Former Illinois Congressman Aaron Schock was spotted on Monday wearing a long sleeve vest to the annual Halloween parade in West Hollywood, a city whose population is 40% LGBT.
World of Wonder “digital guru” Todd Radnitz snapped a pic of the gorgeous former Men’s Health model and confirmed its authenticity before it was posted on the WOW Report Tuesday.
In it, Schock is staring into the camera and clearly aware that he’s been spotted by a gay in a very gay area for the umpteenth time in his life.
Of course, the question is not ‘Why is Aaron Schock at the very gay West Hollywood Halloween Carnival?’ but ‘Why isn’t Aaron Schock in costume on Halloween?’
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Surely there are no shortage of options for this man— he could have easily gone as his favorite character from Downton Abbey, a show he loves so much. He could have been one of his favorite musical artists like Katy Perry or Taylor Swift, or even himself from one of his racy, half-naked Instagram photos.
Personally, I would have loved to see Schock dress up as his father from the March 2015 interview where he told reporters that Aaron “wears stylish clothing and yet he’s not gay…and he’s not married and he’s not running around with women.”
Maybe next year, Aaron!

Are we absolutely sure he wasn’t being that character from Beetlejuice with the teeny tiny shrunken head?

Gorgeous? That’s debatable…

Uh Oh… the WoW post is gone. Somebody better screenshot this one before it “disappears”, too.
ChrisK
Yeah, I’m sure the closet case hung around for some dirty boy fun later on too.

Riddle me this? Why do we care about this individual?
Rusty66
Because he’s cute with his clothes off, maybe?
Charlie in Charge
Going to a Halloween event sans costume is sacrilege.
charlie_jackpot
Nobody behind him is wearing a costume either
Chevelter
“Gorgeous”? How about repulsive?
Tombear
@PrinceofReason: He’s hot!
grethomory
I don’t care…there is nothing about Aaron that is hot to me. He looks like one of those men past his prime who tries to dress like a young boy because that’s what he’s attracted to.

@PrinceofReason: Because he’s a scandal-plagued Republican ex-Congressqueen who went as a DL ex-Congressqueen to a gay Halloween party?
Roan
Was he dressed up as the younger George McFly?

Please people, do not sleep with gay republicans, even if you think they are good looking.

@PrinceofReason: I agree. Queerty and the gay press should leave this guy alone to work out the issues so many of have.
Schock’s background is Apostolic Christian, which was described to me as being very strick, ‘Amish without the buggies’. They cluster in Central Illinois. In addition to all the other Evangelical ‘dont’s’, Apostolics aren’t allowed to play sports. That’s righ, they think a game of basketball is sinful! Imagine being born into that world and being queer?
But of course the gay press will never leave Aaron Schock alone, not because he was a closeted loyal Republican who voted for his homophobic party’s line, but because he’s HOT! If he looked like Barney Frank, the Gay Press would disavow his existence tout de suit!

“Former Illinois Congressman Aaron Schock was spotted on Monday wearing a long sleeve vest. . . ”
I thought the point of vests is that they don’t have sleeves.

Just from a physical standpoint he is a very handsome man with an awesome body. He has great lips and I am willing to bet he has a strong smell of testosterone about him which drives me wild.

Another day, another hit-piece on a (presumably) gay Republican by Queerty.
Doesn’t all this animosity toward those with varying political positions begin to eat at your humanity?
Or is it “justified” because he didn’t jump up and down screaming about gay rights, when you felt that should have been his top priority?

He looks like Han Solo from Star Wars.
Black Pegasus
Why isn’t he in jail yet?
And what is the source of his income these days?
His obvious taste for exuberance has contributed to his downfall.

@PrinceofReason: Riddle you this? Because he’s a double standard.
He’s a single, never married Republican who graced the cover of Men’s Health showing his abs, and was actually the youngest Congressman at the time of his term who spent 100,000 tax payer dollars remodeling his office to be a replicate of Downtown Abby, and when he was questioned about the expenditure he replied: “Haters gonna hate”.
He resigned under such controversy, and now he’s attending gay Halloween parties in WeHo.
Herman75
I suppose that fuzzy picture could be him. Perhaps he was in Weho pursuing a super-pac.
UWSguy
I agree with @Pete

@Pete: Expecting to give Schock a pass based on his religious background doesn’t work for me.
He voted against including gays in hate crimes legislation, voted against repeal of don’t ask don’t tell, etc. etc.
Besides, did his religion compel him to steal money from the general fund with his fraudulent and extravagant expense reports? And then there’s his wardrobe his Instagram, his body pics, and his Downton Abbey stylings. It couldn’t have been a more perfect storm for gay news coverage.
We’re told by the Daily Beast to leave this guy Schrock alone, yet the Daily Beast outed closeted Olympic athletes in Rio, athletes that never harmed anyone. Gotta question where yours and Daily Beast line of thinking comes from.

@Black Pegasus: A grand jury declined to indict him this past July for any financial wrong-doing. As far as his source of income goes, he’s reported to be working for a consulting firm. Also, he has is real estate investments. Even without all of that, his father is a doctor so he could always get help from him too.
