The only thing surprising about this was that the hookup was of age. That’s not very Republican.

>Republican U.S. House candidate Abraham Enriquez denied a right-leaning website’s May 18 article claiming that he had a “physical,” “romantic,” but un-committed year-long relationship with a man he met via Grindr while Enriquez pushed for anti-LGBTQ+ policies as a student leader at Abilene Christian University (ACU) in Texas.
>*Current Revolt* reported that Enriquez has “positioned himself as a Christian conservative, taking stances against Pride symbols and flags, and promoting faith & family agendas.” His website professes his “pro-family agenda” and promises to “defeat the woke college cartels” and “the DEI [diversity, equity, and inclusion] bureaucracy poisoning higher education.”
>The screenshots allegedly show the now-Republican candidate saying that he cannot host because he lives with four other guys, expressing uncertainty over whether he’ll ever come out, and responding that it’s “pretty intense” yet “perfect” after the other man comments on how sexually aroused Enriquez makes him.
>In 2017, Enriquez was majoring in political science and serving as ACU’s student body vice president, the publication stated. In [a YouTube video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdMbvtZ0BHU) posted in January 2026 by Lubbock-based Trinity Church, Enriquez mentions vetoing a bill that would have allowed a LGBTQ+ student group to form at the university.
>In the video, he says he felt compelled to veto the bill because he supports “traditional marriage” and is the grandson of a preacher. He said he considered resigning after students subsequently sought his impeachment, but his mother threatened to bar him from her home if he did because she raised him to stand on “biblical truth.”
Hypocrisy, thy name is Republican.

He’s technically correct, traditional Republican marriages *are* in the closet.

No one cares if he was accused. Would someone let me know when there is proof or someone gets convicted?

People are missing his point: Marrying a woman you’re not attracted to and secretly hooking up with dudes *is* traditional marriage.

I’m old enough to remember when a republican having gay sex was a scandal. Now it’s Wednesday.

Traditional marriage where in-the-closet gay guys fool gullible Christian women that they are not, and will never be, attracted to into marrying them and giving up their opportunity to find real love.

Good lord. I’ve seen several ads for this bozo tonight, and now he pops up here. A dude who poses with pictures of Charlie Kirk and has his lips firmly attached to Trump’s ass? Wish I was surprised.
