30 days in a gay community

I love this series because it takes people out of their comfort zone and forces them to question their own beliefs and lives. In this specific episode, Ryan, who was born in a small, conservative, religious community believes that homosexuality is a sin. But by the end of the episode you can see slight changes in his beliefs through his actions. One night he feels comfortable enough to take his shirt off and dance at a gay bar, compared to the first night they went their he stayed in the corner, offensive to any gay man who approached him. Also when the father of the service woman talked to him about the rights of his daughter you could see him open up more. his main underlying beliefs stayed strong throughout the 30 days because of such strong ties with his religious upbringing, and they were reinforced when he went back home to his family, who were completely judgemental. But I think Ryan's perception on gay people changed because of his personal connection to his roommate that he spent everyday with.
