You know that old say, “If you want to raise awareness for mental illness, do something insane.”
That’s not actually a saying, yet.
Gay farmers go naked to help raise awareness of mental health
Whenever I see naked farmers I immediately think about their state of mental health.
The Naked Farmer page on social media is curated by Victorian farmer Ben Brooksby, who wanted to capture the attention of people not directly involved in agriculture.
One great way to capture attention of people who are not involved in agriculture is pornography.
Everybody is interested in porn!
“It’s been quite a journey, to the point where I left a wife and three sons to become openly gay in the dairy industry,” Kerry said.
The oft repeated tale of the brave, married man forced to leave his family in order to milk cows…naked…gayly.
I’m not going to be able to order a cheeseburger without seeing this picture in my head. This image has made me lactose intolerant.
Greying hair and ageing bodies aside, the couple hope that by baring it all they might become the role models they didn’t have.
“If there’s normal, average, mainstream people out there that happen to be gay, and some kid in the bush sees that person or that couple and thinks, ‘Oh yeah, that’s me,’ then we’ve done our job,” Paul said.
Yes! There is certainly a shortage of role models for homosexual, nudist dairy farmers.
There are no ‘normal, mainstream people’ looking at you and thinking, “Oh yeah! That’s me.” Normal, mainstream people look at you and think, “It’s time to increase the med dosage.”

This is not half as weird as Christians kneeling in front of a wooden icon or acting like they are possessed by some sort of spiritual thing where they often collapse and roll around the floor in a church talking in gibberish. Have you been there, done that?
No. Never did that.
You know… at least Moses had a “burning” bush and “God told me to,” to point to while explaining why he was doing what he did.
These dudes have no excuse.
I sincerely don’t understand the article. It doesn’t make any sense. There is no mention of mental illness anywhere. It’s just some people taking their clothes off because…farming.
When gay farmers decide they need to make cheese naked, I think the mental illness is implied. They are also making a subtle case against public nudity which we all need to consider. Yeesh.
Ha! You really have to live with this kind of thing going on every single day to understand why I am totally insane.
I am so glad that I have recently changed my diet to exclude things like dairy! This is just so off point, that I am not sure what the actual point was that they were trying to bring awareness to. All I want to do is avoid every cheese block and gallon of milk by a wide berth.
I am all for increasing awareness, but this is just not…..can’t get picture out of……
…..Eh……Uh…….
….I think I need to schedule an appointment with my primary!
This is just as silly as breast cancer patients rallying to support all cancers except the one that infects them, because breast cancer obviously isn’t cancer…
