What Would You Do?

What Would You Do? is a show on ABC that puts ordinary people in confrontations with actors in moral and ethical dilemmas in front of hidden cameras. It's very interesting to see people's reactions to different situations. A friend of mine is an actress in New York who has appeared on the show several times. On one occasion, she was attempting to steal a bike and actually had a guy help her steal it while a black male was in the same situation and had the cops called on him. Another time, she was placed at a table in a diner and tried to get a free meal by putting a roach on her plate and saying that it had been in her food; a patron of the diner chased her into the parking lot to yell at her.

This video showcases a diner in a small town in Texas, so it hits close to home. Two gay parents are having breakfast with their children and the waitress verbally abuses them. The show was trying to see how many people would stand up for the gay parents. I think every politician attempting to uphold the ban of gay marriage because it is "what the American people want" needs to see this video.
