While the rest of the world has been hunkered down in their homes trying to slow the spread of coronavirus, former GOP Rep. Aaron Schock has been pounding back margaritas with a gaggle of gays on the beach in Mexico, and Gay Twitter™ is not happy about it.
Photos of Schock enjoying the empty beaches, bars, and restaurants in Cabo San Lucas with a group of Instagays began circulating online earlier this week. West Hollywood political activist (and sometimes Queerty contributor) James Duke Mason was one of the first to break the news on Facebook.
“So not only is Aaron Schock a disgraced ex-politician who spent years voting against the rights of his own people (and STILL hasn’t apologized),” Mason wrote, “he’s also a moron who is partying with friends in Mexico DURING A GLOBAL QUARANTINE.”
How about we take this to the next level?

Now, here’s what Gay Twitter™ has had a lot to say about the matter…
Is there some kind of rule that Aaron Schock has to show up to let you know you're looking at the worst people in the world?

Wow @aaronschock went from homophobe to every negative stereotype about gays REAL fast. https://t.co/bs5eodTNF7

Aaron Schock is behaving like total garbage; in such a crazy world, it’s kind of nice to know at least one thing’s consistent.

But it doesn’t stop there…
Nothing about this Aaron Schock drama is shocking.
We need new villains!

Has anyone even attempted to reach out to friends of Aaron Schock and ask them how they can be friends with someone who actively tried to take their rights away and make their lives worse?

I'd say that Aaron Schock should just fucking stay in Mexico but Republicans have already put that country through enough.
— Grant Ginder (@GrantGinder) April 14, 2020
Schock came out as gay on Instagram last month. In his coming out statement, he wrote: “I can live openly now as a gay man because of the extraordinary, brave people who had the courage to fight for our rights when I did not: community activists, leaders, and ordinary LGBT folks.”
Now, not only is he living openly because of the sacrifices made by queer people, but of those made by all the responsible people who have been staying home in an effort to save human lives.

Cue Schock creating 4 or 5 sock-puppet accounts to come in here and post over and over “Stop posting about this guy, nobody’s interested!”
Also, I can’t decide, is his spray on color is so ridiculous he looks like he saw Trump’s makeup and said “I can beat that!”.
James Hart
Aaron Schock is truly a putrid person:
1. In order to get elected from a conservative Congressional District in Illinois, he willingly stepped on the gay community in order to advance up the ranks of the Republican Party; no one forced him to do that; he chose to do that.
2. His behavior over the past year, with photos of his hands down the pants of other guys, is in very poor taste and is unbecoming a thirty-eight year old former congressman; he also feeds into the negative stereotype that gay men are nymphomaniacs; that does not help our community.
3. His political and personal philosophies are built on hedonism, selfishness, hubris, social Darwinism, self-aggrandizement, and personal entitlement.
4. In his coming out statement, he’s full of self-pity and expects everyone to feel sorry for him because of his background and what he’s endured; he’s pathetic.
5. In that same statement, he now says that he’d support gay rights if he were still in Congress. Too late, Aaron. Plus, he knows that’s a lie because had he chosen to support gay marriage while in Congress he would have lost the nomination of the Republican Party and, thus, his Congressional seat in the very next election; he’s too self-centered to give up anything for anyone, least of all the gay community.
6. This cretin will do and say anything, like he did when he was in Congress, to be popular. He’s a congenital liar. At one time he wanted to be a popular conservative Republican Congressman, and now he wants to be a popular gay celebrity. Next, he’ll expect an award from the Human Rights Campaign. He’s disgusting.
7. If anyone has seen his Instagram and Facebook posts and pictures, they’d know the guy loves only one person: himself. He thinks of himself as a celebrity, however, he’s nothing more than a failed politician who escaped going to prison by the skin of his teeth.
8. People have written: He’d could be a great ally of the gay community now. Ridiculous. The Republican Party and the conservative movement will have nothing more to do with this self-serving, and very dumb, mannequin. He will not give us any inroads into those communities, and why would we want them anyway?!
Queerty: You’ve wasted too much space on this supercilious oaf. ENOUGH ALREADY!
Low Country Boy
Who died and left you in charge of other people’s opinions? Posting first does not mean you are correct; it just means you have no life, given how often you are the first to post. That said, I have been posting on here for years and I will say what I have always said about this POS: Stop giving this narcissist the attention he craves. He eff’ed our community over. He needs to do an interview, explain himself, and offer a genuine apology. Until then, he can f@#$ off and die.
Taiyoken
What if I genuinely don’t care about this guy?
HmphGay
Well, then that just shows that you are ill-informed and uneducated about the evils you and we as a community face…either that or that you take the abuse and denial of your rights lightly and let trash like this steamroll all over you. That’s all
dhmonarch89
well, you could start by not clicking on stories about him…

