15th July 2016Quote:If you were asked to describe the average dairy farmer, Pauley and Coral probably would not come to mind. The pair is not only openly gay, but Pauley is transgender, and together they are raising three children in the heart of south-west Victoria.Despite the reputation often associated with small country towns, the couple has received widespread support after they were featured in the marriage equality campaign, The In Bed Project.
“It’s not every day that a dairy farmer comes out as transgender, but that’s what I did early in 2016 with the support of my wife Coral,” Pauley wrote in a blog post published on the project’s website.
“We were warned that perhaps we should move to a large regional town before coming out publicly, as maybe our small community in the heart of the south-west Victorian dairy region might not be ready to accept a trans person.
Quote:They said despite their fears, the community support had been overwhelming. -
