RDR fan fave Aja was going home with her boyfriend Lizard Lemon Monday night via Lyft, when they were unexpectedly given the boot for showing each other a little too much PDA for the driver’s comfort.
Huh?! In NYC? In 2017?
Crazy!
Me and @ajaqueen were told to get out a @lyft for being gay. Not kidding. The driver asked us to leave after kissing. In New York City. Really really disappointing.

Lyft has since apologized for the driver’s actions saying they’ve let him go. (Or “deactivated” him since they can’t fire someone who isn’t technically an employee.)
via Queerty:
“We have zero tolerance for any type of discrimination on our platform, and are committed to maintaining an inclusive and welcoming community,” a spokesperson said.
“What is being described here is against our terms of service and our values as a company.
“As soon as this incident was brought to our attention, we reached out to the passengers to offer our support.
“The driver has been deactivated from the Lyft platform.”
