Sally Field and her openly gay son have appeared together in video for Human Rights Campaign (HRC).
The pair are promoting the extension of the Equality Act to include federal protections for LGBT+ people. The new law will easily pass the House of Representatives, which is controlled by the Democrats, but will face an uphill battle getting through the Republican-controlled Senate.
In the video, Sally Field explains: “This is change that isn’t just about the government, it would be the government making such an important move to change how people think altogether, minds and hearts.
“As long as I am upright, I will fight for this to be, so that Sam, and everyone’s children and grandchildren and sisters and brothers, will be protected in every single one of the United States.
“I’m proud to be an American for the Equality Act.”
