Imagine sitting in the back of a cab and you kiss your partner. The cab driver begins to yell at you for being disgusting and refuses the ride. What would you do?
“Nolan Hill reported the incident to 311 and turned to social media after he says he was kicked out of a Calgary United Cab on Saturday evening.
“I was just kicked out of a taxi and told that I was disgusting for kissing another man. I have lived in Calgary my whole life, and have never been disrespected as much as I was tonight,” he stated in a Facebook post that has been shared and liked hundreds of times.”
“I am happy that people are talking about this. It is an important conversation to be having here in Calgary,” Hill said in the statement.”
It is difficult to use the words to describe this individual cab driver and his abusive behaviour to another human being. I am curious if a suspension or sensitivity training will teach the driver humanity and acceptance? Well done Nolan for taking back your power by speaking up.
