Move with Pride.
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 to live an open and authentic life, to love whomever and however they want, and to feel empowered to speak their truth.
Here are some initiatives that we are currently working on:
- Uber’s Help Center has a standalone discrimination reporting option to make it easier for riders and drivers to report incidents. You can find it in the Uber app and at help.uber.com.
- Our Community Guidelines explicitly prohibit discrimination, and everyone who uses the Uber app plays a part in helping make each experience feel safe, respectful, and positive. We will continue to ensure that everyone using our platform understands what’s expected when using our apps and commits to the guidelines.
- All customer support agents are given specialized training on bias and discrimination, with a focus on how to support transgender drivers and couriers. This enhances our processes of handling potential discrimination incidents.
- We’ve continued our ongoing commitments to providing free rides and meals to nearly 20 NGOs globally, including the Albert Kennedy Trust, New York City Anti-Violence Project, and San Francisco AIDS Foundation.
- We listen to, learn from, and engage with community members to better support those using our platform—and will continue to do so.
Pride comes in all colors
We’re proud to help shine a spotlight on the different communities, 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.
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.
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.
Pansexual
Describes someone who has the potential for emotional, romantic, or sexual attraction to people of any gender, though not necessarily simultaneously, in the same way, or to the same degree.
Queer
A term people often use to express fluid identities and orientations. Often used interchangeably with "LGBTQ."
Polysexual
A polysexual person is someone who is sexually and/or romantically attracted to multiple genders but not all genders.
Gay
A person who is emotionally, romantically, or sexually attracted to members of the same gender.
Agender
An umbrella term encompassing many different genders of people who commonly don’t have a gender and/or have a gender that they describe as neutral.
Lesbian
A woman who is emotionally, romantically, or sexually attracted to other women.
Asexual
The lack of a sexual attraction or desire for other people.
Bisexual
A person emotionally, romantically, or sexually attracted to more than one sex, gender, or gender identity, though not necessarily simultaneously, in the same way, or to the same degree.
Intersex
An umbrella term used to describe a wide range of natural bodily variations. In some cases, these traits are visible at birth, and in others, they are not apparent until puberty. Some chromosomal variations of this type may not be physically apparent at all.
Gender-fluid
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, this is a person who doesn’t identify with a single fixed gender; of or relates to a person having or expressing a fluid or unfixed gender identity.
Aliados de todos
Nuestro compromiso de promover un ambiente positivo y excepcional para cada personas se basa en el respeto, la confianza, la colaboración y los aliados.
Un aliado es alguien que apoya a otros grupos en busca de la igualdad.
Consejos para ser un buen aliado:
Aprende a escuchar.
Una cualidad importante para incentivar el diálogo positivo es escuchar lo que otros tienen para decir sin dar tu opinión.
Conoce la terminología.
Un buen aliado debe tener una inclinación por crear empatía. Es importante que aprendas el lenguaje correcto y que hagas preguntas cuando sea necesario.
Pregunta y aprende.
Es importante hacer preguntas de manera respetuosa en materia de género, orientación e identidad. No asumas que las personas tienen la misma orientación que tí.
Igualdad de oportunidades
La comunidad de Uber valora el poder de la diversidad y se enorgullece de ofrecer igualdad de oportunidades para generar ganancias en todo el mundo. Nuestro compromiso con el trabajo en favor de la igualdad de oportunidades y de la inclusión también está presente en nuestras políticas y en la cultura.
Sabemos que el progreso nunca termina y nos sentimos honrados de tener una calificación de 100 en el Índice de Igualdad Corporativa de Human Rights Campaign en los últimos 4 años.
Apoyo en todo el camino
Para aumentar la transparencia y la comunicación, lanzamos las primeras guías sobre transición de género para los empleados de todo el mundo en 2019.
También trabajamos para lograr una mayor inclusión de socios conductores y socios repartidores transgénero al esforzarnos aún más para ofrecerles oportunidades de generar ganancias.
