Hi everyone


This program showed David’s story, including his process of coming out and life on the farm and beyond.

Hi Ann Maree,


Thanks for posting this story. I must admit that I didn’t watch the program on TV.


I’m sure that David’s statement that everyone should be treated equally before the law will resonate with a lot of LGBT people who have experienced unfair treatment in their lives at some point.

This was a good program. When guys like David come out, it can make a difference and hopefully a big difference. He had walked a tough road but has a good future ahead of him. I am sure it is going to make a difference to many young gays.


The show also said a lot about what sort of a person his father is. Change is coming slowly.

Thanks for sharing that, Ann Maree, I had missed that one on television and I’m glad that I got to see it.

You’re welcome.


I thought it was interesting to see how frank the family members were in their responses despite there being some difficulty coming to terms with things. And this was most apparent between David and his father. I also thought that even though the family expressed a preference for privacy, that the documentary might have brought some healing to David. Through it, he would have seen how proud his dad was of him although he was not the kind of man to ordinarily express that too freely.

Yes, I thought that, too. That David being able to hear his Dad say “I’m proud of him.” would be very healing.
