Sally Field honored at annual Human Rights Campaign gala

Sally Field (Places in the Heart, Steel Magnolias, Norma Rae, Brothers & Sisters) talked about being the proud mom to a gay son as she accepted the Human Rights Campaign's Ally for Equality Award on Saturday in Washington, D.C.

Field spoke of how her youngest son Sam, who introduced his mother at the event, was different from his two older brothers and how she supported Sam on his journey to come out, which he did at age 20.

"Nature made Sam, it wasn't a choice," Field said.

Watch the video. Pretty fab.
