Dunn criticised Australia’s lack of marriage equality in a previous interview with Attitude.
鈥淥ne day I would like to meet the right guy, settle down and have kids,” he said.
“But I will only do this when I can get married in front of friends and family in my home country.听If I can represent that country in sport I should be able to marry the person I love.
“I can鈥檛 believe that now the US has passed same-sex marriage, my country still hasn鈥檛 caught up with the rest of the world, which makes me angry.鈥�

, Dunn explained that he hoped his popularity would help reduce homophobia in sport.
鈥淎 major part for me also is that it breaks down stereotypes [in sport],” he said.
鈥淚f one kid growing up realises their sexuality isn鈥檛 an issue in the sporting environment, then that鈥檚 a win in itself.鈥�
