kamala Harris, my pronouns are ‘she’ and ‘her.’ I am a woman sitting at the table wearing a blue suit.”
We think it’s great the VP began the meeting in such a welcoming and inclusive way. It prompted others at the table to also introduce themselves with pronouns and a physical description. That’s called leadership!

But not everyone thought so, unfortunately. Among those trolling Harris over the last 24 hours was none other than the disgraced ex-GOP Representative from Illinois.
The 41-year-old took to Instagram Stories to share a clip of her opening remarks at yesterday’s meeting, along with a crappy attempt at throwing shade: “This opener could have been written by Saturday night live [sic]… Imagine Russia, China, or any serious leader watching this.”
On the contrary, we could see a lot of other “serious leaders” watching this and following suit. Maybe not dictators like Vladimir Putin or Xi Jinping, but plenty of others who strive to create a better, more kind, more inclusive world.

Schock came out publicly as gay in March 2020, in a lengthy post published to Instagram in which he talked about his story of growing up in a religiously conservative family and rationalized his opposition to same-sex marriage while he was the Representative for Illinois’s 18th congressional district.

During the height of the pandemic, he was spotted several times ignoring safety protocols, partying with a gaggle of Instagays in Cabo San Lucas, allegedly dancing maskless in Brazil on New Year’s Eve, and lounging on the beach in his swim trunks with Israeli actor Eliad Cohen.

Suffice to say…

Aaron Schmuck needs to be cancelled and Queerty needs to stop giving this loser a platform
G-Man
I totally agree, he is one of the most vile and disgusting gays I have ever seen. By the way he still owes the gay community a big apology for his actions while in office, not that anyone would accept it. Can’t imagine why people still hang out with the twat I am a firm believer that if you’re ugly on the inside you’re ugly on the outside. He’s pretty damn ugly!
MrGoldman
Not a platform. Just letting people know that this piece of crap closet case worked against gay right for years. As a result, he does not deserve to lead a quiet and private life.

Kamala Harris has very little support from Democrats. If Joe, uh, becomes no longer president and she takes over, or if she runs in 2024, both scenarios would be disastrous.
The pronouns thing is not appealing to most Americans. Rather than she/her-ing herself, she should get some real accomplishments done or stand aside for a more qualified politician, of which there are many. There’s a reason nobody voted for her in the primaries.
Also, big picture, Aaron Shock does not deserve the loathing piled upon him by this website and commenters on it. Liz Cheney has done far more to obstruct marriage equality. Let the man be hot and party with his friends! If you’re jealous of him, you can join a gym.
abfab
Um, yeah. He deserves the loathing. Wake up.
thebaddestbabby

