What happens when people witness a homophobic attack at the beach? What are the reactions of the beach goers when faced with such an injustice? And what is homophobia really? We did a social experiment to find out how much homophobia is internalized by Italians. They will witness a clear violation of rights: an actor, playing the part of a homophobe, kicks a gay couple off the beach. Will anyone defend the couple? Or will those present support the tormentor?

Here are the frightening reactions captured in this hidden-camera video made in July 2016.
