God and religion playing a big role in how people respond. (Thanks Oscar.) ABCs hidden camera show What Would You Do? took a look at how Mississippi locals would react to an act of blatant anti-gay discrimination at a restaurant in a recent installment. Two actors portraying a gay couple visited a Mexican eatery, while third played a customer angered by the pairs public displays of affection. The reaction from the legitimate customers in the restaurant is both eye-opening and (at times) inspiring. Over the past seven years, the ABC series has tackled other LGBT issues and scenarios. In a 2012 segment, RuPauls Drag Race alum Carmen Carrera was cast in the role of a New Jersey diner waitress, while an actor portraying a longtime customer openly berated the employee he once knew and liked as Christopher after realizing she identified as transgender. Another scenario, featured that same year, featured a young boy who tossed aside Hulk and Spiderman costumes in favor of Belles dress from Disneys Beauty and the Beast while shopping with his mother before Halloween.
