Wow this clip made me cry. Escpecially the last woman that defends the guy.

Fugs · 11th Sep 2011, 09:42 AM

I don't think I could just sit there =/

JudasKissedHIM · 11th Sep 2011, 09:54 AM

Same here. You should check the related video's on youtube. Its great to know that straight people stand up for GLBT people.

Psymark · 11th Sep 2011, 09:57 AM

The father looked quite intimidating, I don't know if I could have done something.

Dominoflare · 11th Sep 2011, 12:49 PM

wow, amazing vid, that was really emotional when the last woman stood up for him

Zontar · 11th Sep 2011, 02:14 PM

Not one person who sided with the father. I am pleasantly surprised.

The bigots must be like: OMG LIBERAL TV SHOW TEACHING SINS TO OUR CHILDREN. Love it.

That woman at the end was absolutely amazing, a truly defined person, who gets what this world is. I completely hold my hands down to her, who ever she is. I wish the world was more full of those kind of people. I know I couldn't of just sat there though.=\

The Black Rabbit · 16th Sep 2011, 10:34 AM

All the videos are no longer available. anyone have a link to another copy of these vids?

Heyitsme · 16th Sep 2011, 11:01 AM

This is a link to the video in the original post: Hidden Camera: Gay teen rejected by Dad & Mom. What would you do? - YouTube

The woman with the autistic kids and the woman at the very end were amazing! I was blown away

They probably are. The people in the deep south probably call it 'sin hour' or something like that.

But the stories are so sad, it makes me happy when people actually go and help him instead of just looking on. I actually gain faith in humanity.

Danny19 · 17th Sep 2011, 01:25 AM

i absolutely hate crying because it makes me feel like a b!tch. but the lady at the end got me teary eyed. -_-

Jonathan · 17th Sep 2011, 02:31 PM

*sigh*
It's like looking to into a crystal ball...I'm not looking forward to that conversation

That woman at the end made me tear up a little

Revan · 18th Sep 2011, 11:10 AM

I loved how comparing the New York restaurant to the Texas restaurant. I dunno if gives me hope that the South isn't as bad as many people think. But yeah in every situation I'd probably say something, I hate seeing injustice, and nowadays I've been trying to live by one simple phrase: "Be the change you want to see in the world". And it's true, if you're just waiting for someone else to do something, nothing will get done. It really does take only a single voice to change the world. Nelson Mandela taught me that.

Contrary to the popular, ignorant belief that the South is 100% racists and completely discriminatory; I've met a whole lot of amazing people that are accepting and really genuine. So, let's please not reinforce stereotypes.

As far as the video, the mother of the autistic children had me in tears. I feel like I've seen this somewhere on here before; but, still an awesome experiment, and thanks for sharing.
