Without a Trace\u2019s Anthony LaPaglia: Australia needs to catch up on same-sex<\/a> marriage<\/b><\/p>\n

‘If the United States beats Australia to making gay<\/a> marriage legal, you’re in trouble,’ Australian actor Anthony LaPaglia told AAP on Saturday. ‘It says a lot about the current administration here.’<\/p>\n

Best known for his FBI agent Jack Malone character on the American TV series Without a Trace, the Adelaide, South Australia-born actor is back in his home country to promote the screen adaptation of gay<\/a> activist Timothy Conigrave’s memoir Holding The Man.<\/p>\n

The book charts the Australian activist-actor-writer’s 15-year relationship with the captain of his high school’s Australian rules team, John Caleo, who the former met when the pair attended an all-boys<\/a> school in Melbourne during the 1970s.<\/p>\n

LaPaglia, who plays the captain’s father, Bob Caleo, says moves to legalize same-sex<\/a> marriage in Australia is long overdue.<\/p>\n

‘It just shocks<\/a> me that we are culturally behind like that,’ said the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor.<\/p>\n

The government needs to take note of the growing support for same-sex<\/a> marriage around the world, he said.<\/p>\n

‘Denying people their rights is like trying to fight your way against a rip tide.’<\/p>\n

‘You hear a lot of shit being thrown out against the US, but we need to look here,’ said the actor who was also on TV show Frasier as Simon Moon.<\/p>\n

‘We should be a much more progressive country than we are.’<\/p>\n

He believes the love story in Holding the Man will touch many Australians.<\/p>\n

‘It will strike a chord with people who have an opinion on this issue, some negative, and it will turn some people’s opinions.’<\/p>\n

Australia’s federal parliament is likely to see a cross-party bill to legalize gay<\/a> marriage when it resumes on Tuesday following its winter break.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Tony Abbott has not granted his Liberal party a free vote while the Labor party says it supports same-sex<\/a> marriage.<\/p>\n
