Quote:Aaron Schock, the photogenic Republican representing Illinois's 18th Congressional District, will be leaving Washington March 31. The 33-year-old congressman, who just started his second term in office, is resigning in the wake of growing scrutiny of his use of official funds for personal leisure and travel, Politico reports.
Schock has been a vocal opponent of LGBT equality since he entered Congress in 2009. He received a 0 percent rating from the Human Rights Campaign in his first term, during which he voted against including sexual orientation in federal hate-crimes legislation and opposed efforts to repeal of the military's ban on out LGB service members known as "don't ask, don't tell."

The irony is that he had a special vacation with a male photographer.
