Gay men kicked out of Uber for sharing kiss in Australia

Two gay men in Sydney, Australia have said they were kicked out of an Uber after one kissed the other on the forehead.

Aaron Brown said his friend, Ryan Ottey, kissed him on the forehead during the journey, which led to the driver abruptly telling them to get out of the vehicle.

“The driver immediately turned around and said, ‘Not in my car, I’m not driving you anymore, get out of my car,’” Brown told 9news.com.au.

‘I’m not driving that’

“We were just dumbfounded and thought it was a joke so we questioned him and asked why.

“He just repeated himself and said ‘I can’t drive you anymore, this is my car and I’m not driving that’ – talking about us.”

Brown then began to film his interaction with the driver. In the video, he can be heard asking why they were being told to get out of the car.

“Not in my car, I’m not driving you anymore, get out of my car.”

The driver appears to respond: “I don’t want to take you, you can book another cab.”

After the men got out of the car, Brown complained to Uber, but was left disappointed by the company’s “generic” response.

“I expected a phone call at least to double check that we were okay,” he said.
