Sally Field's incredibly moving speech about gay son
By Jo Piazza / current.com / @jopiazza
Accepting the Human Rights Campaign's Ally for Equality Award over the weekend, actress Sally Field gave a whopper of a speech about mothering a gay son.
"Nature made Sam, it wasn't a choice," Field said.
"Sam was different, and his journey to allow himself to be what nature intended him to be was not an easy one. As his mother, I consider it one of the great privileges of my life to be allowed to be part of it."

Thank you, Sally Field! I too am the proud mother of a proud, out and happy gay man! And of a proud, out and happy straight man! Why don't both of my sons have the same rights?
