Racism in disguise. That's how the left does it.

I think it's good they were refused service. It gives these conservative a-holes a little taste of their own medicine. They sure love to refuse service to gays and others whom they see as unworthy but when it comes to their needs you'd better accommodate them or else.

I think we need to see more of this in order to finally drive the point home that being discriminated against kind of sucks.

Let me rephrase that for you. Racism in disguise, that's how the left leaning Uber drivers do it.

No it's not. It might be that way in the fantasy world you've created in your head but out here in the real world it's against the law, as it should be.

Can you post an example of such? Other than the gay couple who wanted two grooms on top of a wedding cake? The owners' Christian beliefs meant more to them than their business.

The couple could have bought anything they wanted from the bakery.

They just wanted to make a big stink out of it because that's what leftists do.

Become the victim. It is how they try and control conservatives. They are finding out that they can't control conservatives and it is driving them into a frenzy.

Voluntary association. Period.

Uber's driver, Uber's policy, Uber's issue.

Don't like Uber's anti-MAGA policy, use another ride share or other form of transportation.
