I am Gay

gracendantho26

Watching the news I saw that a man is trying to get this written on his vanity license plate. Without considering your own feelings on homosexuality do you think this should be permitted?

summerbrideDC

sure.  Why not? 

Mrs.Tony

I see no problem with it. I am not aware of any restrictions on what people can put so why should this be an issue?

cnybride2be

I don't care.

I can't think of a reason why this wouldn't be permitted.

juniper19

Sure.  Especially when you consider that the same state allowed STR8SXI

DevonPow

I don't understand the question...why wouldn't it/shouldn't it be allowed?

I don't get what the "issue" would be...?

If the tool I saw driving a Bentley with the license plate 82KROI could get that on a vanity plate, I have no problem with this.

Can you translate this?  It's been a long day, apparently.

I don't get it either??  82KROI?

What's the problem?  I could understand restricting someone who wanted to use truly vulgar language (C U next tuesday, fvkc, etc.), but otherwise why restrict what someone wants on their license plate?

I am totally fine with him being gay and truly cannot care less and do not think that it is a "bad" word that should be banned so I guess so...my only concern is depending on where he lives is tolerance and if it could risk his safety but I guess it is no more unsafe than having a rainbow on his car announcing it.  So yes.

amanda&rob

Yes. 

And I don't get the 80kroi or whatever it was either. 

DevonPow

DH thinks it is "82K (thousand) return on investment"

brightning

Of course.

gracendantho26

I love how coy everyone is in their answer. LOL

They denied the plate and the petition so the guys is suing.

For some reason though all of these replies were a hoot. What! Why? What are you talking about? Are you a homophobe gracenantho? This is crazy talk? Discrimination..never heard of it?

 

Tanya_Alytta

I see no reason why it shouldn't be ok.

summerbrideDC

But what's obscene or offensive about it as a license plate? 

As for "coy" responses,I think when you post something like this w/o your own opinion attached, grace, it invites that kind of response, doesn't it?

Everyone knows the gay is catching, so vanity plates should NOT be allowed.  I mean, if you see that on a car, it would totally turn you gay!!!

Also: I don't think anyone was implying you were a closet homophobe, just expressing "why" b/c it's weird.  Vanity plates have crazy stuff on them, so why not "I am gay."  I saw one with "sexy b!tch" the other day.  On a Chevy Cavalier w/ a spoiler.  Rockin.

I meant to add mine in but then got totally distracted by dinner prep. Bad timing. I usually post my own 2 cents as a reply.

I just though there would be more dialogue versus curiosity as to why the question would be asked.

DevonPow

I in no way thought you were a homophobe or something. I still just don't get it. Maybe I am being obtuse...why did they deny it?

 Oh, I see what you're saying. but I think most responses indicate that there's really no discussion to have.  It's so inane that they denied him.

this is what I got from everyone's response.

And I agree w/ sbdc - it's hard to discuss, b/c it just seems ridiculous.  If I knew the reasoning, I could see there being more debate/discussion about the validity of the reasoning.

True.

i think it's stupid for the man to want it - because it might cause road rage, "hate crimes" etc --- but i don't think it should be illegal for him to have it- his choice - go for it.  Gay is not a bad word - i see no reason the state should not allow it.

wellfleet04

Devon, you win!  Of course Mike gets it   J and I got a huge laugh out of that one.  What a tool!

DevonPow

Woo hoo!!! Go Mike!  I got the 82K part, but was a little lost on "ROI", lol.

kertybird

Sure...who cares
