>God, he's hot, though...<
Itay is hotter.
Itay is hotter.
Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

BTW how did that journalist who told this guy just happen to come across the congressman and another man in a shower? Was it in the Congressional gym? There aren't many options to bear witness to that image.
I think it was the shower of the journalist. The journalist's roommate was the one allegedly showering with Schock, so that's how he walked in on them. It's written weirdly, though, so at first glance it sounds like Schock is showering with his own roommate.

"Hod, who is himself openly gay, vented his frustrations on Facebook about why it’s considered inappropriate for journalists to out gay politicians, especially if these journalists apparently know for a fact they are gay."
"Hod argues that journalists shouldn’t have to bend over backwards to avoid broaching the issue of someone’s sexuality until they publicly comment on it, comparing it to journalists refusing to say a politician has blue eyes until they themselves confirm it.
Hod claims that when Schock spoke to the network his friend works at, he “talked about wanting to find a nice woman to marry… and the network aired it… knowing it was a lie…”

Itay flirting with Gavin Creel :)
"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

A lot of us have loved Itay for a while now, especially since that interview with Gavin Creel.

That interview with Gavin Creel is amazing! I'll take either of them (or both) over Schlock any day!

It's not like Ybor City is one big gay bar. It's a very busy area. I don't think his being in Ybor City in the middle of the afternoon is all that telling. That pink shirt with the aqua belt, however...
Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f**ckin' perfect!

I feel like if I wrote Itay a song, I could probably woo him.
Am I cray? Am I cray for Itay?
I wonder if Itay smokes the ot pay..
He is crazy sensual. Sex magic flowing like mad. You better know it.

Keep working on it. With practice and dedication, you might someday be able to write as well as Jim Colyer.

"But in the article, Itay presents no first-hand knowledge or even sources willing to do on the record."
Which is absolute bull****. He wants other "journalists" to go out on the line and possibly commit libel but he hide behind hearsay.
I understand the angst for hypocrites but I know gay people who are against gay marriage and I know many gay people who want to live in the closet. His job is to report facts, not speculation.

Yes, but they are not member of the United States House of Representatives.
This is not a question of outing. This is a question of a politician's hypocrisy.
And you are no longer correct in using the word "libel." As of May 2012, US courts no longer consider an "accusation" of homosexuality a matter of libel or slander.

Thanks for that PJ. That libel story is fascinating and I was not aware it had changed!
I'm speaking in particular about the report. Instead of "musing" on a blog, why not write a report. Here are the facts: . To me it just makes the situation worse.
My issue here is why gays closeted or otherwise can't be FOR DOMA/Don't Ask Don't Tell etc? I'm not, but I know gays that are. As hypocritical as that is to me, it is their thinking.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this congressman was doing what he was elected to do, right?

There is plenty of hypocrisy to go around, including that on Itay Hod's part as well.

To me it's just really unsettling. What if he kills himself over this? Coming out is different for everyone.
Wouldn't the only hypocrisy here be if he actually had gotten gay married or joined the military?
So many of us have done things in our lives that are counter to our sexuality. We've hurt people. Sometimes in the name of belief, other times for survival, or even confusion.
Itay comes off as some whiny scored ex-lover. Did Aaron dump him or something?

Gays can. And they're entitled to their personal opinions. But if they're politicians, and they get the opportunity to vote on those issues, it's a legitimate news story.