Cam
What a shock, the right wing troll comes in here to defend the self hating bigot who voted against civil rights for LGBTQ people, and to attack the Black woman in a position of power.
As always, your trolling is sad and weak.
thebaddestbabby
I’m not a right-wing troll. I have only ever voted Democrat, and I’ve voted in every single election since I turned 18, uh, months that is (I’m a babby) — local, state, and federal.
It is a fact (remember those?) that Kamala was unpopular when she ran for president. That is why she dropped out before 2020 even began. Besides, Kamala Harris is far from the only Black woman in a position of power. She would make a colossally bad presidential candidate. Most people agree with me, a babby.
I say this because the Democrats NEED to win in the mid-terms and in 2024. Stop bitching about Aaron Shock, he has no power and is politically irrelevant. Focus on the future. If you don’t, the world will become worse for me and other babbies.
LumpyPillows
You got a few things wrong:
1. Kamala Harris had a lot of support and still does. Polls are imperfect snippets of instances in time that can and do change. You knobs on the right have done your typical hatchet job on Kamala. 99% of it lies and exaggerations. I’ll give you credit, your lies torpedoed Hillary.
2. Most Americans dislike alternative pronouns and are not upset with he/him/she/her. This reflects an understanding that trans people exist.
3. Aaron would be best served not getting involved with politics forever going forward – he does not have the aptitude for it.
4. Liz Cheney has educated herself and changed her position on gay marriage, something Aaron hasn’t done.
DK
The big picture lol is Aaron Schock defrauding taxpayers appealing to most Americans? How about Aaron Schock lying for years about his sexuality while voting against gay rights and refusing to apologize for it? Is that appealing to most Americans? How about Aaron Schock misusing campaign donations for tacky Downton Abbey office decorations and paying his boytoy “photographer” staffer? Does that appeal to most Americans?
Get real. Kamala Harris is historic figure. Schock is a gaymous joke. There’s a reason he resigned from Congress in disgrace.
As to being jealous of him, it’s funny how basic Americccan Instagays are legends in their own minds, but nobody with taste or self-respect is jealous of butterface Aaron Schock. No amount of gym can fix that face lol. Schock looks fifteen years older than he is with his leathery Botox skin, bad fake tan, and leathery steroid body.
Anybody who finds washed up, desperate-to-look-young-and-failing Aaron Schock and his personality-free friends “hot” is either blind or so poorly traveled they mistake 5s for 10s. He may pass for “hot” among the tools who dominate American gay social media, but the normals know better. Any average gay dude off the street in Berlin, Madrid, or Prague is 100x sexier than Schock and the vapid phonies who hang out with him.
Gaykk “influencers” and antivaxxer gay-for-basics pretending to be his friend because he pays for the hotel and airfare and drinks/chems is cute, but people with real friends (and real attractiveness) aren’t jealous of any of the boring, untalented, lame, shallow whyteboys in Schock’s orbit — who have nothing to offer but cheesy, overcurated Instagram fakeness and duckface selfies. Talk about misplaced confidence lol
You tried it tho.
thebaddestbabby
I said “let him be hot.” I did not say that I found him hot (I do not). Being hot is not objective, it’s an attitude or comportment. In and of itself, this shift away from rigid beauty standards is liberating for millions of people.

