What if homophobia itself were an Olympic sport?

What if cruelty and unhinged aggression toward same-sex love were to be inflicted on a field and rated by stone-cold judges?

That's the theme of a new video from The Fair Games Project that depicts a happy gay couple celebrating their love with friends before they walk onto a gridiron of brutal jock thugs who beat them senseless.

It's a dramatic and difficult-to-watch portrayal that ends in a stark lesson about global views on homosexuality, and it's a painful reminder that in some places, loving a person of your own gender can result in the ultimate penalty.
