Let’s be honest. We all like to think we’re more tolerant than we actually are.
Which would be nice if it were true. Check out the video below. Yes it’s an ad but it’s a brilliant test of our mettle when it comes to ‘uncomfortable’ situations.
Are you as comfortable with ‘alternatives’ as you think you are? When have you been tested?

If you think about it, no self respecting establishment would simply let a group a people they think would pose a danger to their patrons. Regardless of their looks, if the movie owners allowed them in, that would mean that at least they're safe to be with in the movie. But then, that's just me...
Hubby and I were in a town that we aren't familiar with, walking down the very busy main street area looking for somewhere to eat tea. Every single place was teeming with people, with waiting lines. There was one place, right in the middle of all the pubs and restaurants - totally empty of patrons except for two of the biggest, burliest bikers in it sitting down, eating their meal.
I said 'maybe they're not 'bikers' as such, just men in leathers??'. Hubby knows more about these things and said 'Oh, they're bikers.....' We kept walking and I must say I'm a little disappointed in myself that I let myself judge them purely on their appearance and chose not to eat there. Obviously we weren't the only ones thinking it though, the place was empty apart from them.
But then, my gut was saying 'don't go in there'....so I listened to it.
