Imagine: A bride-to-be trying on a wedding gown, her face lights up and the clerk beams in response. The shopper happily informs the clerk that she is marrying a woman, and declares, "My girlfriend is going to love this." The clerk immediately tells the shopper that she disapproves of gay marriages and will not sell the dress to her.
Stop here: What would you do if you were a bystander watching this unfold?
ABC News recently reenacted this exact scene at a bridal store in New Jersey on four different occasions. Even though the bride-to-be and clerk were actors, those watching them argue were very real customers.
