Saw this last night on ABC's "What Would You Do?" and thought it was pretty cool. It's also up on ABC.com if it gets deleted from youtube.

Thanks for posting. I can totally understand what they were doing and going for. But I look at the couple and they seemed to make them a bit stereotypical and they really don't represent "my" gay community, so to speak. Most gay men I know do not act this way in a straight bar. But again, I realize what they were going for, if the two guys were not really obvious, the straight patrons probably would never have known they were gay and the show wouldn't have gotten the responses they did/were hoping for.

I saw this show for the first time when this "experiment" aired. I actually teared up during the "gay couple straight bar" segment and the "black woman in boutique" segment. The two women in each of the segments became so emotional and hurt that it touched me.

That was amazing. I'm glad so many people stuck up for them, but disgusted that there are still so many bigots out there.

Is she the one that got so upset?

I thought it was interesting how the girlfriend (or wife or whatever) of the a-hole went out after her.

God I'm such a sap!!! I got a little misty with the amount of people that came to their defense against the bashers.

So did I, tofu. The first guy who told him to shut up made me a little teary, and it just got worse after that. I like the idea of this show.

I really enjoyed seeing these reactions, I have been "those" guys so many times. Funny enough, in Buenos Aires, Argentina where Im from, I have been made fun of, but here in the States, I have been physically attacked, and degrated in ways you wouldn't even believe.

Great video !!!! If only ALL people were as wonderful as sweet Nicole and the other people who reacted to the homophobes, the world would be such a nicer place !
