Uber has removed from its app a driver who kicked two Camden County women out of her vehicle after they kissed.

One of the women recorded the incident and had posted it on her personal Facebook page in a post that went viral, and said the driver told them to get out of her car because their lifestyle violated her beliefs.

The transportation company on Sunday confirmed that it no longer works with the unidentified driver. […]

Kristin Michele and Jenn Mangan were in an Uber on their way to a Zac Brown Band concert in Camden on Friday night when Michele leaned over and gave Mangan a kiss on the cheek, the couple said. It was after that, they said, that the driver pulled over and demanded they get out. […]

When Michele asks in the video if the woman’s kicking them out because they’re gay, she responds “Yes, I am. Yes. Get out.”

The driver said she was a Christian woman and “didn’t believe in that,” said Michele, who began recording after that. The driver later argues she can reject any ride she wants to. …

Have Uber drivers kicked any MAGA hat wearers out of their cars?

Bet if the driver was a Muslim, he wouldn’t have been fired.

The driver was wrong.

Not only is it NOT what Christ would have done, as she could have even told them her beliefs and reasons for being against it.

But it has NOTHING TO DO WITH BUSINESS.

When I had my vending machine route I would have placed soda and candy machines in a high volume bowling alley if the owner was a guy and came over to me in a dress.

They weren’t FORCING her to be gay.

I’m sure most here wouldn’t be happy if a cab driver kicked a couple out because the guy was grabbing her boobs.

But that’s a sin.

And if fooling around a little in the back of a cab is reason to get kicked out, I and a few women would have been stranded a few times.

And no I don’t apologize. I only do that to God.

” “Yes, I am. Yes. Get out.”

Awesome. I like this driver.

I don’t know what the terms of an Uber agreement are, but at what point is it not okay to offend someone and then refuse service? My guess is that “kissing” likely involved a whole lot more.

Yeah, if you’re riding in my car, Uber or not, and engaging in offensive behavior, such as sex, or pooping in a plastic bag, don’t I retain the right to kick someone out?

Is anything offensive, or are the rights of homosexuals so sacrosanct that nothing can touch it and all must live in fear of the power of homosexuals?

Nonsense.

Not me. You want Uber drivers kicking you out because they don’t like something you’re doing so much?

Business is business. You want to drive for a business? You can’t arbitrarily make up what behavior you think is and is not acceptable.

The driver is a black woman. A classic situation. Blacks against homos. Get the popcorn.

I agree. It's not the same as purposely trying to force a Christian to take part in a gay wedding. Was it just a kiss on the cheek? 😎

Interesting there are no comments from the driver.

I would like to hear her explanation of the event. Especially the “cheek kiss”.
