Uber driver filmed by passenger appearing to say they don't think being gay is 'normal'
An Uber driver was filmed by a passenger appearing to say they didn't think being gay is 'normal'. The video, uploaded to social media platforms by Charlie Gardner, shows her in a taxi in Manchester city centre last month.
Charlie, 31, who identifies as a lesbian, shared the clip to Instagram and TikTok. Thousands of people soon watched. The Uber support team commented under one post saying they were investigating. "I walked out, jumped into the taxi, and I got the impression [they] made an assumption about me and wanted to provoke me a little bit. The news was on the radio and they were talking about monkeypox rates, and then [the driver's] first comment was that it was a 'gay disease'.
Charlie responds: "Because it's two people that are attracted to one another, and they express that in the same way that straight people express it. It's perfectly normal, it's perfectly natural."
