I'm watching this video and literally sobbing. I was actually completely shocked by the end statistics... They did the same test in New York (one of the most accepting states in the US) and Texas, which is known for being extremely conservative/homophobic... However, twice as many people in Texas stuck up for the gay couple, and only about 13 people out of 100 stuck up for the gay couple in New York.
It kinda proves that the media likes to make on how awful these conservative countries are. Like I mentioned earlier, (and this still surprises me) my gay friend in the military experienced more abuse here in the UK and in California than he ever did in Arizona and Texas.
I'm happy with how much the world is progressing. You hear bad things happening an awful lot too, but considering that 5/6 years ago there was only openly one gay kid in my whole school (my best friend) and now it's so widely accepted, it truly gives me hope.
