Pastor tries to pray the gay out of a teenager – What would you do? (WATCH)

By Will Stroude

The “What Would You Do” web series, which uses actors to ask important questions about sensitive issues, has turned its hand to gay conversion therapy in it’s latest episode.

The issue of conversion therapy has taken centre stage in the current presidential race, with the Republican party receiving widespread criticism for supporting the discredited practice in its official party platform.

In the episode, a “family” are dealing with their son being gay by suggesting a pastor could “cure” him, while hidden cameras watch bystanders to see what their reactions are when they witness the situation.

Will anyone intervene in the situation? Watch the video below to find out:
