We suddenly became interested in Pennsylvania state politics today when openly gay rep. Brian Sims posted this beeftastic TBT:
“Holy #ThrowbackThursday! This was taken in September 2000, a few hours before the first game of my senior year at Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania. We were in Tennessee for the NCAA Kick-Off Classic to start the season.”
And even though his 2000 self is undeniable hunky, Brian is currently giving us daddy-at-the-office perfection.
Like when he…
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.
…gets asked the tough questions.
…gives a little smirk.
…gets behind the podium.
…gets some “me time” in Provincetown.
…sits with a wide stance.
Now put those devilish good looks to work and get things done.

I need a change of panties. And you might have to burn this seat cushion.

Love a “sharp dressed man!” Very sexy. 🙂
Desert Boy
Dayum! Look at those eyes! Hot! ?
wwerts1
He is one sexy daddy
DuncanK
Ew, no. No. Too hairy, too chunky, and a face that has as many sharp corners as a lego block. As a politician, he’s ok, but seems to be in love with himself.
tdx3fan
I don’t find him that attractive. I also have a problem with anyone that goes to Provincetown just to relax. Its like going someone place gay just because its gay because Provincetown has nothing else to offer that is not beaten elsewhere.

@DuncanK: You just know the person who posted this is a loveless eunuch.

Not being attracted to the perfection that is Brian Sims shows more than want of good taste, it is a moral failing.

He speaks too a little too girly to be a true “Daddy”, and besides, he’s still quite young. Regardless of the way he speaks, he commands a room with his very large, very masculine physical presence. Watching him stride across a room, he’s quite a wonder to behold – people involuntarily stand up and make way for him. And his enormous, fleshy, warm hands! He shook my hand and I thought I’d cream my panties right there and then in that damn fancy brunch fundraiser.
vonric
the man is a cutie – and a dreamboat if you are into bears….almost makes one forget that he is a decent politician…
He represents my district, an urban component of Philly… cleans up well and works hard. Yep, a little self-obsessed, but then most politicians are. Part of the reason why they are politicians…..

Our future, first gay POTUS.

Damn… I would love to have a threesome with young and older Brian Sims
Blackceo
What is happening to me?!! I used to throw up in my mouth a little at that type but he’s sexy.
cflekken
He is yummilicious

@NoCagada:
Tell me about it. I think Sims is sexy and shows that a real man doesn’t have to have that smooth body that seems to perpetuate our society today.
throwslikeagirl
That last photo seems to unleash a foot fetish I didn’t know I had. Yowsa!
Trippy
Hopefully a future senator… I’d love to see him go up against that fake man-child from Texas, Mr Cruz.

I would love him to get “elected” in me

I don’t see what the big fuss is about with him. I never knew that so many guys are into moobs. This guy has major manboobs, and that
second to last pic of him , with the yellow tank, showes them off good. Or bad.. But those who like, suck, nibble and enjoy…

@tdx3fan: “I also have a problem with anyone that goes to Provincetown just to relax.”
Jeeze Louise, you have so many problems. It is a pretty place. Sometimes people just want to escape to a place where you can meet other gay people, unplanned, in a relaxed holiday atmosphere, as opposed to having to try to construct some version of a social life with Grindr and Facebook.
If you want to complain about the gentrification of the place making it more and more inaccessible to regular gay people, then we can talk.

@vive: Some people just need to look in the mirror hard and realize the world is not the problem. It’s the man in the mirror.

