Eleventh Avenue South: Homophobic Congressman is (alleged) Closet Homo, Resigns

Homophobic Congressman is (alleged) Closet Homo, Resigns

Virginia Congressman Edward Schrock (R) retired today, with just 2 months before November's election because of unspecified allegations. He abruptly ended his campaign for re-election.

And about those 'unspecified allegations': He's been cruising for sex, and someone found out! Check it.

A comment at dailyKos transcribed the tape that is alleged to be Schrock:

Uh, hi, I weigh 200 pounds, uh, six-foot-four, hazel eyes, blond hair, very muscular, very buffed-up, uh, very tanned, um, I'd just like to get together with a guy from time to time just to -- just to play. I'd like him to be, uh, in very good shape, flat stomach, good chest, good arms, well-hung, cut, uh, just get naked, play, and see what happens, nothing real heavy duty, but just a fun time, go down on him, he can go down on me, and just, uh, take it from there. Hope to hear from you. Bye.

This is the second 'family values' closet case Republican to be outed in the past month. Could homophobia help swing this election? A few more conservative closet cases get outed, and Congress will be swinging left in no time, not to mention that America gets to see the damage the closet can do to peoples lives.

Update: Schrock also gets a 0% voting score from HRC.

maybe he and the "when time allows guy" from gay.com should get together, although he's probably undesirable now as his preferences have been made public.

Well you know what they say about people who are loudly homophobic, this is just more proof of it.

Oops, I mistakenly typed a mixture of an old site and my new site for my address in the post above. I was momentarily overwhelmed by caffeine and ephedrine!
