We go from a story about a gay American asking a government official for help to a story about a government official who sure seems gay. This is not the first time we’ve talked about hunky congressman Aaron Schock. But this time, he’s not showing off his enviable physique or wearing a turquoise belt. He’s in the midst of an investigation regarding his recently redecorated office – because straight politicians are so often the target of decorating scandals. OK, so the suite bears a striking resemblance to the red room in Downton Abbey, but that’s beside the point. The big no-no is that interior decorator Annie Brahler did the work for free. What’s Schock’s defense? He rambled on and on about how he’s not an “old crusty white guy” and that he loves vibrant colors. He ended his diatribe by saying, “When I go take a personal vacation, I don’t sit on the beach. I go do active things. And so, I’m also not going to live in a cave. So when I post an Instagram photo with me with my friends, as Taylor Swift said, ‘haters are gonna hate.'” That may be the gayest defense since the trials of Oscar Wilde.