I know that not one person has ordered your crappy steaks junior and that you have a lot of time to post insane ravings because the freezer is still full of the green steaks you and kim gargoyle are pushing but really? do you think one person here thinks youre anything but a dick-head?
shouldn’t you be spending time with your kids? remember them?
Toofie
Gay guy in closet in a position of power voting against gay rights deserves all the negativity coming to him. He’s never apologized for his actions, so screw him. People like him (and Lindsay Graham) are the worst.
Velvetalex
You’re not intelligent. Please stop.
Doug
I’m a Democrat and I support Harris.
Not surprising to see why her presentation got a reaction from Schock after he hid in the closet and voted against gay rights for as long as he did. Then he expected us all to laud him and welcome him to the community while he chased after guys at circuit parties.
Kangol2
Thebaddestbooboo, Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom lead in polls among Democrats for 2024. Please, don’t just pull stats out of your tuches, but instead look things up.
Second, Vice President was being respectful towards these disability activists. They were happy with what she had to say. “Most Americans” may not like it, as you claim, based on nothing, but for the audience to whom she was speaking, her comments were appropriate and appreciated. Again, look it up.
Lastly, Aaron Shock is a gay right-winger who actively worked against LGBTQ people yet has benefited, like a parasite, from every battle gay people ON THE LEFT have fought for and succeeded in. He is absolutely disgusting and worthy of the harshest criticism, especially since his parasitical @ss has yet to apologize or atone for his actions in Congress. He has zilch to do with Liz Cheney, who is a comnpletely different can of worms!
csong80
There is so much wrong with this response…above all, “if you’re jealous of him, you can join a gym.” This is the most ad-hominem thing I’ve ever read on this site. You insist that we’re angry because we’re jealous (and of what I’m not sure, given he has a terrible personality and is a narcissist); we’re angry because he’s a POS human being who lounges around because he benefits from all the hard work gay activists have done for decades to make sure people like him can walk around safely. We’re not jealous of him whatsoever. He’s a crappy human being and hypocrite. It’s crazy how when we dislike someone for being a bad person it means we’re ‘jealous’ of them…sheesh
abfab
Aaron, go sit on Madison’s lap. It will make you both happy.
Mister P
Cheney did come around and vote for The Respect for Marriage Act. Aaron is apparently crying about manners and using preferred pronouns.
MrGoldman
Years and years passed, and then only after her own sister refused to have anything to do with her. I have to look at Cheney with a HARD side eye since her vote was only about maintaining happiness within her won family. She could have cared less about other gay people.
Cam
Typical Republican, worried about what Russia and China would think rather than thinking of America.
ZzBomb
Aaron Schock needs to be yeeted off a balcony. He’s complete and utter garbage.
thebaddestbabby
You want him to be… killed? That makes a babby sad
Fahd
Aaron Shock should be doing charitable work and taking other steps to overcome his past and redeem himself. If the VP wants to introduce herself with announcing her pronouns and describing herself , especially in a meeting that includes people with disabilities, that is her business. Disgraced traitor-to-the-gay-community, self-hating Shock’s opinion on this or any important matter is not newsworthy to me.
Just.my.opinion
Does anyone, anyone at all, give a rat’s ass about Aaron Schock?
LumpyPillows
He is a person of interest. Do I support him? No. Could he salvage his reputation? Unlikely. If this is an example, very much no.
winemaker
Wasn’t ‘heels up’ harris the one who is and was unqualified for the positions she got and screwed her way to the top, first with willie brown and then countless others to get what she wants regardless of the consequences and who she hurts? She was unpopular with women voters as she used her twat to get ahead instead of brains. Yeah she’s the one. To those in San Francisco where ‘heels up got her start as one of the cities most corrupt district attorneys who chose who she would prosecute and let other slide and then to other high ranking positions in California despite being unqualified other than she was a woman of color and not experience, isn’t about time to remember these so called leaders who do ZIPPO for us other than pander to us when elections come around and then give crumbs? Why the gay community continues to vote for and accept crap like this beguiles me and many others, gay and straight. Who in their right mind voted for this ineffective and oafish clown? God help us!
LumpyPillows
You are pretty toxic.
DK
Right, because “the gay community” definitely needs lectures about voting from a bunch of fascist radical right extremist bigots who smear gays as groomers while worshiping trafficking insurrectionist antigay p e d o s like Matt Gaetz, Gym Jordan, and Donald Trump: an obese and corrupt patholgical lying whyte supremacist who wanted to bang his own daughter, cheated on his illegal immigrant mail order bride wife with porn stars he paid off, wrote love letters to communist North Korea, caused mass death and record unemployment with his coronavirus lies and incompetence, incited the deadly Jan 6 QAnon #MAGATerrorist attack to destroy democracy, colluded with Russian cyberwar, mocked a disabled reporter, and launched his toxic political career with racist birther lies.
Crumbs = Biden, Harris and Democrats codifyimg gay marriage into law, the biggest gun reform in 30 years, the biggest infrastructure bill ever, stimulus checks, defeating COVID despite stupid right wing antivaxxer bs, and ending the endiess Afghan war. Let’s take lectures about who to vote for from the Rethugliklan Party that hates and kills gays while cutting taxes for billionaires and forcing 10 year old rape victims to birth their attackers’ offspring. Conservatives have done sooooo much for gays and America.
Congratulations: you’re a moron. And exactly why Trump lost.
Jami Stardust
Why talk about unproven racist conservative MAGA lies. I’d tell what I think, but I’m a lady.
Cam
Hi Mario, BarryM, etc….
We get it, your desperation is to deflect from the fact that Republicans are bigots and sexists. And to try to deflect from that you…..repeat lies and attack a Black woman in a position of authority.
I love how you literally can’t do a decent job trolling even when it would be easy. Your trolling is not just sad and weak…it’s so bad it’s fun to watch you flail.

Your toxic put downs, misogyny and nasty comments are the only thing anyone took from this tirade. Congratulations you are a troll. If you are a winemaker, maybe stop at 1 bottle and go to bed instead of staying up late in the tasting room being a keyboard warrior. You are the people we are fighting against, not the Vice President.

Why are we still covering this washed-up butterface and his boring, shallow friends?

