What Would You Do? (Week 11)



In one episode of "What Would You Do?" there was a scenario about two gay men in a local bar They had them men act out two different situations. In one they acted very low key and kept to themselves. The show had an actor hassel the gay couple to see how the rest of the bar would react. They people weree quick to come to the couple's defense and disagree with the badgering actor. Eventually. the people demanded the actor leave. In the second situation, the gay couple had alot of PDA and were very open about the relationship. Once again, the show had the actor start yelling things at the couple. This time, the producers expected people to be disgusted by the obvious PDA and agree with the actor, but the people's opinion didn't change. Again, they came to the couple's defense and became very angered by the actor. A person was actually brought to tears by the actor's bullying. No matter how the gay couple acted, no one was offended or disgusted.

This episode really pleased me. I cannot stand homophobic people. You can't help who you love and people that are disgusted by gay couple really upset me. I think this scenario was a really good idea and I'm glad they had it. It shows that not everyone is against gay couples which is the stereotype. I also think it will help more people accept homosexuality.
