Matt Schlapp, the Chairman of the American Conservative Union, allegedly engaged in lewd conduct and sexually assaulted a man at a bar in Virginia on Saturday night. The report comes from Yashar Ali, who says he spoke with six witnesses as well as the male victim of the assault. Continue reading “Another Man Accuses Matt Schlapp Of Sexual Assault”
Yesterday, I reported that the man who had filed a sexual assault lawsuit against American Conservative Union chairman Matt Schlapp had dropped the case, saying it was “a complete misunderstanding.” In my post, I noted that the man, Carlton Huffman, made a point of saying, “Neither the Schlapps nor the ACU paid me anything to dismiss my claims against them.” That seemed to leave the door open for a third party to have possibly paid Huffman to be quiet. It looks like I was right. Continue reading “CNN: Matt Schlapp Sexual Assault Accuser Paid To Drop Case”

Spring break madness is currently trending in the news cycle as thousands of students make a pilgrimage to Florida beach towns where there are little-to-no COVID restrictions. During an appearance on Fox News last night, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) told Sean Hannity he’d “allowed” his “son” Nestor to head to Panama Beach, Florida. “My son is a college freshman,” said Gaetz. “He had no real graduation, no prom, and I struggled with whether or not to allow him to enjoy spring break at Panama City beach. I allowed him to have an abbreviated one.” He added that he “did not have a good night’s rest the entire time he was there until I knew he was safe, okay, and back at school.”

Nestor turned 19 a few days ago & will be off to University. He arrived here at 12.
As you can imagine, I was triggered when (to make an absurd debate point) a fellow congressman diminished the contributions of Republicans because we don’t raise non-white kids.
Well, I have.

Look, if the 38-year-old Gaetz wants to have a younger boo, that’s fine as long as he’s of legal age. What isn’t cool, though, is voting against legislation like the Equality Act. Gaetz also told Hannity’s viewers that people should feel free to “come to Florida and enjoy freedom.” He added that folks could go out to eat, get in some beach time and “get a little weird, not too weird.” Asked to define “weird,” Gaetz explained, “Maybe a little body-paint here and there, maybe throw some beads, but don’t hurt anybody.” Body-paint and beads. Good times… At nearly 20-years-old, it seemed a bit odd to some that Galban would need permission from Gaetz to be “allowed” to spring break somewhere. Many in the Twitterverse thought it a bit odd as well. "allowed him"

The struggle … isn't real. Nor is their familial bond.

Matt Gaetz has no sons, adopted or natural.
Calling Nestor his "son" is a fiction to disguise the awkwardness of a man's having no legal relationship to his live-in teenage boy companion. https://t.co/C40aVc0Gt3

I want to hear from Nestor’s mom how she feels about an ex boyfriend acting like he has custody of her son.
Also he is an adult. Matt Gaetz “letting” him do things is weird and I’m starting to think they’re the same age. pic.twitter.com/kF7n1KPI4W

Dear Matt: Everyone knows your boyfriend probably just needed a break from you.

A recent post on Reddit asked for advice about a boyfriend who refused to rub-a-dub-dub ‘down there’ because ‘no homo.’ The thread got so much attention the moderators actually removed the original message and locked down the comments. A woman asked what she could do to encourage her 24-year-old boyfriend to have better personal hygiene. Apparently, when she addressed the issue (which came up after they became intimate), “He explained that he doesn’t touch himself there, ever, because it’s gay.” “He thinks washing his penis would be gay,” she continued. “What the hell. In fact, he thinks any touching of anything between his legs is gay.” It seems the most attention his nether regions get is water running down his body during a shower. “This was completely ridiculous and I started asking him what about masturbating?” added the poster. “What about wiping after he poops?” Apparently, the boyfriend explained he gave up on self-love long ago as it began to make him feel ‘weird.’ And he uses a bidet instead of wiping after taking a number two. The poster shared that the boyfriend feels “any contact a guy has with the male ass or pubic areas is in a gay realm.” Even when she tried to tell him that touching his own body wasn’t ‘gay’ (“gay involves other people!”), he was unmoved.

Some wondered about the logistics of how a guy relieves himself without touching: “How does he pee without touching his dick? I’m imagining a huge mess.” Another logistic question came up about the reality of having sex – apparently, he doesn’t touch his penis then either. The original poster, when asked, added, “I didn’t want to get too graphic but yes the times we’ve had sex he has asked me to position him and also to put on the condom.” Several comments suggested he might need a date with a doctor for a ‘hygiene intervention.’ Many felt the clue phone was ringing, and she might want to answer: “I feel like the fact that he doesn’t wash or touch his own genital area (as genuinely disturbing as that is) is unfortunately only the tip of the iceberg with this whole thing.” What do you think, readers? Is this just an OCD thing? Childhood trauma? When it comes to hygiene, have you ever had to bring up the issue with a partner? Tell us what you think in the comments section.

Shortly after his acquittal, he was found dead in his prison cell and his death was ruled a suicide. An autopsy revealed he suffered from severe chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a neurodegenerative disease caused by repeated head injuries. Days after his passing, Newsweek published an article suggesting the athlete’s motive for killing Lloyd was to hide his sexual orientation. Since then, there’s been much speculation about his sexuality. Hernandez’s lawyer, Jose Baez, later penned a book, Unnecessary Roughness, claiming the footballer confessed he’d had homosexual relationships. Additionally, Hernandez reportedly left a suicide note for his alleged prison lover, Kyle Kennedy, who he had requested to be his cellmate before he died. Hernandez has already been the subject of a two-part Oxygen Network series, Aaron Hernandez Uncovered, in 2018, which explored his rumored bisexuality. Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez premieres January 15 on Netflix.