The foolish pronoun thing needs to stop, it is just foolish.

The foolish Rethuglikkklan thing needs to stop. It is just foolish.

I’m with Arron on this one. Preferred pronouns are world stage clown show rediculous. Canned laughter should have been added to her pronoun comment. Makes me think “how to lose the senate majority in one easy sentence”.
DK
Herschel Walker, Blake Masters, Ron Johnson, Dr Oz, JD Vance = how to not win the Senate majority in 5 crappy, unqualified, radical right extremist candidates.

Hey Dippy. We know how you feel about what people prefer, etc. You’ve said it a thousand times…at least.

What a shock, another name for the same old right wing troll agrees with Aaron Schock.
Brian
Not a diplomat. Just a troll. Actual diplomats understand that sometimes you do change your behavior or words in different situations — considering the leaders, the audience, their ages, their cultures, their native languages, etc.
Describing things to blind people is fine. Y’all are just ignorant. I’ll bet you spend exactly zero time around crowds that diverse.
Also, showing people respect at the *start* of a meeting is a great way to convince them to listen to you and agree with you. It’s a strategy. Real diplomats know this!
Diplomat
Brian,
Effective diplomats don’t throw turds in the punch bowl as their opening line of a speech by agreeing with irrational evisceration of the English language along with the lemmings who follow it. I’m just not one of them. I’m don’t do PC for wing nuts.
And for the record I can’t stand Arron Shock. That doesn’t mean he never has a relevant clear thought from time to time.
LumpyPillows
One can not be a fan of pronouns, but the way Aaron chose to do this was buffoonish. Especially with history and easy to ridicule present.
Kangol2
She was showing RESPECT to the people she was speaking to and they were quite happy with her comments. You might not like it but they did, so get TF over it!
Also, if you think “pronouns” is the reason the Democrats might lose their bare Senate (50+VP) majority, you are clueless. A better question to ask is this: Why are so many White voters so fixated on pronouns that they’d vote for the GQP, which has zero programs to help working and middle class Americans; has tanked the US economy repeatedly (HW Bush, W Bush, Don the Con); is rabidly attacking LGBTQ people, immigrants (even though their ancestors were immigrants and not all of them legal), the poor, etc.; and essentially funnels most of our tax dollars to billionaires, multimillionaires & US corporations? Why do they keep voting for a party that GUTS this country and attacks other Americans? Why are they fixated on flooding this country with guns, doing zilch about the climate horror we’re facing, and pouring ever more money into the pockets of people who don’t need it? How many more climate disasters, outsourcing disasters, and economic collapses do we have to face before these voters wake up? Is the White supremacy that Don the Con sold that much more valuable than better lives for all Americans?

