ABC decided to use their show "What Would You Do?" to address homophobia in a sports bar in New Jersey, where they tested folks' acceptance of a gay couple being openly affectionate. A straight couple was also used as well as another actor making homophobic remarks to see how patrons would react.
I found this video surprisingly heartening. By and large, folks were not only tolerant, but actively defending the gay couple's right to be there. Aside from the reporter using the word "lifestyle" — which wrongly infers that one chooses to be gay — this was an overall welcome insight into America today.
