In a lengthy Facebook post, Molly mini-series actor Samuel Johnson opened up about his 'progressive' family and urged government officials to act on marriage equality in Australia.
"This is a picture from a paper in the '70s, featuring my dad holding my sister Hilde, while mum makes coin shooting pool," Samuel, 38, captioned a photo of a faded newspaper clipping with the headline 'Dad is quite at home holding the baby!'.
"My mum was one of the first women to go and shark the fellas in men-only bars. My dad was stay at home before the term was coined. And mum and dad were both bi-sexual."

The retired actor, who founded the Love Your Sister organisation after his sister Connie was diagnosed with breast cancer, went on to praise his "fairly progressive" family and make a direct plea to the Australian government to legalise gay marriage.
"I'll be f----- if this family hasn't epitomised what family should be. Out and f------ proud," he concluded his post. "Hurry up government people, we were on to this s--- decades ago."
Samuel and Connie have so far raised more than $2.2 million for breast cancer awareness, largely due to a campaign that involved The Secret Life of Us alum Samuel riding more than 15,000km around Australia on a unicycle.