| ‘Totally-not-tipping’ Aaron Schock (screen capture) |
Totally-not-gay, former GOP congressman Aaron Schock reappeared on social media again, this time on the Instagram account of someone named Jeremy Cormier.
Other outlets are designating Cormier as an Instagram “influencer,” but I’ve honestly never heard of him. This post will probably be the most exposure he ever receives, considering after perusing his IG account, his life goals seem to be perfecting his abs and hanging with shirtless boys.
A trainer friend of mine pointed out he might want to balance some other body parts during workouts like his under-developed pecs or even consider a ‘leg day’ once in a while, but I’m not an expert so,…
Posting a photo of himself with Schock on his account, Cormier captioned the post, “Beach bros.”
Now, Cormier could have just shared the pic with “a guy with great abs,” but instead went to the trouble of tagging Schock in the photo. So, Cormier had to know the attention (and not the good kind) he was about to attract.
And, maybe that’s the point. As one commenter wrote, “When abs are more important than principles.”
As I’ve reported many times, during his time in the House of Representatives, the Republican congressman from Illinois took public positions against LGBTQ issues like voting against the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, and for the anti-same-sex marriage Defense of Marriage bill. All while rumors abounded that he was a closeted gay.
In the past several months, Schock has been seen hanging with shirtless gays at Coachella, as well as making out and sliding his hands down the pants of a guy at the music festival as well.
In the photo above, Schock was captured tipping a gay go-go dancer in Mexico City.
You can find more on Mr. Schock’s escapades here.
James Duke Mason, who previously shared the photo of Schock at Coachella, wrote on the post:
“Jeremy, you know I love you, and you’re entitled of course to associate with whomever you choose to associate with- but this is disappointing. I don’t know who @aaronschock is in his heart, but this is a man who spent a decade actively fighting our rights and has STILL not apologized for it publicly. Think about the LGBT youth who have literally taken their lives because of anti-gay politicians like Aaron. This post really breaks my heart.”
Many of the comments noted the vast dearth of people of color in Cormier’s IG account.
I scrolled through his entire IG feed going back to 2013. There’s seriously not one black or brown face in any photo. In six years of posts.
Oh, wait – I did see one Asian man in a photo from 2016, but that was about it in terms of diversity.
Other than his abs, the only thing on display appears to be a sea of white gay men.
I think that tells us everything we need to know.
Maybe Cormier has more in common with Mr. Schock than we know.
Just to prove irony is dead, Mr. Cormier’s next IG post was attending a same-sex wedding, which Schock opposed while in office.
This post pretty much sums up his entire Instagram feed.
More the comments section:
“Nothing to see here, just a disgraced anti-gay politician who refuses to acknowledge his hypocrisy and the harm he has done to our community…”
“The dude’s Instagram feed is all the response y’all need. Look at it. What do you notice? Jeremy is more comfortable posting photos with antigay politicians than with anyone who isn’t nonwhite. White supremacy is a spectrum and takes on several forms from mild to serious, but the reality is Jeremy probably just shares Aaron’s worldview. ¯_(ツ)_/¯”
“What do y’all expect from an Instagram that’s a sea of white faces. These instagays who live in the world’s most diverse cities (New York, Los Angeles, etc.) and yet manage to never socialize with or build friendships with a single person who isn’t white have long ago told us who they are.”
“I thought trash was picked up on Mondays in Malibu.”
“This is so fucking corny and so typical of the instagay community. How do you not care he voted against our communities interest while in congress?”
“It’s the epitome of what white gay privilege looks like.”
Note – I did email Mr. Cormier to see if he had any statement he’d like to make about the post and Mr. Schock. I’ve not received a reply at this time. If he does respond, I’ll be sure to update this post.

‘Totally-not-gay’ former Republican Congressman Aaron Schock was recently caught on video tipping a go-go dancer at Boy Bar, a gay club in Mexico City this past weekend.
The Daily Mail was first to share the video footage which quickly went viral.
“The last person I would expect to see in Boy Bar is a former Republican congressman,” said the individual who recorded 37-year-old Schock at the nightclub. “I was taking a video of the go-go dancer on stage and all of a sudden I saw him.
“He looked like he was enjoying himself,” added the source.
Here’s a GIF of Aaron Schock tipping the hot go-go dancer in the Mexico City gay bar. pic.twitter.com/tY1WmL07jp— 🇺🇸🌊 Kal-El of Krypton 🏳️🌈🌽 (@MadeOnKrypton) June 27, 2019
To be honest, I’m terrible with faces, so I don’t know that I would have recognized the former lawmaker in a gay bar in another country.
But Schock did post on his Instagram that he was visiting Mexico City over the weekend, so…
Schock resigned from Congress in 2015 amid allegations he had misappropriated campaign funds for his own use.
This past March, federal prosecutors agreed to drop 24 charges of fraud, making false statements and theft of government funds if he repaid more than $100,000 in misappropriated funds.
Over the past several months, Schock, who has never publicly come out, has been spotted frolicking with shirtless gay men in a number of locales including the Coachella festival and a West Hollywood hotel pool.
Long suspected of being gay, Schock angered the LGBTQ community by voting against LGBTQ rights and interests during his time in the House.
As a congressman representing Illinois, he voted against the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” against adding sexual orientation and gender identity to the federal hate crime laws, and for the Defense of Marriage Act, which would have defined marriage as only between a man and a woman.
To be clear, I’m never one to out a gay person UNLESS they used their position to harm the LGBTQ community while enjoying the privileges that we’ve fought for.
The Twitterverse has had a field day with the new-found video clip:

There’s no shame in tipping male dancers. Lord knows I’ve done it a time or two. Then again, I’ve been out since I was 18, and have never been an anti-gay Republican congressman like @aaronschock. https://t.co/nQP5ZMBjHP— George Henson, PhD (@unpoetaloco) June 27, 2019
