Video captures homophobic harassment while walking in NYC

If you've ever questioned the need to have antihomophobia policies in schools, sports leagues, and the like, you're the perfect candidate for watching this video.

Ever since a video was posted online of a woman walking through the streets of New York City to capture the verbal harassment she experiences, numerous variations have also been created.

The following version illustrates what some gay people experience when they're simply walking down the street.

YouTuber Dennis Cee dressed in stereotypical gay fashions and walked along various streets of NYC without speaking or initiating any contact.

He received over 50 comments, including the slur "faggot", "you're not a real man", and "what the fuck", from both male and female passersby, and even some physical harassment.

According to several media reports, there was a spike in gay-bashings in NYC in 2013. 

It's a reminder that for many queer people, it's still a vicious jungle out there. And there's lots more work to be done.
