Uber driver boots lesbian couple for kissing
An Uber driver booted a party-hopping lesbian couple from his car on Saturday after he saw them kissing in the back seat.
Alex Iovine, 26, a Manhattan advertising technology consultant, said that she and her girlfriend, Emma Pichl, 24, a senior recruiter, hailed the livery to go from a birthday party at the bar Pig Beach, in Gowanus to another friend’s birthday party in the East Village about 5 p.m.
“We were sitting on opposite sides of the car,” she said. “We leaned in for a peck, and that’s what it was, a legit peck.”
The PDA was too much for the driver, who pulled the car over on Canal St. as it reached the other side of the Manhattan Bridge. The experience opened the couple’s eyes to how pervasive prejudice can be.
