A word to the wise: Never cross Brian Sims. You’re only going to lose.
On his official Brian Kendall Sims Facebook page this morning, the 40-year-old lawmaker and LGBTQ activist shared a direct message he received on Monday from a woman named Jill Freb.
“You get out f*ggot,” the message read.
According to her Facebook profile, Freb is a self-employed lover of slot machines who lives in Baltimore, Maryland. She graduated from high school in 1977, which puts her around 60 years of age, give or take.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Why she’s attacking a state lawmaker from Pennsylvania is a total mystery, but if her Facebook Intro offers any clues, it could be because she’s a follower of Jesus Christ and Sims is a known homosexual.
Then again, what do we know?
In his post, Sims called on his nearly 4,000 followers to report Freb to Facebook for hate speech. Then he added a personal message to her, writing: “Hi, Jill Freb. You’re a bigot and this isn’t going to go well for you.”
This isn’t the first time Sims has shared a piece of the homophobic hate mail he regularly receives.
Last June, he posted a profanity-laden letter addressed to “The d*ck sucking f*ggot Brian Sims” he received that included no shortage of childish references to gay sex acts, four-letter words, and calls for violence against the out lawmaker.

She’s disgusting that’s for sure! Sims seems to get off on people like her though he’d be better off ignoring it or approaching it in a more humane way. In this day and age the last thing one wants to do is antagonize people like that. Id rather see elected officials rise above and set an example.
RoughRugger
I couldn’t disagree with you more. We’ve spent literally DECADES taking the high road and “rising above” BS like this. I find it refreshing to see a high-profile ‘mo like Rep. Sims put bigots like this on blast so everyone can see them for the trash they are.

I am so sick of people saying ” Just Ignore It ” I am much happier when I see someone Grow Some Balls and FIGHT BACK!!!! Welcome to 2019 where everything is on the Internet . I came out of the Closet when I was 23 even if everyone already knew I was Gay. I refuse to go back in the Closet because Some Godly Slot Machine Player ( Isn’t GREED 1 of the 7 Deadly Sins ? Being Gay is not one of those. Is It? ) can’t handle that Gay People live in Her World.

Questions. Have you ever marched in a Gay Pride Parade? Have you ever protested a company that was homophobic? Have you ever written to a company that was GAY SUPPORTIVE and thanked them? I’ll bet you have just sat back on your @$$, letting everyone else do all that for you. It’s people like you who have made it so difficult for the Gay Rights Movement to MOVE FORWARD. You’re a damn candy@$$ that is too wimpy to cause anything to happen. Now, go back to your room and sulk.

Sorry Iamru2, but RoughRugger is right. Brian Sims is setting the perfect example. The sooner and more aggressively you stand up to bigoted bullies, the more likely you stop them from escalating their actions.
ShowMeGuy
We’ve ignored those human stains for far too many decades now. When we ignore them……they just feel validated in doing it again. Time to use social media as a tool for public humiliation just like a modern day pillory on the town square. Parade these fauxmericans front and center and let the chips fall where they may.
philbear
No way! Call these turds out! Spread their shame! Enough of trying to conform, fit in, play nice, etc.! Time to let these turds know that we will expose them!
rbernard
What you are saying sounds nice, but being nice has proven it doesn’t work with this kind of bully, who will cloak themselves with religion merely for effect.
If these bullies were good people, being nice would work.
You see, in their little minds, they thinks we are timid little fairies who will take their abuse.
The thing is, these are not nice people.
They are mean bullies and the way you win a fight against a mean abusive bully is you punch them back harder and you knock them down to the ground, and then kick the crap out of them until they run away crying in fear.
Then and only then will they respect you and respect you out of fear.

Religion is the enemy here. The religulous bigots cite primitive biblical texts as justification for their prejudice and their attacks on us. Almost ALL opposition to equal rights for LGBT people emanates from religious bulls*t. Religion is not benign. It is banal but it is not benign. There is not an iota of evidence for the existence of the superstitious supernatural. But there’s plenty of evidence for the harm that it causes. Time to let go of the preposterous fairy tales.

BULLSHIT.

Are you serious??? Ignoring homophobia isn’t gonna make it go away. So much for that “stay the high road” nonsense while people like this lady gets their preferred Trumpian people elected.
crazycorgi
The whole, “when they go low we go high” sentiment has run it’s course. If nothing else, Trump being in office shows us that strategy does not work. It’s time for us to get in the gutter with these low-lifes and fight back just as dirty. I’m done with people “rising above” and setting an example. It doesn’t work. It will never work. The only example people like this understand is to get knocked down by someone bigger than them.

How about we each respond to people like this in our own ways? It takes many kinds to build a movement.

The irony is she likes and follows David Bromstad who is an openly gay man. Unless she’s so dumb she has no idea.

