In a moment of economic clarity (and abdominal honesty), Brian Sims took to Instagram to ask the hard-hitting questions. No, not policy or politics this time—but fashion fundamentals. Or rather, the lack thereof.
“Shirts?!? In this economy?” he captioned the now-viral thirst trap, alongside a photo that looks suspiciously like it was taken mid-gym or post-gym or possibly in a dimension where the gym is life.
The former Pennsylvania state representative, LGBTQ+ activist, and certified DILF seems to be doing what many of us can’t: thriving. Shirtless. In immaculate lighting. With pecs that look like they have a pension plan and abs sharp enough to redline a budget proposal.

The comments? A predictable mix of fire emojis, wedding proposals, and gentle existential crises.
It’s no secret that Sims has always been a favorite within queer spaces—not just for his trailblazing work in politics, but for his unfiltered authenticity. He’s the guy who’ll fight for equality by day and post a sweaty gym selfie by night. A blend of strength, vulnerability, and yes, a beard that deserves its own seat at the table.
But let’s be clear: this isn’t just about eye candy (though we’re certainly not complaining). There’s a deeper resonance in moments like these—where gay joy, queer bodies, and playful irreverence exist unapologetically in public spaces. When a man like Sims asks, “Shirts?!? In this economy?” It’s more than a joke. It’s liberation with a wink.
And in a world that often demands we hide our joy, filter our queerness, or keep things buttoned up—Brian Sims is out here doing the Lord’s work: refusing to wear a shirt and reminding us it’s okay to take up space, to feel ourselves, and yes, to thirst and vote.
So whether you double-tapped out of lust, laughter, or low-level jealousy, one thing’s clear: Brian Sims just gave the economy—and all of us—a little something to feel good about.
