An Uber driver has been banned from the app after a woman says she kicked her and her girlfriend out of the car for being gay in an incident that was captured on video. 

Kristin Gauthier said she and her girlfriend were in Oaklyn, New Jersey, trying to get to a concert Friday when a peck on the cheek set their driver off and caused her to force the women from the vehicle. Gauthier recorded part of the encounter on her cellphone.

The women were about four minutes into their ride when Gauthier leaned over toward her girlfriend and said, “Let’s have a great night” before giving her a kiss on the cheek, she said.
