Oh Yeah, (allegedly) Ed Schrock (R-VA) is gay.

This is just gossip.
Except it sounds like its true and it reveals some self-loathing hypocrisy in the Republican Party.
It's also kinda sad, like the McGreevey thing.
Maybe they can talk. Maybe they have talked.
(Oh yeah, this is gonna get real old real fast. I should just check out Wonkette for this stuff.)

SO: An anti-Gay (Federal Marriage Amendment) sponsor, Republican Representative Ed Schrock, has abruptly decided to retire.

Why? He didn't say.

Apparently, a voice alleged to be his on a gay phone-sex line tells why. (Allegations also discussed here.)

Is this true?

If so, it makes sense he might want to cut and run, since

Congressman Schrock's district includes parts of Hampton and Norfolk and all of Virginia Beach, home to no less than NINE military facilities and Pat Robertson’s Regent University!

Also,

Congressman Schrock not only voted for the homophobic Marriage Protection Act, but he also signed on as a CO-SPONSOR of the Federal Marriage Amendment!

Ed Schrock has a voting record that the most right wing conservative would be proud of. The Christian Coalition gave him a 92% rating in their 2003 voting guide.

Schrock's voting record at the Christian Coalition: 92%

His score over at the Human Rights Campaign? ZERO!

Schrock's voting record at the Human Rights Campaign: 0%!

I guess we'll wait and see. I've never heard his voice on a phone before, but someone sure as hack has.
