Homophobic Uber driver brutally assaults married gay couple after they hugged in his car

An Uber driver went on a homophobic tirade against a gay New York couple and dragged one of them in his car for half a block. Now, the embattled couple has shared details from their horrifying ordeal. On Tuesday night, Taray Carey and his husband Alex were riding in Manhattan's East Village with a friend when Denis, their driver, allegedly launched a verbal and physical assault on them, Daily Mail reports.

"Tonight I was thrown out of an #uber by a homophobe," Taray, a real estate agent and city contractor, wrote on Facebook. "I tried to step out, and he gunned it while my husband was still in the back seat. My friend jumped out when we got to a red light, while the #Uberdriver continued to call us f****ts, and told us we would be beheaded in his country. This is not ok!"
