Hunky, Totally-Not-Gay Congressman Aaron Schock "Almost Drowned" Swimming With Army Cadets
When he's not busy deflecting gay rumors, Illinois Congressman Aaron Shock likes to get his fitness on. Last week he joined some hunky West Point cadets in their Combat Water Survival Lab, which looks like a Tough Mudder on crack.

Schock posted a photo on Instagram, explaining that participants are loaded down with equipment and must perform several tasks in a pool as they're subjected to "Artificial fog, rain, and deafening noise... darkness punctuated only by strobe lights, and water churned by artificial wave makers.”
Sounds like a circuit party in Palm Springs.
If you think we're busting Aaron's chops for no reason, he's been a staunch opponent of LGBT equality who's earned a 0% on HRC's Congressional Scorecard.
He voted against LGBT hate-crimes legislation, against the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell, against employment nondiscrimination laws protecting gays and lesbians, and for the Defense of Marriage Act.

There's been conjecture about Schock's sexuality for years—from his flamboyant fashion choices and being spotted outside a Tampa bathhouse to second-hand reports of trysts with a male "roommate."
He's called inquiries into his sexual orientation "completely ridiculous and inappropriate," telling Details magazine, "I've said that (I'm not gay) before and I don't think it's worthy of further response. I think you can look it up."
Right, just not on Instagram.
