Old yearbook photos show two American Congress members opposing gays and transgender people. Yet they wore women's clothing in school. The Advocate magazine found these photos in school archives.

The images raise questions about their current positions. Both are Republicans opposing LGBTQ+ rights recently. Their school photos show a very different image.

This happens often in American politics. It shows the tension between current statements and past actions. The photos spread widely on social media now. They spark discussions about political hypocrisy.

Both have not yet responded publicly. Their campaign teams gave no comment.
