First Gay Hug: A Homophobic Experiment [Video]



In this documentary-style video "First Gay Hug," a heterosexual person and a homosexual person meet and hug each other.  The video captures the variety of interactions, many of which are (on the part of the heterosexual person) initially fearful, homophobic, or awkward.  The video captures not only preexisting assumptions, but also the potential for change.  This could be used an example of social contact theory/hypothesis.
