PA Gays Endorse Straight Dude over Out Hunk Brian Sims in State's LG Race
The group claims Brian Sims is both a lightning rod for controversy and a social climber who spends more time on Instagram and traveling America as a paid speaker than on basic constituent services or legislation in Harrisburg. They paint him as Pete Buttigieg without the nerdy day job: Gay as blazes, but a little egotistical.
DL loves this guy. He's already the king of your fantasies, but would you elect him to a statewide office? Or do his critics have a point?

Brian Sims is an egotist...all bluster and no substance.
He's the progressive Aaron Schock.

R4 That's not strictly true, though. Aaron Schock spent years denying his sexuality and voting against his own kind, only to come out, beg forgiveness, and become a suck-whore on the drug circuit. Brian Sims is a big-mouth for sure, but he's never been anything but a proud banana-crammer. He never voted against us.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again - he's more suited for Provincetown than politics.
I don't know if it's a DL fangurl thing, but it seems that there's a prevalent feeling here that if you're attractive, it automatically means that you're good at your job.

R6, I stand corrected.

I walked right by him this past Saturday as he and a male friend/colleague were eating outside at Paladar, a King of Prussia restaurant. I will admit I did a double take. I wondered why he was out here in the Phila burbs. But it was him for sure and he was pretty aware that others recognized him.

The Dem candidate for Gov sent him a cease-and-desist order over his ad implying he was endorsed by the candidate. The candidate had already endorsed Sim's opponent.

Sims' publicist or campaign manager must no longer troll here. Every time I'd bring up that I thought his stunts were merely that and not anything to do with his job, I'd get hollered at with lines like: "YOU CLOSET CASES CAN'T STAND TO HAVE AN OUT GAY MAN IN POLITICS!!!!!"
It was reminiscent of the ones who troll the Cockgobbler threads with "YOU'RE JUST A FAT, JEALOUS BITCH!!!" every time Aaron Schlock is called out as a POS.

Sims really has gone off the rails these past few years, his priority is apparently being an 'out hunk' (sic) and seems more than occasionally unhinged.

Sims may be a smash hit in Ptown and his tiny slice of Philly, but this election shows one thing: Sims is a complete non-entity on the PA political scene, and even less of a presence on the national scene.
And there are gay politicians who could be a force to reckon with. But Sims isn't among those either.
by Anonymous | reply 37 | May 18, 2022 4:56 PM

I'm not in his district, so I'm just typing my own thoughts and impressions here. When Sims came on the scene though (as it appeared to us gays in Mass. and beyond) he was a VERY faceable, handsome, smiley 'Mo. Yes... lots of emphasis there on the shallow exterior. But he won, so we all assumed he had some chops to him... and WANTED him to have chops, because who WOULDN'T want a hot, gay, capable, politician representing us all in one way or another?
So I give a lot of credit to his constituents in calling him out on his failings. Mind you, he's no RollerNazi, but perhaps comparatively so, he is, because he could have done so much more. To be honest, it was here on DL that I first heard/cared-to-notice he was less than the man I hoped he would be.

Lovely for you, but he is supposed to be a legislator and a representative. His actual constituents expect a bit more than cute IG posts from their representatives.

Don't let the door hit you in the ass.
Holding a public official accountable isn't "throwing them under the bus." It's democracy, and free speech. Being gay doesn't place you above criticism from any group, including fellow gays. If you're too immature to grasp that then the community is probably better off without you.
I'd love to know your feelings if the situation were identical, but instead of a hot white man it was a black trans woman being criticized.

Actually, as a tax payer IN his constituency, paying his salary, I can safely say he has thrown gays like me under the bus.
I posted about something he did personal to me in public, defending republican and murderer Caitlin Jenner, in another thread. I'm not gonna rehash, but Sims is a fucking tool.

As purty as Sims may be, he's absolutely not great at the political game in so many ways. Being belligerent does not lead to collaboration or teamwork.
This week, PA lost someone who had worked for decades for his constituents. He was a gay man at a time where posing in a tank top for an Instagram post wasn't an option. He may not have had men drooling over him, but this guy (Jim Ferlo) worked hard for his constituents, gay and straight alike, for many years, helping them navigate the ins and outs of getting help. Often that meant working with people from the other party. You can't ignore or scream at the people who hold an opinion you don't like.

"Gays, like white women, voted against their chances to have a strong ally."
You can't be a strong ally for gay people when you're too busy chasing dick up and down Commercial Street in Ptown, which is exactly what Brian was doing when two major employers in Philadelphia shut down in the summer of 2019. Many of Brian's constituents lost good paying jobs and while Brian (or anyone else) couldn't do anything to prevent the job losses, he certainly didn't make it easier for any of them either.
