Aaron Schock was once again spotted shirtless at a queer underground warehouse party over the weekend, laughing joyously with his arms wrapped around another dude, but somehow we’ve lost the ability to feel scandalized by it.
According to a tweet by Jonnie Reinhart, the drag queen who allegedly confronted the disgraced lawmaker at another gay bar last month, 38-year-old Schock was at Ostbahnhof on Saturday night in Los Angeles.

The party, themed Scream Kweens, was hosted by comic Joel Kim Booster, who later tweeted: “Aaron Schock at the Carrie-themed warehouse party is… immersive theatre!!”

In a follow up tweet, Reinhart claims he confronted Schock at the party: “I said hi to him! I told him we’re waiting on his statement. And I said I hope he’s having a great night. I told him I hope he sucks a d*ck tonight… and Happy Halloween. My blood is f*cking boiling.”
I said hi to him! I told him we’re waiting on his statement. And I said I hope he’s having a great night. I told him I hope he sucks a dick tonight… and Happy Halloween. My blood is fucking boiling. https://t.co/bu25smsLrU

Just like the last time, however, Reinhart offers no actual evidence of his alleged face-to-face confrontation with Schock, other than his word. And Schock hasn’t said anything about it either, though that’s no surprise.
Over the summer, an alleged text exchange between Schock and another man surfaced online in which he addressed his antigay voting record from over a decade ago, explaining: “We each have our own journey. Obviously I hadn’t come to terms with my sexuality 11 years ago when those votes were cast.”
He continued by saying he “plans to speak” about everything eventually, but “right now I’m dealing with my family who I was in the process of coming out to when the Coachella video went viral. Not exactly how you want your mom to find out.”

Too many vicious, self righteous, hateful people in the world today! It’s not ok to bully people , even those that think differently than me!
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
There is a HUGE difference between “thinking different” and causing deliberate harm (while undoubtedly knowing he was a Gay man) to the Gay community as a member of Congress. How’s about you take your troll posts and infect some other site??
Cam
Notice how the right wing troll accounts always seem to pop into the first comment whenever there’s a story about Schock?
Back to your comment Troll. How interesting that you don’t see Schock attacking the entire LGBT community and voting to harm us and strip away our civil rights as bullying, yet you see pointing that out to him as “Bullying”.
We get it, you only defend people who attack LGBTs
Doug
… and Aaron Schock was one of those “vicious, self righteous, hateful people.” Karma has a tendency to come back around, and his entitled ass is doing everything he can to ignore it. No sympathy whatsoever for this creep. The longer he goes to gay events and doesn’t bother to address it, the more of a crumb he is.

Every day there are thousands of press releases sent out. It is hard for a publication like Queerity to get noticed. Because of this you want to grab as much information as you can . So having a former anti-gay congressman named Aaron Schock who happens to have a “buff” body, and handsome face , and likes to go shirtless to various queer parties with other “hot” guys gets queerity free press coverage, and people talking. Which helps the paper make a huge long-term difference in ad sales.

I’m just here to see people read you for your stupid comment.

