An Uber driver has been banned from using the rideshare app after kicking a couple out of the car because they are gay.
Kristin Gauthier told NBC News that she and her girlfriend, Jenn Mangan, were traveling to a Zac Brown Band concert in Camden, New Jersey, on Friday when the incident, which was partly captured on video, occurred.
Kristin Gauthier was instructed to leave an Uber after she kissed her girlfriend, Jenn Mangan, on the cheek.Gauthier, 33, said about four minutes into the ride, she leaned over to Mangan, 38, and said, “Let’s have a great night,” before giving her a kiss on the cheek. This act “set the driver off,” according to Gauthier, who said the driver, identified only as Cynthia, instructed the couple to get out of the car right afterward.
“She looked at us in the rearview mirror and told us to get out of the car,” Gauthier explained. “She said ‘I don’t support that; she’s your girlfriend.’”“Are you kicking me out because I’m gay?” Gauthier can be heard asking in the Facebook video, which has since been viewed nearly 27,000 times.The video then shows the driver attempting to smack Gauthier’s phone out of her hand and telling her that as a driver, she has the right to cancel any ride she wants.
“What is wrong with you?” Gauthier asked the driver. “This is an Uber ride. I’m paying you for a service.”
