Australia: Gay "Big Brother" Star's Political Ambition Blocked By Conservatives

By Anthony Cuesta

Quote:

Openly gay Big Brother and Dancing with the Stars contestant David Graham is the target of Australian National Party MPs who have vowed to stop his efforts at breaking into politics.

Graham, a farmer and former model, famously "outed" himself on Big Brother last year.

He is a long-time member of the National Party, but his homosexuality has proved too much for some in the party.

According to the Sunday Herald Sun, party members say his decision to declare his sexuality provoked a sharp backlash.

At least one senior federal MP has demanded the party stop Graham's progress.

Nationals’ sources say the campaign against Graham is being spearheaded by a mostly Catholic grouping in Queensland.