@vonric: One does not have to be into bear to be into this hunk. In a real world where six packs and steroids and body carving and photoshopping and air brushing and editing do not involve. Brian Sims is at the top of the chain.
I'm Black, and HIV-Positive.
Now if he has a white boyfriend/husband I will definitely be taking my ball, and going home. I don’t play with cheaters!
@tdx3fan:”I also have a problem with anyone that goes to Provincetown just to relax.”
Why? I think it’s great politically that he was photographed there like there. Obama goes to Martha’s Vineyard. You do understand why Martha’s Vineyard is important to mention here don’t you? It’s a great statement that we as gays do have such destinations, and I think he additionally made a nice, strong, politically correct statement by going there as well.
@vonric:”and a dreamboat if you are into bears”
Really, because I’m just looking for love, and I think he’s a dreamboat. And I’ve never understood what it means to say that someone “cleans up well”.
onthemark
I don’t get that young college photo dated 2000, or the comments about it. Granted, that cutoff shirt look isn’t going to look too flattering on many people (even very young people), but I’m a little surprised that so many posters think he’s hot there at 22 or so. He looks like he majored in Beer with a minor in Hot Pockets & Doritos.
But the later photos with a beard, yeah, hot.
joshsd816
So many haters on here. He’s freaking sexy as hell.
onthemark
@joshsd816: “So many haters on here.” ??? – the comments are overwhelmingly positive. (Oddly so, IMO!) But there’s always someone like you who wants absolute total unanimity of opinion, sweetness & light & all that crap!

@onthemark: “He looks like he majored in Beer with a minor in Hot Pockets & Doritos. But the later photos with a beard, yeah, hot.”
LOL. I agree, he certainly improved. I understand there is a contingent of guys into beer bellies though.
SteveDenver
I wish the politicians who knocked on my door looked like him! Yes Mr. Sims: I would gladly pull my lever in your direction.
Bad Ass Biker
Trippy, as for Teddy Cruz, just wait. I am willing to bet that he will eventually be caught with a boy friend or a rent boy.

@throwslikeagirl: I’ve met him. He wears ENORMOUS shoes.

What a beautiful man.

@DuncanK: And I suppose you think you’re gods gift to men with supermodel looks huh?
Gman23
This guy is so hot, anyone who doesn’t think so has extremely bad taste. But to each his own. I’d marry him in a heartbeat. F’n hot!
LuckyboyLA
@DuncanK Any gay man of any age that begins a sentence with ‘Ew’. or even worse, extra w’s for emphasis, makes my gastric reflux act up. WTF ru anyway? 13 yr old girls or young men? Geeze, when is this going to burn out? Like kewl.
Ewww, no, that Brian Sims is too hairy for me, way not kewl. And his chest. who wants those big hairy man boobs in their face when his big d**k is fuc**ing them? Yucky. And his face is all square like a leggo. (they have round heads).
Maybe, and this is just conjecture, you’re a little bit afraid of being with anyone bigger, stronger, manlier than you are. Ewww, that’s a scary thought..

