Gay Parents Refused Service

What Would You Do is a program on ABC that sets up bystanders to see how they will respond to a variety of different situations. In this clip, actors play same sex couples and a bigoted waiter. In most cases, other patrons in the restaurant did not step in, saying it was none of their business. This contrasts sharply with other episodes in which people were denied service because of their religion or race. This series is doing wonders in highlighting the issues we as Americans still face when it comes to our biases and prejudices and how people who are targets of oppression must deal with so much on a daily basis.
