Lyft driver in Indianapolis orders gay couple out of his car after they kiss

[TexasTowelie]

The Lyft driver picked up Ben Martella and Alec Jansen at Butler University and didn't say anything during what was supposed to be a ride to Broad Ripple.

That is, until they kissed.

At a stoplight on the corner of Meridian and Westfield, around 5 p.m. on May 5, the driver ordered the gay college couple out of his car.

"We basically pecked, nothing out of the ordinary," said Martella, who's going into his sophomore year at Butler. "He looked in his rear view mirror. He was yelling. We were stunned. We didn’t know the reason for it. He said, 'I’m going to end your ride. I can’t have that in my car. I don’t have that here.’ ... I was really upset. It was a big reaction for such a small display of affection between two guys."

Said Jansen, who's going into his junior year at Purdue, "We gave each other a short kiss on the lips. ... I was just surprised the whole thing happened. It just didn't seem like it was real."

4. Hi I am your local pharmacist...

.... no I can not dispense birth control or the morning after pill because it is against my strict religious convictions.

The gift of child birth is a gift from God and we have no right to meddle in God's plan for procreation in any way, shape, and/or form. It must be a total natural occurrence without mankind meddling and messing with God's natural order and plans.

Now Cialis and Viagra for male erectile dysfunction is a-okay okie dokie. When a man gets the urge for sex you can't get there unless you have a raging hard on. Fuck God's natural order of things - pop a blue pill - and squirt your love pudding on the ceilings and walls, and God could give a shit less your reproductive bodily fluids were wasted on plain old fashioned raunchy raw sex. As a pharmacist I am obligated to fill your pharmacological needs without personal or religious convictions getting in the way of your planned sex orgy.

Patriarchy is almost as good as being crowned king - special dispensations always coming your way.

This is a man's world - woman are mere chattel. Shut up and bake some cookies.
