At first glance, all you see with this article about Orrin Hatch acknowledging that being gay is not a choice is a photo of the senator with his hands up … but that apparently wasn’t the original photo that accompanied the article.

Gosh, why does this young man being comforted on Orrin Hatch’s shoulder look so familiar?
OH THAT’S RIGHT, because it’s Kyle Kashuv.
Why is my photo being used…? @senorrinhatch https://t.co/HolwHYRl7X

So. Damn. Tacky. WaPo.
Either WaPo doesn’t recognize who Kyle Kashuv is OR they were making a sideways dig at his sexuality.
And either way, shame on them.
@jameshohmann wrote the article. Ask him why he used a pic of you, instead of doing his homework and finding a pic of an LGBT youth instead.

We checked on James’ timeline and he has not acknowledged Kyle’s question as to why he used his photo for the article.
@KatyTurNBC seems like a slander lawsuit coming up, implying Kyle's sexuality from a photo, or ANYONES is out of line

Kyle has a far better sense of humor over this than we would.
