Fire them. What's next -- are they going to refuse to take people to restaurants where pork or alcoholic beverages are served? Or women who aren't wearing a veil?
Cabs are a public accommodation subject to the civil rights laws of this country. They apply to everybody, including these nitwit cab drivers.
All they are asking is that the advertisements be removed.
Sheesh.
Would you force Jewish cabdrivers to drive cars with signs advertising "Nazi Games"?
Hey I click off any gay agenda film, programing including sitcoms. They are pushy and offend me. My choice. Agree with any ones choice not to put up with them. My disclaimer is two gay family members who say the same thing. they knew about this agenda in the 1980's told me to not let their nieces and nephew watch the sitcom's especially.

I do not see how this analogy works. The Nazis tried to exterminate the Jews--as in wipe them off the face of the earth. Gays are not interested in extermination of Muslims. Muslims just don't accept homosexuality. Should Muslims also refuse to take passengers such as women in revealing clothing?
A cab driver can be replaced pretty much instantly.
Not exactly a tough skill set to find out there.
I don't agree with that.it's not easy to replace a good cab driver, many cab companies have hard time filing cab driver position,the pay is not good,the work hours are unbeareable (12hrs/day,7days/wk),no medical coverage,poor insurance coverage,no retirement plan,no 401k.
You still have to have good driving skills,good knowledge of the city,be street smart,avoid crooks,avoid drunk customer that don't remember where they live,avoid high crime area.
The Somalis (Muslims) here in the Twin Cities have pretty much taken over the taxi & limo industry's. Once they took control of the airport taxi's they started refusing to take fares who were carrying duty-free bottles of alcohol. After refusing over 5,400 fares they were finally ordered to accept all passengers.
Also refusing females who have exposed arms or legs.
Also refusing calls if someone is going to or from a liquor store.
Also refusing transgender riders.
Also kicking gays out mid-ride for minor shows of affection.
The Somalis proposed a two tiered system where one line would be for people carrying alcohol & the other for everyone else. THANKFULLY the airport, city, etc said no and have instead implemented a 30 day suspension for 1st time offenders & 2 year suspension for 2nd time offenders. For now at least.
The obvious question is why are we importing Somalis? Exactly what skills or abilities are they bringing to this country that we don't already have? We need to start tightening up our immigration policies.
