“My friends and family didn’t meet the real me until I came out”
Former Australia prop Dan Palmer became the first Wallabies player to come out as gay and did so in a newspaper column.

In a wide-ranging interview with ˿ Sportshour, Palmer spoke openly to Caroline Barker about his journey, and how a “massive weight” had been lifted from his shoulders.
