When The Naked Farmer came to town looking for people to get their kit off for a good cause, dairy farmer Kerry Wilson was approached to take part.
He and his partner Paul Wilson agreed, though Kerry had reservations about not having the right body type.
"Gee whiz, I'm 56. Does it matter?" Kerry asked. It didn't.
The cause, which raises awareness about the mental health of Australian farmers, hit a personal chord with the couple.
Kerry and Paul are fifth-generation farmers who live and work together near Nimbin in the northern rivers of New South Wales.
"You carry a lot of guilt thereafter and even before, the 35 years before that when you know that something's not quite right in your head, but you can't quite work it out. Or you're not quite game to go and work through it with anybody.
"So we've have our fair share of ups and downs and the agricultural industry is a tough gig."
Kerry said coming out in the dairy industry was particularly tough.
"Oh, it was horrible," he said.
"At one stage we thought, OK, we'll just go to Brisbane and start a new life in the city, an anonymous life. But it was a fleeting thought. It wasn't an option because I had three sons."
At the time the kids were aged nine, six and four.
"And they by default had to come on the journey with us," Kerry said.
With the support of Kerry's former wife, life kept rolling on.
"I don't remember ever sitting around with my head in my hands going, 'Oh God, what are we going to do?'" Paul said.
And, Kerry said, "we weren't the only gays in the village"

So they are admitting that being gay is a mental health issue?
NowI we are all aware they all suffer mental illness.
So, people are no longer aware that there is such a thing as mental health, whether good or bad? The topic has been forgotten, and so showing your privates in public is the best way to get people to remember that mental health exists as a topic?
Thanks, but I was just happy to see you.
Fair Dinkum? Throw them all into the Loonie Bin.
Fitting that the gay farmers are from “down under!”
I am starting to think about a final solution for the queers in the world. Win some, lose some, some get rained out.
It’s a bumper crop of irony, too!
“So we’ve have our fair share of ups and downs and the agricultural industry is a tough gig.”
Not gonna ask what the ups and downs are.
And I have to assume the agricultural
gig is tough when you’re naked.
Don’t buy cucumbers from these guys...
. . . or, the lack thereof.
Going to town naked would make me question your mental health.
O. M. G.
That’s what happens when queers are allowed out of the ir closets
Every country has its losers.
And idiots who will write garbage for a dollar.
.
Do “Gay Farmers” grow gay plants?
Or raise gay cattle?
Are they going broke?
