In a post on his Instagram feed, and concurrently on a website, former U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock says he’s gay.
He confirmed the post’s authenticity in a text message, and said he would let the statement speak for itself.
The former Peoria Republican, who served on the city’s School Board, in the state Legislature, and into his fourth term in Congress, made the following post:
I am gay.
For those who know me and for many who only know of me, this will come as no surprise. For the past year, I have been working through a list of people who I felt should finally hear the news directly from me before I made a public statement. I wanted my mother, my father, my sisters, my brother, and my closest friends to hear it from me first.
The fact that I am gay is just one of those things in my life in need of explicit affirmation, to remove any doubt and to finally validate who I am as a person. In many ways I regret the time wasted in not having done so sooner.
I offer my story as one person’s experience. I’ve come to believe it is, in some respects, just a more public version of a difficult and ultimately, now optimistic, journey familiar to many LGBTQ people.

9 page post. Narcissist much?
What a Schock!
This guy has waited until now to tell everyone what HE thinks he “is”. What he thinks he “is” tells me what he does. What I think he is comes from what he does, and not from any identities he wants to invent.
Why didn’t he announce this revelation before he was elected? Ask Pete Bootyfag.
Why is this important when there are so many other issues going on?
This ex-congressmen could have kept this to himself.No one would have gave a damned.
I'm Schocked, Schocked, I say!
“to finally validate who I am as a person”
The sin does not validate the sinner.
Big deal.
Hey everybody, I’m hetero.
No surprise. I believe he got booted from Congress for improper spending on interior decorating.
“Hey everybody, I’m hetero.”
At least that is something.
He looks a lot like prince Harry.
Why don’t people wait until I ask, to inform me of their preference in sex partners?
improper spending on interior decorating”
ba ha ha ....that’s awesome.
and by “decorating” pretty sure you don’t mean a neon Coors wall hanging and a pool table?
WTF cares?
