【Lady Moon】

Lyft is Lady Moonthe first ride-hailing app to ask what pronouns you use when you ride in a car, whether that's male, female, neutral pronouns, or other options.

The ride-sharing service announced Wednesday that starting today for LGBTQ Pride month (that's June) and going forward, riders can add pronouns onto their profiles, and choose from five different options:

1. They/Them/Theirs

2. She/Her/Hers

3. He/Him/His

Lyft's soon-to-be-former chief marketing officer Joy Howard said in a phone call this week that the pronoun addition is part of Lyft's "Two is Too Few" campaign calling out the gender binary engrained into our society. Lyft is adding pronouns to be part of creating an "inclusive platform," she said.

Starting today, you can update the app and input your pronouns, which will show up for drivers. "There's a sense of community in our app," Howard said. She said including the pronouns encourages safe, respectful, and pleasant conversation in shared trips or for chattier rides.

Pronouns are only the start of Lyft's Pride campaign. The newly public company is also offering name-change support for transgender drivers with the National Center for Transgender Equality, which includes $200 for name change fees and paperwork filing.

Ongoing support for the LGBTQ+ community comes in through Lyft's "Round Up and Donate" program, which asks passengers to give the remaining change from their fare -- say a $6.82 ride rounds up to $7 with 18 cents donated -- to different charities and organizations. A popular destination for round-up donations is the Human Rights Campaign. Passengers have raised $3 million since 2017 for the LGBTQ civil rights group.

Lyft will also embody its Pride campaign with a presence at 50 different Pride events across the globe next month. As Howard said, the concept behind "Two is Too Few" will come to life in honor of Pride.
