This was very inspiring!

Big handsome man.

Proud to call him my PA State Representative

I love Brian! He is an inspiration to us all.

Still waiting to hear what the hell happen during the jello wresting.

Awesome

Thats a great story thanks for sharing

Brian Sims is 🔥🔥🔥. SCHWING!!! 🍆🍆

👍✨

He's a beautiful sexy guy.

Brought tears to my eyes. That must have been one heck of a football team...a profile in courage.

I love this channel ♥️💚

Great!

I really really wish these histories would indicate roughly what year they happened. I assume this story happened circa 2002 since it was posted in 2010 and the guy looks like he's about 30 ???

this is so different to how the world was when I entered the gay scene in the 1980s that I find it hard to relate to

90 men on a team????

If there were 90 guys there, he wasn't the only gay one.

And now he's famous for attacking "old white ladies"

Unfortunately, he went on to be a very obnoxious politician.

I'm from bloomsburg pa n he said hed from Shippensburg ya they r not the same place

Hot damn, that's a good story.

He’s very handsome

I love this story. Things change when you “officially” come out to someone, and challenge them to really explore how they feel about mutual respect.

U r sxy

Running for Lt. Governor of Pennsylvania. Wonderful.

I’m glad I watched this Rock on PEACE

Are you single?... OMG you're such gorgeous Man.... I would love you gay, straight, bi... I would just love you 😍❤😘 forever.

I can't think of anybody who I'd more like to Jello wrestle with!

This is the kind of Democrats I want ...don't take anymore BS....I could care less if he's gay or whatever. 🇺🇲👍

Damn hes cute

Great story. I had no idea, even though I follow and support Sim's political career on Facebook! (He's also super cute.$

That's so cool!

Wow. I love Brian Sims and I love his teammates. When is he running for president??!!

12 years ago. That’s incredible his teammates were so accepting.

Oh ….! My gosh life after football 🏈 you are such a handsome good looking
I’m glad you coming out and be you very are

Wow, it brought me into tears!!! That makes me sick to see parents would not stand up for their gay sons.

I wonder how Brian is doing these days? He's a cutie, love to be cuddling up to him in my bed right now

Great video.

we lived in PA when I was in elementary school. there's no atlantic ocean shoreline there [!]. that was hard for my mother who grew up on the water. but she always said "pennsylvania would have been hard if not for the people there". and as time has passed, I realize how much I agree with her remark. I now say " the best time of my life".

Hay big your so so cool thanks 😊

how much has changed.... good story, thank you Brian!

This was a lovely uplifting story. I felt this episode shows up the fact that there are different degrees of prejudice against gay people. Brian is a handsome strong masculine man with a mainstream interest in sport. I am not in the least surprised that he was popular with his team. It shows up how shallow people's opinions can be when an attractive person may get an easier ride than some who may not be so blessed. Sadly that's human nature.

Hi ... this is now 13 years later. How is Brian Sims doing now ???

Exemplary behavior from those straight teammates, he's lucky.

What a sweet story.

THE GAME-CHANGING PLAYBOOK: . . There's a worthwhile side issue to consider: Mr. Sims had a great degree of what we could call "Heterosexual Privilege", and was popular, great-looking, a football player, all of that that we're taught is the most valuable resme for a gay to have. .. While it doesnt sound like he made a conscious, well-planned act of comng out, and could have even said he was joking when he admitted he was, he made a conscious decision to be known as gay. . . In doing so, that act of bravery, ethics, social consciousnes, and not participating in and perpetuating homophobia served not just his freedom, but sered to chip-away the subjugation and devaluation (is that a word?) of gay people. It was him intentionally allowing himself to loose part of his privilege -- rarely a thing anyone does who has sme sort of socio-cultral privilege -- to be part fo the solution, even when his part was parting with part of his assumed and held privilege, so others might be allowed to be part of the team of an inclusive roster of people, with some whod never have had the chance oto even sign -up try out and play on the level playing field. . . Mr. Sims forfeitied some power and privilege, and even a degree of safety, to allow others to have a shot at having power and privilege that they'd otherwise be disqualified from even participating in. (Sorry but the sports metaphors were begging to be used, trite and maybe a little forced.) . . . .Janis Ian, At Seventeen" . . "To those of us who knew the pain , , ,whose names were never called when choosing sides for basketball."

I wonder what he might have to say about the "Lindseys" and "Schocks" of the political world. Lidsey especially, who has a legislative track record of anti-LG advocations for decades.