@onthemark: “the comments are overwhelmingly positive. (Oddly so, IMO!) But there’s always someone like you who wants absolute total unanimity of opinion, sweetness & light & all that crap!”
In josh’s defense, there are generally lots of negative comments from “haters” (if you will), on Queerty. Granted, most of the comments on this post are positive, but that is probably more the exception than the rule.
It seems there are some persons who go out of their way to be contrary or snarky.
Anyway, I think Brian Sims is beautiful (then + now), as I don’t really care too much whether the guy is muscular, lean, chunky, or average build. To each his own, I guess, but I do get annoyed at all the snark/cynicism.
onthemark
@fredo777: “To each his own, I guess, but I do get annoyed at all the snark/cynicism.”
Uh… you do realize, there’s hardly anything to gay “culture” except snark & cynicism?
In that 2000 photo where he’s 22 (or 21), he’s fat. Fat, fat, fat, for that age. Yeah, he has a great body… for a 60 year old. As a 50 something, if I saw that on a dating or sex site I’d be impressed; he has a great body for a 60 year old. But I like that he has “improved” in his actual 30s as vive put it.
Personally I think there’s a little too much “fat acceptance” in gay male life nowadays. When I go to Pride events in June, hoping to see some young “eye candy,” nowadays I’m dismayed at all the very young drunk FAT FAT FAT guys with their shirts off! Geez, guys, put your shirts back on so I can tell you from the fvcking lesbians.
People all over the world make fun of Americans for being FAT. Let up on the Hot Pockets & Doritos, get some exercise, and learn to cook (for real w/o a microwave).
Well that’s my Sunday morning rant in lieu of church. Don’t even get me started on the fvcking tattoos, I guess that’s a boomer geezer issue for another thread!
fredo777
@onthemark: There’s too much acceptance of “fat” (which Brian hardly was in that first picture)? Girl, bye.
And gay culture is more than snark: it’s art, creativity, self-expression, self-creation, tastemaking, wit/humor, sexuality, as well as snark/sarcasm. It is a (ahem) rainbow of different sub-cultures + identities. I think singling out the stereotypically snark/bitchy type of gay persona as monolithic is more damaging than it is something to be celebrated. That’s to say nothing of the inherent shallowness of dismissing guys as “fat”.
onthemark
@fredo777: “gay culture is more than snark”
Yeah, people have kept telling me that for 30+ years, and maybe someday they’ll provide an actual example?
fredo777
@onthemark: “Yeah, people have kept telling me that for 30+ years, and maybe someday they’ll provide an actual example?”
I literally just provided several examples of other things that represent us…
onthemark
@fredo777: Those aren’t examples, just vague general terms. See “The Decline and Fall of Gay Culture” by Daniel Harris.
fredo777
@onthemark: They were general categories, no less specific than “snark”. It wasn’t necessary to itemize all of the individual moments of gay accomplishment to get across the general point that we’re about more than snark.
vive
Let’s not dismiss snark. Snark is fine as long as it is lighthearted and funny. Some of the best moments in such classic comedies as The Golden Girls and Seinfeld were snark, for example.
fredo777
@vive: I adore snark + sarcasm, but (as you said) as long as it’s lighthearted + funny, as opposed to nasty or hateful. I don’t like any comedy that’s used to tear down others, versus laughing “with” them. And sometimes, the “snark” isn’t even done in humor, but just to be nasty/derisive. Not my cup of tea.

@avesraggiana: I creamed my pants just reading you description of him crossing the room.

I’ve seen Sims at various gay events in the city. He is always a gentlemen, more delish in person with beautiful blue eyes. I wish he’s lose the beard, he’s covering up that beauty of a face. And he’s lost the college “baby” fat a long time ago.
flinnte
I thought most of these comments went out with boys in the band. Oh he’s fat, he’s hairy…….you’re jealous, you’re bulimic……..lowest form of put down. Someone’s looks. Feel all better and superior now? Let’s all put on our big boy pants and grow up!
silveroracle
Sexy man.

He’s still fat, and is a major queen, and is your typical narcissistic politician who only cares about himself.
martinbakman
I see at least a few of you are interested in seeing this man’s eLection. Well done.
BigG
Take notes boys, this is what a real man looks like. Woof! He’s perfect. Damn.
Malcolm Forest
This reminds me why I abandoned the Scene 30 years ago. You are all pathetic shallow narcissistic size-queens.
You care more about what a person looks like than who he is as a human being and what he does to help other people. The Gay Scene is toxic.
None of you actually care about this person and how he is trying to help the GLBT community.
I am ashamed to be Gay after reading your comments. Grow up, Gay Men.
nastyboy
its really HYSTERICAL to read all these comments. So much negativety, I am speaking of what i am seeing here, HES A HOT FUCK. But you QUEENS QUEENS QUEENS…TSK TSK TSK
ErikO
Brian Sims is your typical politician who at the end of the day only cares about himself, his political career, and is a total narcissist.
ShaunNJ
@onthemark It’s fine to assert Americans in general should eat more healthily and exercise. Your comments really smack of hatred and loathing. Some people are fat for a variety of reasons. In any case, your comments about wanting to see eye candy at Pride events is really telling. Note – while you’re shaming and disgusted by fat men at parades, others are giving you similar judgement for being old – and they don’t care how hot you think you are.
Brian Sims does clearly have a mix of fat and muscle but hardly obese or unattractive to most. He looks good for 20 30 or 60.
No gay culture? There is considerable. Please look past the eye candy and you might see our contributions to music, literature, art, fashion, design, architecture, cuisine and theater. You may also see the everyday contributions by teachers, contractors, merchants, armed forces, and as parents.
