ABC's hidden camera show  What Would You Do? staged two children with gay parents being bullied by two anti-gay teens in an effort to see how bystanders would react.

We think a few had the right idea.

Check out how these witnesses to anti-gay bullying reacted after the jump!

Thank Gaga we did not decide to satiate our daily pancake cravings in Paramus, New Jersey last month! Had we taken NJ Transit across the Hudson on the fateful morning ABC News' What Would You Do decided to conduct a social experiment on ex-gay therapy, we might be writing this from the East Jersey State Prison library. Thankfully, the only infraction we now risk being charged with while watching the eye-opening segment is a noise complaint from our neighbors as we yell at our screen. Follow the jump to see what we're talking about.

Another episode of ABC's 20/20 spinoff, What Would You Do, will tackle gay bullying, this time with harassment coming from a gay teen's father. From the sounds of it, Friday night's segment -- just like the last gay bullying experiment -- might not include many citizens coming to the aid of a gay in peril, though the preview clip (following the jump) shows one pretty heroic mom. 

ABC has a quick summary of tomorrow night's episode:

Suddenly, two men sitting next to our actors are all ears as the conversation heats up.

"There are solutions to this! Long-term therapy! No son of mine is going to be gay!"

As our father continues his tirade, the man nearby is clearly upset. He shakes his head, drums his fingers on the table and his eyes...

...to emotional ends.

I've been a fan of What Would You Do since it became a 20/20 spinoff, and the show has approached GLBT social situations before, but nothing has made me tear up quite like this clip of a former bully rushing to the aid of a (fictional) gay teen. Can't wait to see tonight's full episode!

(Follow the jump to watch the clip.)
