An outspoken opponent of same-sex marriage and other LGBTQ
causes, Metcalfe had particularly harsh words for Democratic Rep. Brian Sims, whom he’s
been clashing with for years.
In the post, he blasted Sims ― who became his state’s
first openly gay elected state legislator in 2012 ― as a “lying
homosexual.”
Metcalfe didn’t back down from his comments in an interview
with The Associated Press on Saturday. He told the AP he
mentioned Sims’ sexuality because he believes being gay is “immoral
behavior.”
On Friday, Sims shot back at Metcalfe with a cheeky
tweet inspired by an iconic moment in “Mean Girls.”
In a lengthier Facebook post Saturday, he deemed Metcalfe “a racist,
sexist, homophobic, transphobic, xenophobic, bigot.”
“Those of us in Pennsylvania have known this for a long
time,” he wrote. “All of those words have definitions. His
behavior, his public statements, and his legislation over the years all clearly
rise to the level of those definitions.”
