In 2007 the television program What Would You Do? debuted on ABC. Blending reality TV with Candid Camera, the show uses actors to stage disturbing situations in restaurants and other public places. Hidden cameras film as bystanders react, unaware they’re watching actors not real people. The idea is to see how these bystanders deal with the situations and if they’ll intervene or help in some way.

The show has staged numerous segments involving LGBT situations. These are a few. What would you do?
