We're not sure about you, but we are seeing red after listening to this audio!

An Australian couple's Saturday night Uber ride turned ugly when their driver launched a homophobic rant aimed at the two women.

Melbourne resident Lucy Thomas, who happens to be the CEO of anti-bullying organization Project Rockit, recorded the exchange and shared it on Twitter:

 

"Why do you think it's okay to use terms like faggot, Abo [an aboriginal slur], spastic retard while you're driving an Uber?" Lucy asked.

"I can do anything I want...When I write my report about two faggots who don't like being called faggots, then what are they going to say?"

The driver then demands that the pair get out: "If you don't, I'll get out and drag you out."

Uber Australia responded immediately and now the driver has been banned from working for Uber in future.

 

 

Lucy then received a beautiful message from another Uber driver sending their deepest sympathies:

 

We are outraged that this sort of behaviour continues to go in a time like this. Join the conversation on Facebook!
