Three Hours Of Walking In NYC As A Homosexual Man

The Videosift pundits dismiss the one with the man in drag because they think it was intended as comedy. This one, however, is clearly not intended as comedy, and he gets much worse "catcalling" than the others.


Via New Now Next: By now we’ve all heard of the social experiment in which a woman walked through the streets of New York for ten hours as cameras captured catcalls, whistles, commands and more than a 100 unsolicited comments from male passersby.

And you’ve probably seen a few of the spinoff experiments, showing the street harassment faced by overweight men, women in hijabs and drag queens, among others.

We were intrigued by a new version, which shows YouTuber Dennis Cee dressed up in a stereotypically “gay” outfit—too-tight jeans, a cropped v-neck tee and a shopping bag clutched just so.

Sure, it’s not a look we’d go for, but hardly deserving of the shoves, “fucking faggots,” and 50-other-plus instances of harassment he endured on his trek.

Granted, Dennis Cee’s usual videos are more in a juvenile vein, like “extreme farting into a hoodie,” but its still a good reminder that even as we move toward equality, the streets aren’t always so safe for LGBT people. (And maybe Dennis learned something about walking a few miles in someone else’s shoes.)
