Congressman's Outfit Shocks

Illinois's 29-year-old GOP congressman, Aaron Schock, has already been the target of rumors, but a recent photo of him is adding to his notoriety.

Gawker published a photo of Schock on Friday attending a White House picnic last week. Already known for his physique -- Huffington Post readers named him the "hottest freshman" after a photo of him in a bathing suit made the rounds online -- Schock appeared especially slim and stylish at the picnic. Wearing a flamboyant outfit that included a pink and white checkered shirt, tight white jeans, and a turquoise belt, Schock's appearance sent the Beltway blogosphere into a tizzy, with sites like the Washington Examiner and The Politician Carnival running the picture.

Following the recent photo, sites like RealJock.com speculated on Schock's sexuality: "This bachelor has been fighting off gay rumors since 2004. Aaron baby...'fueling the flames' much?"

Schock, who is not a proponent of marriage equality and voted against the federal hate crimes bill that added LGBT people to a list of protected minorities, has previously stated he is not gay.
