During Pride Month—and every month—we believe that everyone has the right to move freely, safely, and without fear.
We’re dedicated to supporting our community in living an open and authentic life, loving whomever and however they want, and feeling empowered to speak their truth.
Meet Uber employees who Move with Pride

Feeling that people value me for being exactly who I am gave me the strength that I need to go through the daily challenges of being a transgender person. Uber taught me that it’s only by knowing and listening to people with different experiences and backgrounds that it is possible to set the world in motion.

For me, Moving with Pride means giving everyone the chance at love that they deserve and ensuring that others see me standing up not only for my rights but also for others.

Ways Uber supports the LGBTQIA+ community
Affirming transgender rights
We partnered with Right To Be and the National Center for Transgender Equality to sponsor the creation of a new transgender-specific bystander allyship workshop. Learn more about the Right To Be organization here.
Uber’s Gender Transition Guidelines help transitioning employees, their managers, teammates, and HR professionals have the knowledge and resources needed to help ensure a positive experience.
Standing up to discrimination
- Our Community Guidelines explicitly prohibit discrimination, and everyone who uses the Uber app plays a part in helping to make each experience feel safe, respectful, and positive. We’ll continue to ensure that everyone using our platform understands what’s expected when using our apps and commits to the guidelines.
- Users can report discrimination directly through the Help section in the Uber app or at Uber’s online Help Center (riders can visit this page; drivers, this page).
- All customer support agents are given specialized training on bias and discrimination, with a focus on how to support transgender drivers and delivery people. This enhances our processes of handling potential discrimination incidents.
Strengthening our community partnerships
We’ve continued our ongoing commitments to providing free rides and meals to nearly 20 LGBTQIA+-related NGOs globally, including Albert Kennedy Trust, San Francisco AIDS Foundation, and TransAmsterdam.
We listen to, learn from, and engage with community members—and will continue to do so—to better support all people using our platform.

Uber’s mission is to make movement happen at the tap of a button. This movement gets amplified when we are inclusive, and #MoveWithPride is exactly that—reducing barriers and giving a part of the community a chance to be well represented.

I have never felt the need to hide myself at work—everyone has been so welcoming, and no one assumes anyone else’s sexuality, which I really appreciate.

Pride comes in all colors
We’re proud to help shine a spotlight on the flags, sexual orientations, and gender identities that represent some of the colors across the LGBTQIA+ community. *

Genderqueer
Genderqueer people typically reject notions of static categories of gender and embrace a fluidity of gender identity and, often, though not always, sexual orientation. People who identify as genderqueer may see themselves as being both male and female, being neither male nor female, or falling completely outside these categories.
Intersex

Lesbian
A woman who is emotionally, romantically, or sexually attracted to other women.
Non-binary
An adjective describing a person who doesn’t identify exclusively as a man or a woman. Non-binary people may identify as being both a man and a woman, being somewhere in between, or falling completely outside these categories. While many also identify as transgender, not all non-binary people do.

Polysexual

Queer
A term people often use to express fluid identities and orientations. Often used interchangeably with "LGBTQ."
Transgender
An umbrella term for people whose gender identity and/or expression is different from cultural expectations based on the sex they were assigned at birth. Being transgender doesn’t imply any specific sexual orientation. Therefore, transgender people may identify as straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, etc.