I like David Bromstad. I enjoy his TV show. He’s adorable and funny.
ZUMMY
I agree with RoughRugger. Batshit crazy people will do batshit crazy things whether they are antagonized or not. It’s the bigoted, cowardly losers-in-life that need to be stood up to and shown they will not be tolerated or “empowered.”
GREATGLORYHOLER
Thank You Very Much !!!!!!
fur_hunter
ZUMMY….You are absolutely Correct. When dealing with @$$HOLES like Jill Freb, you have to fight fire with fire. You need to call a C*NT a C*NT. It is the only language they understand. (As an aside…ZUMMY….is that actually a picture of you? If it is, you are one very good-looking and sexy man. I love your furry face. Hope you don’t mind me commenting. Happy New Year to you and yours……..Thornton)

I LOVE BRIAN SIMS!!!! He has the BRASS ones to speak out and tell it like it is. Imbeciles like Jill Freb need to be addressed in a manner with which they will understand. Exactly as they address you. That way, they just might get it. An @$$HOLE needs to be addressed like an @$$HOLE because they don’t know any better. Especially, these MORONIC, fundamentalist THUMPERS! If you address them in a civil manner, it will go right over their heads. You have to stoop to their level for them to understand. GO BRIAN!!!…..GO BRIAN!!!! Keep up the good work!!!
jillfreb
Yeah. Keep up the rotten works of satan…
jillfreb
I have the guts to speak up too…

Jillfreb is not only physically ugly she is emotionally ugly as well.

I love that Brian Sims refuses to put up with homophobic BS. Rarely has there been social or political advancement without fighting for our rights, no matter what the era, no matter what the group, and he realizes this and stands up for himself and other LGBTQ people. More power to him, and if you like what he’s doing, please support him and other courageous LBGTQ politicians.

I doubt actual Facebook will do much but hopefully, plenty of Facebook users will see fit to blow this bigoted bitch back to the stone age where people like her belong.

Actually, my kingdom is not of this world…

You go Brian. Love this guy.
This lady needs to understand that she’s messing with the wrong one!
jillfreb
Not afraid…

Poor little Jill-do only has 58 FB “friends.” LOL.
Brian
You really think a low number of Facebook friends means something negative? I guess I must suck because I always have less than 75. I don’t know why anybody would want their feed filled with crap from people they barely, or don’t know at all. I weed people out once or twice a year.

Stephen….You are SO correct. These ignorant, intolerant and bigoted fundamentalists continue to quote from a book written over 1500 years ago by MEN…Not God, to condemn all those who do not fit their agenda or they disagree with. The BuyBull. They claim the BuyBull to be the word of God when NONE of it can be attributed to God. Also, NONE of it can be substantiated by ANY unbiased and legitimate historical writings. It is TOTAL HEARSAY! And…which book is supposed to be the REAL word of God? Excuse me. There is the Latin Vulgate, the King James version, the Revised Standard Edition, etc…..Now…which one is the right one? If they ARE the word of God, they should ALL be exactly the same….WELL….THEY ARE NOT!! I ask this question to all those who use that book as a reference to condemn others. Would you go to a doctor who uses a medical book written over 1500 years ago to treat his patients? If they say ‘No’…they are total HYPOCRITES. If they say ‘Yes’…they are F*CKING LIARS!!!! Religions have caused more HATE on the planet than any other source. Oh…..and why do I call that book the BuyBull? Because it is full of BULL and so many imbeciles BUY into it.
jillfreb
It’s not about religion. Its if you have a relationship with Jesus Christ – your Creator/God. I seek Him everyday. And I am surrounded by my Guardian Angels who protect me…
Saps48
I wonder what set her off. It seems so random…
jillfreb
Perhaps I had a bad day. Can’t remember…
Polaro
Brian is right – it’s time to engage these people head on. The deplorables will not change and can only be beaten back.
jillfreb
And I will fight to the death for God’s Truth to be well known… The Truth Will Set You Free…

bless her hateful heart

Bless yours too…

Hopefully she joins the unemployment line soon.

WHY is the homophobic one in the bunch ALWAYS the straight man or woman who is the most unlikeliest to get a come-on from ANYBODY, gay OR hetero…??? Ugly can be a through-and-through affliction, and not just a skin-deep situation, lol…I ignore haters like this, and take solace in the fact that while we LGBT folk are out having fun and frolics, this bag of mud is alone at home every night spreading cat food on her face just to get attention from the neighborhood strays. Good for Brian Sims, though…..
jillfreb
I like being old and ugly. I was good looking when I was young.
jillfreb
I don’t expect any man to come onto me at my age. Glad I’m ugly. I can relax…

I went to her Facebook page, she has a couple dozen photos of herself, head and a bit of neck only in some. She has hardly posted anything and a guy named Damian Dazzy White claims in a post that this is a fake account. He put that up 14 hours ago. I would say there is probably something at least a bit off with someone who only posts photos of their head and nothing else. Usually self-proclaimed religious folk usually have a few posts about God or Jesus but not her.
If Brian Sims thinks this is something he needs to fight, that is okay with me. Since most legislators say they are pressed for time I would wonder where this fits on his list of priorities though. He has taken the high road by courteously telling her what the deal is. However, if her goal was to get more publicity for herself, I’d say she succeeded as well. Especially if Facebook doesn’t take down her account for hate speech.

While I don’t side with her at all of course and yes she needs to be taken down, but at the same time running around giving the middle finger makes you look like a petulant child. It’s not the way to take homophobes down. It just shows that they got to you and that you’re ultra sensitive. And he’s supposed to be in a position of dignity. If he’s not a Donald Trump fan, then he’s a hypocrite because he’s not behaving any differently than him by getting bothered anytime someone attacks him.
jillfreb
I’ll be taken down if it’s meant to be…

Jillfreb, you are as Ugly spiritually as you are physically. If God sends people like you to heaven I dont want to go. What a hate filled person you are!

Glad you won’t be there. Daddy told me…
