Need a lift? The heterophobic cabbie is happy to drive you to your destination. Assuming you’re not “a breeder,” that is. (His bumper sticker’s words, not ours!)
In a new video released by the taxi app Hailo, hidden cameras capture passengers’ reactions as they listen to their Irish cab driver make derogatory comments about heterosexuals.
“We don’t usually take heteros in the car, you know?” the driver tells one passenger. “Nothing against them. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not a heterophobe.”
“We have an uncle that’s straight,” he continues. “We don’t talk to him that much…It was Cain and Abel, you know? It wasn’t Jane and Abel.”
The whole thing is a prank, of course. It’s designed to combat homophobia and promote the same-sex marriage referendum in Ireland, which voters will decide upon this Friday.
Check out the amusing video below.

Fighting discrimination with discrimination even as a joke seems kinda backwards to me.

I think this is what is known as an educational video. Any opportunity for a “teachable moment” is a good thing.

The referendum on marriage equality is tomorrow and cabs that are linked to Hailo will bring passengers to the polling stations free if they pre-book!

@blackberry finn: LMAO, cute trolling. Maybe if you had any reading comprehension you’d know what I was saying instead of going “OMG he criticized white people which means he’s being r@cist!!1”. Idiots like you are exactly the reason so many people of color get fed up trying to have much needed race discussion with white people in the first place.

@Captain Obvious: theres no such thing as heterophobia so theres no discrimination
