<\/p>\nGay Couple Ordered Out of Lyft Car After They Kiss<\/b>
\n<\/p>\n
Ben Martella and Alec Jansen, a gay<\/a> Indiana couple<\/a>, were ordered out of a Lyft car after the driver became offended when they kissed.<\/p>\n The Indy Star<\/em> reports<\/a>: \u2018\u201dWe basically pecked, nothing out of the ordinary,\u201d said Martella, who\u2019s going into his sophomore year at Butler.\u00a0\u201cHe looked in his rear view mirror. He was yelling. We were stunned. We didn\u2019t know the reason for it. He said, \u2018I\u2019m going to end your ride. I can\u2019t have that in my car. I don\u2019t have that here.\u2019 \u2026\u00a0I was really upset. It was a big reaction for such a small display of affection between two guys<\/a>.\u201d\u2018<\/p>\n Lyft driver in Indianapolis orders gay<\/a> couple<\/a> out of his car after they kiss t.co\/6UdbM4cWlj<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/1MccG4PAyK<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 IndyStar (@indystar) May 18, 2018<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Jansen added that the experience \u201cdidn\u2019t seem\u2026real.\u201d<\/p>\n After Martella complained to Lyft, he said he received an impersonal email signed by someone named \u201cGeorge\u201d that said the company had taken action.
