CHICAGO (CBS) – A trade newspaper for the city’s taxi industry has threatened to out five aldermen who it claims are “secretly gay,” unless the City Council bans ride-sharing services like Uber, Lyft, and SideCar.

If ride sharing fails, the DOJ should swoop in and......oh wait. Chicago.

Why would these aldermen be ashamed of being gay? I thought gay was cool?!!


Chicago Tribune Reporter: " reports are that you are gay?"

Alderman: " That's right. Do you have a problem with that?"

Chicago Tribune Reporter: Crickets.

I'm assuming he is black. For all the stupid shite that the black culture accepts and praises, being gay is not one of those things.

“One company boasts that 40 percent of its drivers are women. Taxi driving is a male-dominated profession and it should remain that way. The last place for a woman is behind the wheel. If a woman needs a ride somewhere, she will only feel safe if the driver is a man,” he wrote.

Cab industry openly seeking crony capitalism. Nice.

At least they're honest about it. Points awarded for that.

I'm telling you, if this thing fails, I don't care if it's for a valid reason or not. Everyone associated with these threats should be drawn and quartered.

Unions are despicable.

I didn't realize black male was legal. It's really funny that they are doing this public.
