Farmer Dave's Australian Story
Former Big Brother contestant "Farmer Dave" tells his Asutralian Story, reports David Knox.
Editorial Review
When David Graham came out to his Big Brother housemates in 2006 it was a watershed moment in Australian television.
Graham was one of the many dashing young men who had been cast in the long-running reality series, but kept his sexuality under wraps for several weeks while his housemates - and viewers - got to know his personality.
When he admitted he was "the token gay" in the series it was a revelation to many of his housemates who had presumed his background as a Queensland farmer automatically meant he was heterosexual. For TV viewers it became a soap-opera coming out and a chance to better understand gay Australians that hadn't been seen since in primetime since Gav and Waz on The Block three years earlier.
But Graham's candid personal story was also done without his family's prior knowledge.
In ABC's Australian Story he explains that the public coming out strained an already tense relationship with his traditionalist father.

David Graham - Interview with QNews August 26th 2010
After four years of being part of Big Brother 2006, where he came out to millions of people, the life of Farmer Dave doesn't stop challenging him. He worked hard to become a successful businessman with his free range lamb business, he turned 30 and isolated himself at Cape York, moved to Sydney to work with dogs and has become the ambassador of RSPCA. What is really remarkable in David's life is his passion for raising awareness of issues facing those without a voice.
