Interesting comment, good idea
This comes from www.planetout.com:

---------------------------
Rex Wockner's Quote/Unquote
---------------------------
"One guy said the avenue seemed to close in on him. He felt
a heightened awareness of security -- very aware of the
people around him. He felt intimidated. A group of
construction workers was working on a wall, and they shut
down their work to see this, when these guys walked by. I
think that's when the intimidation hit. Another guy said he
felt angry because one man gave him a dirty look and then
said something to his wife."

-- Edmonton, Alberta Police Constable Steve Camp, of the
department's hate-and-bias-crimes initiative, on the new
training exercise in which recruits of the same gender walk
down a busy city street holding hands to better understand
the experiences of gay people, to the Edmonton Journal, Jan.
2.

----------------------------

Walk a mile in someone else's shoes. Works every time.
