While dining at a restaurant in Texas, USA, Natalie Woods overheard the family at the next table complaining about their nephew who had just told the family he was gay. The family at the table said they were "disgusted" and that they would pray for him to stop him being gay.
Rather than confront the family, Natalie paid for their meal, adding a note of explanation for them to read on the receipt. She left the restaurant before the family were told.
People across the world thanked Natalie for her actions when they read about her online. One message read, "The world is made better by actions of compassion and love. Thank you."
Natalie says, "It's time myself and the people of this country defend each other, defend minorities, defend people of all races and religions."
