A New Jersey woman named Kristin Michele claims that she and her girlfriend Jenn Mangan were kicked out of an Uber car by a driver named Cynthia because the couple shared a kiss on the cheek while being driven to a concert.

In a public Facebook post, Michele wrote, “This woman picked me up as my Uber driver. We took off. I gave my girlfriend a kiss on the cheek and she pulled the car over and said, ‘You need to get out of my car.’ I asked why. She said, ‘I won’t have that in my car.’ I asked what she was referring to. She said, ‘You need to get out of my car because you are gay.'”

In the video Michele posted of her encounter with Cynthia, Michele asks, “Are you kicking me out because I’m gay?” The driver responds, “Yes, I am.”

Michele begins swearing and calls the driver an “*sshole” as the driver repeatedly tells her to “get out” and tries to push her out of the car while swatting away Michele’s phone from recording.
