Aaron Schock hired an interior decorator to make his office look like the drawing room in Downton Abbey. "Totally not gay" hilarity ensues. (curbed.com)

So...having a stylish office is evidence of gayness?

It kinda seems like people in this sub want people to accept that gay guys can be flamboyant, "masculine", queer, or anything in between, but even a hint of style from someone who claims to be heterosexual means they must be hiding something.

I think many lgbt people have no problem with Schock being joked about since he is opposed to gay rights.

it's wrong, but he's an asshole.

[–]somekook 13 ポイント14 ポイント  (0子コメント)

No, being widely known as a closeted antigay republican hypocrite is evidence of being an asshole.

I hear you, but let's call a spade a spade.

[–]Couldnotbehelpd 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (4子コメント)

No, certain users on gaybros will defend Aaron Schock to the death over him not being gay. I don't really get it but whatever. They need photographic evidence and like a signed affidavit.

[–]tittycloudBROmar Epps 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (3子コメント)

I don't see how having an interior designer makes him gay.

[–]Couldnotbehelpd 24 ポイント25 ポイント  (2子コメント)

I think it's the continuous spotting at gay clubs that makes people speculate.

I don't care that much either way, but people on here will not believe any old random poster and viciously fight against them if they say that they saw Aaron at a gay bar.

For me, the purple shirt/teal belt/white shorts photo was enough evidence, but I think everyone is secretly gay.

[–]ridersderohan 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Has he really been spotted at that many gay clubs?

The only sightings I'm aware of were when he was seen in the gay district of Tampa during the Republican National Convention. And that's just Ybor, which happens to also be the historic and Cuban district of Tampa and in the midst of a lot of the RNC events outside of the Convention Center.

Personal opinion, I do think he is gay. But still. This is like how people swear that he was caught feeling up his man friend in a shower but nobody seems to point to exactly when and where that happened and who it was that actually saw them.

[–]Couldnotbehelpd [非表示スコア]  (0子コメント)

Don't ask me, the last time he was on here someone said they saw him at a gay bar and was promptly attacked.

[–]OnatelSlowbro 16 ポイント17 ポイント  (1子コメント)

There are also the many stories of him trolling gay bars, and then there was the time a reporter found him and his male "roommate" showering together.

[–]Dzukian 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Technically, there was "that one time some dude said that an unnamed reporter said that they found him in a shower with his 'roommate.'" That allegation is a rumor. I don't know about the gay clubs (sounds more plausible), but the shower thing has the same journalistic standing as me saying that I saw Aaron Schock cruising in a sauna.

Schock is gayer asleep at his desk than I am being gangfucked by the cast of Glee.

[–]YourFairyGodmother 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Before you knee-jerk you should do a little research into the subject of the notoriously glass closeted anti-gay internalized homophopbe Aaron Schock,

[–]LuxNocte 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

This story is talking about his office. I'm talking about this story.

This story is suggesting that a person's decor is indicative of his sexual interests, which is ludicrous.

[–]acidmonkey 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (4子コメント)

Just look at the pictures that pop up when you google him... I'm not one to stereotype but come on.

[–]LuxNocte 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (3子コメント)

I'm not one to stereotype but in this case I'm making an exception.

I googled him, quite enjoyed the Google, might go to my bunk later, but in none of those pictures was he kissing another man.

If you don't think it's hypocritical to judge someone's sexuality by things unrelated to their sexuality, I don't know what to tell you.

I don't know Schock, and don't really care, suggesting that someone's office decor is evidence of homosexuality only reinforces the "gay" stereotype.

[–]N0_ThisIsPATRICK 22 ポイント23 ポイント  (1子コメント)

suggesting that someone's office decor is evidence of homosexuality only reinforces the "gay" stereotype.

I'd just like to point out that it wasn't so much the office decor as the fact that he was deliberately trying to hide the office decor. That kind of policing of your own thoughts and actions is like Staying In The Closet 101.

[–]ridersderohan 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Definitely. And for most people I'd agree. But that's Staying In The Closet 101 because gay people do those things to avoid any suspicion or cover up any signs they might be gay when they want to stay in the closet.

As gay as I think he is, he is in a spot already where he would try to 'overcompensate' and hide those things. Because even if he isn't gay, the accusations are out there and he feels the need to fight against them. Because if things like this come out, people will keep pushing it as talk that he's gay and then Ruth, someone's grandmother from Peoria will hear about it and tell all of her conservative friends that 'that Schock man is a homo' and they'll all vote against him.

[–]heimaeyFugayzi 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I see what you're saying and looking at just this and only this then I'd see your point, but there are so many indications pointing to him hiding in the closet that this just makes it seem even more ridiculous. And I don't think he'd be getting any flack and no one would care if he was or wasn't, really, if he wasn't supporting ant-gay legislation.

[–]someone_like_me 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (4子コメント)

No, it's not evidence at all.

But-- when a closeted guy has handlers all around him trying to keep the world from seeing that he's gay.... handlers checking his wardrobe daily to prevent a tragic relapse of spring-ensable-gate... only to have a reporter walk in and snap a few pictures of a simply fabulous window treatment... and then have the handlers freak out and offer anything to bury the photos? Well, that's fucking hillarious.

[–]LuxNocte 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Politics is about image. There are a dozen political reasons that his handlers may not want this in im the media narrative, not least that most bigots think that all gays are into decor and everyone who's into decor is gay.

Regardless of whether the guy sleeps with other guys or not, I just don't like to see gay guys jumping on the bandwagon promoting stereotypes.

[–]someone_like_me 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (2子コメント)

There are a dozen political reasons

OK dokey. Name the dozen reasons. Because I can only think of one.

His career will be destroyed if the home voters believe he is gay

[–]LuxNocte 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I did specifically mention that one, of course.

.2. The decor makes him seem "out of touch" with the regular voter.
.3. The decor makes him seem rich.
.4. Who paid for the remodel? Tax dollars?
.5. Downton Abbey airs on NPR, does that mean he's part of the liberal elite?
.6. Ostrich feathers are so 2007.
.7. Downton Abbey is British, does that mean he thinks he's better than "real" Americans?
.8. Why is he watching TV when he should be working?
.9. Downton Abbey is a show about nobility. Does that mean he thinks he's better than "real" Americans?
.10. [Censored for National Security Reasons].
.11. Focus groups prefer Candy Apple Red to Magenta.
.12. Plainly and simply: Downton Abbey is not what his handlers want his public persona to portray.

I'm not his campaign manager and a "dozen" is clearly a figure of speech. He doesn't want Downton Abbey in his public persona, that doesn't mean he's gay, that means he's a Republican.

Are you really arguing that you can tell someone likes the cock by his office? Are you honestly saying that social stereotypes are 100% accurate?

Oh, hey. There I am just above saying it does not. But it does make me point at his pathetic faggoty ass and laugh.
