Sally Field is a proud mother of gay son – she did her best to encourage him to discover his true self

When Sam Greisman had a heartfelt conversation about coming out gay with his mom, the legendary actor Sally Field, he hadn’t known that his words would inspire a scene in Brothers and Sisters, the TV series that his mom starred.

Earning a Primetime Emmy for performance role as Nora in Brothers and Sisters (2006 to 2011), Sally Field headed an ensemble cast, that included Rachel Griffiths, Calista Flockhart, Rob Lowe, and Matthew Rhys, who plays Kevin, her gay son.