Are all white instagay guys like this? Vapid, bigoted and repugnant? Some of those guys are racist right wingers who screeched against President Obama. But that’s probably a plus for Aaron Schock.
Toofie
It’s the classic garbage “I got mine!” mentality.
Slipperyslope
@BlackPegasus that’s a pretty bold and ignorant statement assuming that “all white instagay guys…” are the same “Vapid, bigoted and repugnant…who screeched against President Obama” Wondering how would it be taken if the comment was reversed or targeted towards a different demographic of gays? Methinks this smells like reverse discrimination.
Black Pegasus
@Sloppyslope
Then change my mind….
If it’s MY perception that all (or most) gay white men on Instagram with six pack abs are insular, bigoted republicans who only f**ck other white gay bigoted republicans then it’s up to you (or them) to change my mind.
Catholicslutbox
They’re more self absorbed than anything else. All they really care about is getting more followers to push their wears to, and to attract the attention of lonely/desperate sugar daddies or “sponsors.”
Toofie
The tone deafness of that Instagram post is incredible. Idiots really don’t think before posting.

What is with the matching necklaces on all these modern day Roy Cohn’s?
Alex_S
Oh well seems like Queerty has found its goldmine. Now let’s generate thousands of clicks and 100+ comments, so we can read about Schock again tomorrow!
Cam
For somebody who claims there is nothing interesting about Schock, it’s interesting you have frantically been posting on every article about him DEMANDING that nobody write about him because it’s not interesting.
Sure seems interesting to you.
Troysky
as Cam just threw a snap over his head …..love ya, Cam <3

Yes, we need to read and comment about these entitled traitors every single day, until they slink back under their appropriate slime covered rocks.
jimmypalmieri
Was Mr. Schock raised by brain dead zombies. or is he truly just this dumb? ASKING FOR ALL OF THE GAYS HE HAS HARMED.
tjack47
I fail to see the fascination and hatred toward him. We all choose our own path. It’s familial and societal along with self-loathing. Are boys really bois/twinks. Who cares as long as they are the age of consent. Welcome to your new life and our community.
Cam
He spent his years in Congress voting against LGBT rights, attacking us, and trying to destroy our families. All while being closeted and traveling with boyfriends on the taxpayer dime.
That’s where it all comes from
ShiningSex
The hatred towards him is 100% valid. He’s scum. Just look up some of the crap he has said and anyone who is republican is vile. End of discussion.
curiobi
This comment does not even make effing sense in the context of the article! Get bent bot! Just go away whoever is being paid to defend him here! Welcome to our community SAID NO GAY EVER TO THAT TRASHBAG OF A MAN!
Stop trying to defend this great big back of STD riddled dic*s!
Oh and FYI she is not cute in the slightest to me! Forgive me if I do not find that shallow, roided up, tone deaf, entitled, anti-LGBT former closet case, the least bit attractive!

“I fail to see the fascination and hatred toward him. We all choose our own path…”
Sure, but how many people choose the path of harming his own people — the keyword being “choose”? Did someone hold a gun over his head, as they do in gang initiations? No, it was his CHOICE. Sure, many gays are stuck in the closet but they sure don’t oppress their own community. Unlike some gay activists, I don’t judge or condemn people for choosing to be closeted. Frankly if I was gay, I’d probably still be in the closet too. But I can guarantee that I wouldn’t be a hypocrite or seek to oppress others — and certainly not make a part of my career. If he was paranoid about being outed, he could’ve abstained from all gay votes. Instead, he CHOSE to vote against the community. And thus far, he’s CHOSEN to not apologize, while living the life he didn’t want other gays to have. Do you understand the hatred now?
Jared MacBride
These party boys, who have about as much depth as he has, will get tired of him after a while. They always do. Then he’ll have nothing except his poor character. I don’t think it will end well for him.

Princess Andy and Princess Ivanka: “Bitches, y’all stay home so we can enjoy the nice places without’cha”. BTW, Shock looks like a block of steroided muscle.
Aclue
I found out when I’m not interested in something/someone, I don’t read it and I don’t comment. This is my quarantine tip for the slow folk in the comments.
Cam
This would be what Dorian Corey called “Shade”. lol
JClark
Great! Good for you. Then why the compulsion to tell everyone else what to do in an arrogantly smug, but really not the clever, comment? Hall monitors weren’t cute, even in 7th grade. Anyone can read whatever they want and comment however they like.
Mr-DJ
Dear Aaron, You DO know that Mexico is part of the Globe in “Global Pandemic” don’t you?
And the 6 foot distancing means MORE THAN 6 feet, not WITHIN 6 feet, or even 6 inches!
Josh447
He’s a walking talking human parasite. A disease. No wonder he doesn’t have a lover. He doesn’t know what love is.

