Two
Australian men are being tauted as a real-life version of the iconic cowboy
couple seen in 2005's "Brokeback
Mountain."
Australia's SBS Network recently
profiled Dan Smith and Miki Velickovski, a gay couple who are defying
stereotypes by living and ranching in North Queensland, Australia.
"The
coming out process was a bit different because I couldn't see myself living
with a partner on the land, and farming and associating with other farmers and
be gay at the same time," the 34-year-old Smith, who became active on the
rodeo circuit in his teens, said.
That all
changed, of course, when he met Velickovski, 32. The pair now lives together on
a 155-acre beef cattle ranch.
"I'm not
going to go and say something gooey like it was love at first sight, but it was
pretty close," Smith said.
Sweet.
