Did anyone watch "What Would You Do?" tonight?

One of the scenarios was a married man who was having an affair with another man. The reactions were very interesting; especially the first group who were openly homophobic! So much so, the directors told the actors to back off and get out because they were afraid it was going to escalate to violence.

Adding video: http://abc.go.com/watch/what-would-you-do/SH5555951/VD55165075/what-would-you-do-120 (it is the last scenario, so you can skip to it)

My problem is that I empathize with the gay person in just about every single circumstance or news story, I'm just like that, and the idea of watching this scares me.

And also I come from a background where this kind of things was pretty much commonplace, and it brings my anger back to the surface, and I don't like feeling that way.

Cheers.
