Uber responds after Texas teen says driver kicked him out of the car for being gay
"As soon as I said 'hello good morning' with a little f****** gay in my voice that's when he said 'oh you've got to leave my car.'"
"Support team here - we're sorry to hear this happened - this behavior isn't okay. Uber does not tolerate discrimination of any kind and can confirm that a specialized team is actively reviewing this incident."
"I did contact Uber and honestly guys, Uber has done nothing... every time I try reporting him they close the chat."
"People need to understand there's something called homophobia, he does not need a reason to cancel the ride he just cancelled the ride because he's homophobic."
A TikTok video by a gay teen, @alexdiarieslive, shows an Uber driver cancelling his ride after a greeting. The driver asked him to leave the car, claiming he would call the police. The video went viral, receiving 3.4 million views and comments, including a response from Uber stating they do not tolerate discrimination. However, the teen reported that Uber has not provided a satisfactory response to his complaints, emphasizing that the cancellation was due to homophobia, not any provocation on his part.
