First Gay Hug (A Homophobia Experiment)

I thought this was really cool. Watch. Discuss. Engage...







*** UPDATE SAT FEB 28, 2015 ***

It would have been nice if the makers of "First Gay Hug" had been more upfront about it being a work of fiction. My appreciation to Janice who shared this in comments. And yes, check out the actress speaking out video here.

I had seen this video before and thought it was beautiful. I am now surprised, and ashamed of *my* people - the LGBT and allies community - that it was a sham and that the "homophobic mom" was ostracized and coerced to shut up about the hate she was getting for *playing* a homophobic character on a video that purports to be fact.
