I don't really see how this is thread worthy honestly. Glad he's a former GOP congressman instead of current I guess but as someone who has gay family members who struggled very much with their sexuality imo this kind of straddles the line of making fun/outing someone with what impact really?
It also drags other people into this who I'm sure would rather not have anything to do with it, and like most people have no idea he's a former GOP congressman.
It's not a stretch to assume they follow him on social media and, he has posted more than once about his embezzlement case . I mean, maybe they skipped those photos, but I think it's unlikely he's just a random gay male from West Hollywood to his friends.