Internalized homophobia
Nedra
It is people like you who continue to put the lives of vulnerable gay people in harm’s way. It is one thing to have negative feelings toward a gay person, but it is another thing when you target a gay person and utter your negative words, which drive that gay person to a state of depression, self-harm and suicide. Aaron Schock was worse than that person who uttered abusive words, he was the one who gave them the power to do so.
In a perfect world, Aaron and all his [gay] associates would be shunned until he repents! But if we have gay people supporting the Republican Party despite its anti-gay agenda, then I am not surprised how Aaron is able to have his cakes and eat them too.
Brian
Why would we be scandalized by this? We all know he’s gay. We all know he’s vapid. We all know he likes to surround himself with vapid, shirtless, white Instagays. There is nothing new or newsworthy happening here.
Vince
I doubt any of the ones there even know who he is. Back in my circuit days the extent of my political knowledge was knowing Bill Clinton was president and that was it. Caring about Politics was for old people. I had other more important priorities like working out so I could fit in better and getting cool party invites.
Cam
So Aaron Schock still hasn’t apologized for his voting for attacks on the LGBT community, yet he wants to live under the very protections he tried to vote against.
Smith David
Umm I think someone told him he’s too sexy for his shirt. Soooo sexy it hurts. Lmaooo ayyyyyyyyeee. Hhhhh, god I hate myself.
richybruce
And all those socially bankrupt weho queens can’t wait to get a piece. Blech!
Jocardo
The problem becomes we as a community need to quit reading and following his stories until he decides to publically apologize for his behavior and his actions for his decision. I understand that people fight their sexuality, I had my own issues when I came out in my teens, but I was not in a position of power to affect other members of the LGBTQIA+ community. He is another example of a privileged individual who is not being held accountable for his actions. Until he is and/or does account for himself, he should receive no press time. No mention of him at this party or that party, with or without his shirt. Period.
Brian
It’ll never happen. This story is a Queerty wet dream. It alloes them to be morally outraged and run shirtless pictures of a good looking white guy at the same time.
HmphGay
I’m not sure I understand how leaving him alone is going to pressure him into apologizing. That would be exactly what he wants — to silently slip back into normal life without anyone bothering him. He does not deserve to enjoy the benefits of the rights others fought for, and for which he fought to prevent. He absolutely deserves all the banishment and hate is getting. It’s quite possible a lot of the people he is currently meeting have no idea who he is or what he did. True, I’m sure some will not care. But for the most part, I think it’s important that his story and photos are circulated for a thorough excommunication.
Brian
If he is apologizing because he was pressured into doing it, obviously it’s completely insincere. He’s had ample time to do it, he hasn’t. He not sorry.
nmharleyrider
It’s really none of our business.
Cam
How so? This is a guy who voted to harm us. Not only was he supporting bigoted laws, he was having gay relationships in the closet at the same time.
maxdadmark
Why, oh why does anyone care about this past-his-freshness date hypocrite?
sfsilver
What is missing from each of these stories is any attempt by Queerty to contact Schock and get a statement from him. I do think Schock owes the community an apology, but Queerty also owes all of us high journalistic standards. We can’t be on our high horse about principles on one hand and let our own side off the hook. Let’s be above board ourselves. This entire story is reported by interpreting tweets – not with any statement from the three involved parties that indicates ANY followup. Come on guys this is journalism 101.
JaredMacBride
Queerty – high journalistic standards? Are you new here?
Cam
9 words about Schock’s attacks on our community over the years, but a paragraph about the website reporting on his hypocrisy.
Esscourt
I don’t care. I’d still f#ck him.
spacecadet
So you’re saying you lack self-respect.
Rock-N-RollHS
@spacecadet Oh chile, haven’t you ever had a hate f*ck?? Fun and hot. Besides, the only respect that is lost here is yours for someone else. And who gives a crap about that.
BigJohnSF
From the picture, it looks like gay men at this party – not “queers” unless you’re a homophobe.
spacecadet
It’s billed as a “queer” party. And their are people who self-describe themselves as “queer” and not “gay”.
nm4047
Like many things in the world today, people seem to be able to make a statement/claim, but given the reality of a mobile phone being glued to most people, why is there no photo evidence to back up sightings? Discovery can show footage of bigfoot a mythical creature so why cannot a extant life form be shown at these sightings.
Brian
Umm, there is a photo of it in the article.
djmcgamester
I think what’s being missed here as that a LOT of gay people are nowhere near as invested in politics as everyone here would like to think. They don’t pay attention, they don’t care, they’re drunk/high and he’s hot…that sort of thing. Just let it go. This hatred isn’t fixing anything. It’s not solving any problems. It’s not making him feel guilty. You know who is most affected by it? Everyone whose world is turned upside down over what he’s doing. No one is saying what he’s done is right. No one is saying he shouldn’t apologize. The guy only has as much relevance as we give him. Stop giving it to him.
Cam
Another posting to try to hide or disguise the fact that he voted for bigoted laws, and against the very type of civil rights he is now hoping to live under.
Painting him as the victim is pure trolling.
Paco
As long as he is being welcomed with open arms by his fellow vapid clones, he will never apologize.
t
I’m not saying I’m completely OK with him but geezus people! Give him the opportunity to atone for his misgivings. We were all given similar chances at proving we are worthy humans rather than to prove we were unworthy of being loved and live normal lives and making some hypocritical choices to cover up for what we were afraid to admit. Yes, he has made some disgusting choices against our LGBTQ community and yes we want to think that he doesn’t deserve our forgiveness but when did we become so unaccepting and unforgiving of people who have wronged us? I say give him the chance and show him our love, support and patience that all human beings NEED so that they can be afforded the chance to apologize and show us their worthiness. Forgive me for saying this but if he committed suicide over living with this hypocrisy, wouldn’t you feel sorry for bullying him? Some wouldn’t, but I’m hoping that the majority of us would have some sort of empathy for what he was enduring. It saddens me that our community is becoming so hate-filled and obstinate toward people that disagree with us. And for some of you who completely disagreee that he deserves the chance, I read a trilogy called “Conversations With God” that completely changed how I view everyone, be they friends or enemies.
Cam
Translation, an unapologetic person who voted to harm the community deserves love and support. The victims of his actions are “Hate filled” monsters for pointing out his hypocrisy.
Caligari
I’m schocked—SCHOCKED!
Manchester
Why do they keep letting this dirtbag into these events? Shame his ass at the door and make a scene so he feels uncomfortable the next time he shows up to an event. Keep doing it until he gives a statement or fawks off forever.
Rock-N-RollHS
Ok, so the sexy creep is having a mid-life crisis. The party looks awful. Just the photo of it makes me claustrophobic.
