Archived yearbook photos show two US congressmen opposing LGBTQ+ rights wore women's clothing at school. The Advocate magazine discovered these photos in high school archives.

The images raise questions about their current political positions. Both are Republicans who recently opposed LGBTQ+ protections. Their school photos show a very different picture from today.

Such revelations happen frequently in American politics. They highlight tensions between current statements and past actions. The photos have spread widely on social media. This sparked discussions about political hypocrisy.

Neither congressman has publicly responded yet. Their campaign teams declined to comment on the matter.
