He just started work 3months ago. He didn't mind his business in another man's country. He could have ignored them. I hope he gets his licence back in good time. Jobs are very scarce these days.

No. I don't think the taxi was his. All taxi belong to the union or organization. But the drivers are hired/ roasted to work certain hours in a day.

Isn't he accountable for the taxi? It's his for all I care..

So when you rent a house, you ain't accountable for your flat? Anyone can come and do anything cos it isn't yours? undecided... It's yours but maybe a liability cos you'll pay bk within a given period. ...

No man it doesn't work like that abroad at least not where i am.

Ok let me make it a bit clearer. Example a celebrity hired a driver to drive his or her car. Does it mean the driver own the car?

No single entity own a taxi abroad.just the way it work in Nigeria is quite different. An organization will buy cars and hired qualified drivers to drive them...

Except as i said earlier, Uber taxi which was privately owned but you have to register with that organization because it is technologically operated.

It's actually not an easy one. The forceful mainstreaming of homosexuality is going to cause all kinds of conflict.

Presumably he drives a vehicle owned/operated by a cab firm. He can't deny them a fare due to their "orientation", but I can appreciate how he would have taken offence when their homosexuality "was in view" and he was now somehow party to it - that's where I personally draw the line.

But he can't ask them to get out, moreso if they haven't violated the cab firms policy. Would he have acted likewise with a normal couple who were perhaps unmarried? Or even married sef??

He may have to decide if it's something his conscience can bear, or simply find other employment. I donlt see how htey'll be able ot make any accomodation for his objection at work. Canada is really heavy-handed on non-compliance with the prevailing homorthodoxy, so he may yet suffer further for his actions. I'm surprised there hasn't been a lawsuit.

they don't do it that way here. If someone rents your cab, even if they are having sex in the backseat, na to face front they drive.

This is a very strong lesson to countries like Nigeria and the rest who have not yet bowed down to the despicable lifestyle. This homosexuals are not just content with being tolerated they want to be very loud about it pushing it into peoples faces and crossing boundaries and woe betide you if you think otherwise.

It is an evil agenda to make this civilization a mockery.

Any act relating to sex should be kept out of the public view because the act could be disgusting to some people. ..

It is their way of torturing us for rejecting their evil lifestyle. They throw it in our faces defiantly to increase our disgust.

I guess inside a rented taxi does equate to private space.

Inside a transit bus might be something else altogether.

Some truth here. I agree with you.

They've been rejected too long. their victory is still fresh.
It is not Until nobody pays too much attention to the topic again that they will calm the exhibitionism down.