By looking at their faces, it looks like someone’s roided father came along on the trip. He’s really looking older and older.
SportGuy
This racist moron is exactly what’s wrong these days.
rocknstan
The concept of “conservative” to describe politicians (OK, “ex-politicians)–like Schock–is totally bankrupt in 2020.
We will see some of the more egregious abuses from right-wing Amerikkka curtailed in this decade.
Prediction: The virus will create a communal spirit that will bring us back from the “Right”-wing abyss.
JromeGervais09
Aaron has obviously demonstrated to his public that he is a power bottom entertaining all comers. Pun intended. They may be pretty boys, but they’re dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb. They all should be blonde surfer boys a la 1960 beach movies. Dumb as a box of republican’ts.
Gandalf The Grey
I feel sorry for the people in the planes he rides in and who come into accidental contact with him and the rest of his group of aging Hitler Youth. It seems a given now that he and his posse will be giving a lot of innocents the Corona Virus also known as COVID-19, also known as The Trump Plague! And this loser has free and total health coverage for the rest of his life even if he was run out of the House of Representatives for embezzling taxpayer and donor funds!
ShiningSex
I’m sure there’s a lot of STDs being passed around by him. He’s trash. Those guys are idiots. Anyone who thinks they’re immune from this crisis are ignorant people who get what they deserve.
Felecia
This douchebag has had his 15 minutes of fame; and the constant mentioning of his newly-minted gay antics is getting old…all this attention will only make the asshole think that he is a damn celebrity, and he’ll NEVER go away. Ignore him….please !!! That bimbo-bunch he’s hanging with in Mexico may be just Mean Girls using him as a round-robin dick rag, while letting him mistakenly believe that he’s socially popular and can sit at the table with the Cool Kids, lol…once he’s exhausted, used-up, and covered in the DNA of his new playmates, they’ll toss him away like the garbage he is. Hopefully, anyway…..meanwhile; is there anyone ELSE that Queerty.com can endlessly gossip about? Anybody…??? For God’s sake, find another source of topic, people….this one is burned out, lol…
Cam
I have no problem showing self hating closet case Republicans who attack the community that they will be shamed and not have an easy time of it if they then try to shelter in the community without apologizing for years of bigotry.
Jason
Cam, YOU are what’s wrong with the gay community. This attitude towards anyone who doesn’t vote like you or make being gay the center of their universe should result in difficulty and shame among other gay people is repugnant. I’m a gay Republican and I don’t self-loathe or hate my community. I prioritize other things that Republicans typically support or favor more than Democrats. I’m a veteran and Republicans support us more than Democrats. Is that a good enough reason for you to refrain from “shaming” me? Cmon man.
Troysky
His narcissism has made him insane. he won’t change. Despite all that….fvck, I’d still like his ankles over my shoulders.
Pii
“I can live openly now as a gay man because of the extraordinary, brave people who had the courage to fight for our rights when I did not:”……sounds like he’s trying to come off as some one who stood passively by while others fought for his rights when in fact, he actively fought to withdraw and deny us our rights…..what a pitiful waste of oxygen he is.
WSnyder
As a conservative in Congress he was the epitome, the poster child, of anti-gay voting and legislation/policy making. Now that he’s disgraced from that job and an out gay man [with little surprise to the LGBTQ+ community because we all saw the very obvious signs] he’s now the Poster Child for what the WORST representation of being a out Gay man could be. Vain, narcissistic, oblivious, arrogant and inappropriate. He won’t care what we write here, he’s incapable of feeling anything beyond his own selfishness and vanity. I’ll maintain that we should just Move On from him and his kind, they do nothing to help our community and our cause. Best we can hope for is that we’ll get to witness his inevitable break-down when he suffers enough public ostracization and humiliation. One can only hope.
armandov
What’s pathetic is that Schock is 38 and he is always partying w/ guys in their mid-twenties.
Cam
I think because the people his own age have either moved on from this behavior, or they know from past articles that if they hang out with him they may get shamed online.
Black Pegasus
Remember when Schock’s nudes surfaced? You’ll be forgiven if you forgot about his blown out brown booty hole. Eww
AxelDC
This guy regularly voted against gay rights while a member of Congress. At the same time, he used tax payer money to fly his boyfriends around with him on holidays, pretending they were “photographers” or other staffers. There were more pictures with him and his “photographer” in Switzerland than without the “photographer”. Since when are they supposed to be in your pictures.
This guy stole money from us and never apologized. He voted against our rights and never apologized. Now he wants to be part of the scene as if his actions had no consequences.
nitejonboy
Hope he and all his friends get co-vid and montezumas revenge and die in Mexico, good riddance.
Tyrone Johnston
I will just be honest. It seems that a lot of guys are really into Aaron and are quite jealous of his life right now. If he paid some of you even an ounce of attention, you would drop to your knees and readily forgive him for his political sins.
His current lifestyle reflects everything that some of you have and most of you desire to attain. No matter what, the man is hot and that is the most precious commodity to have amongst gay men. I honestly can’t understand how some of you can spew such nasty hatred towards others, but play victim when it comes at you.
