UMBRELLA ORDER FORM

Rainbow and Trans Umbrellas

Recently, at BYU-Provo a group assembled to protest against the LGBTQ+ community on the Brigham Young University campus. Those protestors invited their followers to bring an umbrella to campus to “weather the rainbow storm” and to shield themselves from the storms of the LGBTQ community.

In an effort to ensure that our LGBTQ+ college students at BYU and other universities remain visible and seen, the Latter Gay Stories podcast purchased 2,500 rainbow and trans-colored umbrellas (over $22,500 in total value). We have started to distribute those umbrellas to BYU campuses in Utah, Idaho, Salt Lake (Ensign College) and Hawaii.

After announcing our Umbrella Initiative, many of you reached out offering to purchase an umbrella for yourself.

So we are offering a BOGO deal! When you buy one for $10, we’re going to GIVE one to an LGBTQ+ Student Organization.

ORDER YOUR OWN rainbow and/or trans colored umbrella NOW!

Fill out the form below indicating the color (rainbow and/or trans) and number of umbrellas you would like to purchase.

Umbrellas are $10 each, delivery is available (pickup along the Wasatch Front is preferred).

We also welcome any additional donations you’d like to make to this project.

This is not decor. This was our 1990’s bisexual habitat.

Live Más, love both.

Sally Field was already a Hollywood legend long before she became an outspoken ally for LGBTQ families. She started on television in the 1960’s with Gidget and The Flying Nun, then fought her way into more serious roles and won two Academy Awards for Norma Rae and Places in the Heart. Later, she became part of another generation’s movie memory through Steel Magnolias, Mrs. Doubtfire, Forrest Gump, and Lincoln.

Her youngest son, Sam Greisman, is gay. In interviews and speeches, Sally has talked about watching him struggle when he was younger, before he had fully accepted himself and before he was ready to say it out loud. She has described it as a painful thing for a parent to witness, because loving your child does not mean you can remove every fear or wound they are carrying.

In 2012, Field accepted the Human Rights Campaign’s Ally for Equality Award and spoke directly about Sam. She said his journey “to allow himself to be what nature intended him to be was not an easy one,” and that the best thing she could do was stand “visibly to his side.”

That was the point she kept coming back to. Support could not just be private. It could not only be spoken at home while the child was left to face the rest of the world alone. Field was telling parents to get over their discomfort and make sure their children knew they were not being treated like a family secret.

She was blunt about it, too. She told parents not to put their own fears or prejudices about sexuality onto their children. Then she said, “Sam is my youngest son. He’s gay. To that I say: so what?”

For many LGBTQ people, that is the part that means the most. Not because what she is saying was dramatic, but because it wasn’t. She did not treat her son being gay as a tragedy, a scandal, or some terrible thing the family had survived. She treated it as one honest fact about a person she loved.

Sally Field has spent much of her career playing mothers, survivors, working women, and people who had to find their voice in public. When she stood at that podium for her son, it was not a performance. It was a mother making sure the world knew exactly where she stood.