His homosexuality appears on GPS, gurl!
eidolonnyc
Democrats are going to “include” ourselves into oblivion. It’s beyond ridiculous, all this virtue signalling which does nothing but put off the voters we need to win. We’ve won tons of elections without pronouns or describing what we’re wearing for the visually impaired. It is beyond self-defeating, no matter how “well-intentioned” it may be.
Cam
Sweetie, if you’re trying to pretend you’re not a right winger, you may want to not use Fox News terms like “Virtue Signaling”. You trolls are so pathetic at this, you don’t even know how easily you give away the fact that you’re bigoted right wingers.
Diplomat
Cam.
Hey. Twerp. Just bc you can’t get that over sized butt plug out of your ass doesn’t mean you have to spew bs on the whole world. You should look at all your texts and then reflect on how negative you are. Talk about “sad and weak” .
LumpyPillows
Eidolonnyc has point. I’d prefer we thought seriously about this more than we have. I do see this as support for trans people, which I think is good. Was it the best place to do it? Not sure.
Cam has issues. He has passion, but I fear he’s teetering on a dangerous mental edge.
Diplomat
I’ve agreed with this for ages. It’s been that long that we’ve muddied gay and bi identities. The question is, why do we go along with it just bc the media pushes it?
Kangol2
Blah blah “virtue signaling.” Please, find new terms other than the right-wing Breitbart/FoxNews/Newsmax crew uses! It’s tiresome. Once upon a time it was “poiltical correctness,” now it’s “cancel culture.” Next you’ll be calling people cucks, etc. Pronoun usage is about respect for others. If you don’t want to do it, DON’T do it! That’s up to you. If you’re a man and you get called “miss” or “she,” don’t complain either. And additionally, if “inclusion” is a problem for you, just ask yourself whether LGBTQ should be “included” into the larger fabric of this society which we have helped build and create and transform. The answer should, without question, but some of you girls seem not to want to include everybody. The door need not close because you passed through it.
Jami Stardust
I just want to point out that some of us need to tell people our pronouns so we don’t get misgendered. I trust that the transphobes won’t attack me for pointing this out. When you make it a common way of introduction, then it isn’t just trans people who use it. It makes life safer for me and other trans people. I did this for the people who don’t understand the “why” and call the practice “stupid”. They don’t have to put their lives in danger when they leave their houses.
Diplomat
Jami Stardust,
You put your life in more danger by using they them in the singular. Maybe you might explain why you and yours do this as it certainly hurts your credibility.
LumpyPillows
Truth.
Diplomat
And why is it that you and yours duck and run when asked that question? Come to the table please.
LeBlevsez
Dip and Lumpy –
‘They’ as a singular has existed longer than the mechanical printing press. The singular ‘they’ was used in formal discourse until sometime in the late 1800s. It’s baaack. And a couple (at least) of the new pronouns y’all hate so much will make their way into common usage. Maybe put a little effort into keeping up?
Let me know if I can help you with ‘who’ vs ‘whom’.
MrGoldman
I agree that you should state if your gender is ambiguous and it is important to you. I have had it occur a few times on zoom calls. It seemed awkward, as the persons stating pronouns were not ambiguous. It will never take on a natural conversation opener. In 99% of cases, there is almost no need to use pronouns when you are with that person in a group. Having said all of that, I would respect any pronoun that someone prefers. Just pointing out that it seems forced and that will not ultimately catch on.
Kangol2
Tell it, Jami! It’s basic respect. The very gay and bi people who refuse to accept your truth get outraged–or maybe they don’t–when straight oppressors erase them. It’s perverse and hypocritical but they’re telling all of us who they really are.
Eternal.Cowboy
I had forgotten this clown exists. He should go back to doing serious world leader shit like jerking off guys at Coachella.
Cam
Wow, somebody mentioning her pronouns so enraged the troll account in came in with about 5 screenames to freak out about it.
The idea that trans people exist freaks you out so much I would be willing to bet your rage is actually jealousy that they are doing what you want to do but are afraid to.
You’re no different from the closeted gay guy or lesbian who calls other people homophobic names.
Phillip
Wasn’t being a Republican a big enough mistake for a closeted gay man?
Now you are trying to take on the VPOTUS? You aren’t smart enough first of all and you have enough problems of your own for having to leave the House of Representatives.
If I were you, I would continue your new life as a gay beach bum and stay silent. No one is interested in what you have to say.

This is a stupid article. He didn’t “completely humiliate himself,” he said something stupid. Yellow journalism at its worst. And who TF cares what he says?

Every time he opens his mouth to say something, he completely humiliates himself. We care because we are interested in human behavior. It’s fascinating. Unlike you.

I am sick of this pro-noun stupidity. I ignore it. GOP messes with language control enough. Kamala Harris does NOT have support among my circle of friends and relatives who are quite progressive and diverse. Maybe the D.C. establishment but not voters care for her to run. We also do not want Biden. The Democratic party has no one exciting, no one strong. Democrats are weak and namby pamby. Trump investigations will come to nothing. I am sad because I am a 60s fight the power dude.
thebaddestbabby
I am a young person (babby) and feel very similarly.
DK
A 60s fight the power dude = past the sell-by date and hopelessly out of touch. Kamala Harris doesn’t have support among old white men who are sick of “pronoun stupidity,” what a shock said no one ever.

Imagine a world leader watching him decorate his office like Downton Abbey…or posing on magazine covers…or not writing substantive legislation.
