Brian Sims has surprised – and delighted – many of his followers by re-sharing an old throwback photo.
The politician, 41, a Member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives for the 182nd district, first shared the photo a few years ago, but re-sharing it yesterday has prompted a huge response.
The photo has prompted thousands of reactions on Facebook and Instagram, and hundreds of… well, thirsty comments.

Sims was born in Washington DC in 1978. The son of Army colonels, he moved from state to state before the family settled in Pennsylvania in 1990.
Whilst at Bloomsburg University he was co-captain of the Bloomsburg University team and was recognized as a scholar-athlete.
He came out to his teammates during the 2000 season, becoming the first openly gay college football captain in NCAA history.
He went on to get a law degree at Michigan State University School of Law. Sims became an attorney after university before entering politics full time.
He was elected to office in 2012. Since then, he has consistently spoken out in support of LGBTQ rights and earned great admiration as an out, gay Democratic politician – like the memorable time he welcomed Vice President Mike Pence to Philadelphia by showing him the finger.
And in case you’re wondering what he looks like now, here’s a recent photo.

Brian Sims is an abusive bully who is being investigated for stalking teenage girls, and harassing an old woman praying near the clinic.
Pennsylvania state Republicans are demanding that Democratic state Rep. Brian Sims be criminally investigated for harassing the women. Citizens of Philadelphia have 60,000 signatures demanding that Rep. Brian Sims resign from the state legislature. I guess bullying underage girls makes him feel more like a man. I’ve talked to him before; he’s just plain rude!
His fake apology won’t save him from prosecution.

@evanxx
Get your facts straight you hyperbolic manchild he was confronting anti- pro-choice protesters at a women’s clinic that were harassing women going into the facility. We see you evanxx go try your BS somewhere else.

Don’t expect the right to “get their facts straight”. They cannot tell the difference between facts and opinion, and hate the notion of 20th-21st century ethics where reproductive choice is seen as, well, a valid choice.

@Diplomat-G
My facts are on target! Sims is the only one who broke the law. His enormous ego caused him to violate those citizens’ right to peaceful protest; and his bullying violates their First Amendment Right of free speech. Also, doxxing of underage girls is illegal in all 50 states. I don’t know where you studied law, but you deserve a refund! Keep your twisted ‘opinions’ to yourself.

He likes to harass teen girls who are pro choice! Before my friends here call me a Russia right wing troll I am pro choice and I also believe others have a right to be pro life and I certainly don’t condone hunting down teen girls to harass them for it!

Yeah, I’m sure that’s true. (Yawn.)

First off – they were anti-choice protesters outside of the Planned Parenthood at the corner of 12th & Locust Streets in Philadelphia (in Brian’s district and near where he lives). Also – he has since apologized for his more outspoken condemnation of their activities. Thanks

Who are you Sam? What an idiot….and happy to read Sims stands behind his beliefs.

@Rustyspoo, do you ever get anything right? Those girls were anti-choice, and Sims apologized. Send out an SOS, Rustyspoo, and get help!

He’s a handsome, educated, elected state representative. What are you bringing to the table Jenniferp412 to where you get to decree that he’s nasty? I’m going to assume nothing more than the dorito dust on your fingers that you’re smearing all over your Mom’s basement….

And he’s ONE HOT HUNK on the dunk tank, too!
