GAYRYTS? I think you can get a shot for that. Maybe one of those over-the-counter zinc sprays would help.

Don't be a Dork, yelling fire in a theater is not the same thing as running a vanity plate that says the person is fine with gays. You all grab and moan when they try to ban vanity plates with scriptures on them and that is fine, they should be allowed and so should this one.

BTW our constitution has several amendments beside the the first which gaurantees us certain rights, even though those rights may not be spelled out in detail.

Among those rights are the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I guess that pursuit of course is up to what YOU think it should be.

I do not think queers should be married, I do think they should be able to express themselves on vanity plates as long as the wording is clean. Gaysrok is not a dirty expression except in some peoples minds. You evidently hate gays, and I can sympathize with that, but freedom is freedom. You have the right to critisize them, they have the right to say they rock.

Of course your double standard won't allow you to admit it.

If this sort of plate is allowed (personal opinion) than GAZEVIL or GAYS-NO should be allowed too. Can't have one without the other if personal opinion is the deciding factor.

Freedom is the deciding factor here, and yes if they can say they rock we can say we don't think so. If they allow this they can hardly strike down a plate that says gaysno. Of course each state is different and how one state rules will not affect another state.

BTW, most vanity plates are a matter of personal opinion, even religious ones. I have read a lot of freepers comments about how certain plates were banned until the people who wanted them put up a huge fight. These plates were religious in nature. Now, however, a person who wants to say gaysrok is critized and ostracized for expressing themselves. Double Standard.

Can't allow freedom for some people and not allow it for others else we are no better than the communists we so detest.

Wrong. If I want MY OPINION on my car, I'll use a bumper sticker.

even though those rights may not be spelled out in detail.

Ahhhh. A "living" document.

You evidently hate gays

My brother is laughing. Guess why.

Of course your double standard won't allow you to admit it.

My only "standard" is not pushing unnatural sex as "ok".

So you believe that plates stating sex with dogs is ok and would back a plate that says abortionroks.

My brother wants to know how'd you would answer what the plate says if a child asks. Explain it to a 5 yr old.

There was a similar case with a license plate that got to the Vermont Supreme Court over a plate with the word "Irish" - the lady with the plate prevailed 3-2.

So true. As a father trying to raise kids these days, I don't want any plate which refers to sexual orientation. But if liberal administrative law judges want to take us down that route, I'd say a strong reaction is warranted.

My gay brother agrees. He said there's enough crap pushed into their little heads and doesn't think this should be too. The "gay movement" offends my brother as he believes his bedroom is no ones business.

Does your 5 year old read? Most don't. If one could and asked me I would say it was something he/she would learn about later when he/she was older. What do you say to children when they ask you about how children are born? Do you lie? Tell them they will find out later? What?

You can also say that some people live differently than others and leave it at that. Most 5 year olds have an attention span of about 2 minutes.

MY brother wants me to ask you "Why don't you believe in the constitution for everyone?" . Seems he thinks you only think it applys to certain people.

This is your example? Comparing something unnatural to something that was a purposeful design? Explaining the two are NOT the same. I told my kids that a Mommy and Daddy that love one another have babies. What do gays have. (My brother laughed when I read that to him and he said they have nervous breakdowns)

I would say it was something he/she would learn about later when he/she was older.

Do you even have kids?! Answers like that DO NOT work.

Most 5 year olds have an attention span of about 2 minutes.

You can't have spent much time around kids.

You can also say that some people live differently than others

And open the can of worms more. And it's not "different". The only thing that separates man from animals is morality.

MY brother wants me to ask you "Why don't you believe in the constitution for everyone?" . Seems he thinks you only think it applys to certain people.

Are you a gay in hiding? You sound like it. The Constitution does not guarantee ANYONE the right to advertise sexual preference.

And you don't answer questions, just keep pushing your agenda. I find that intereresting.

Enough already... Homosexuals are disordered... You are now advocating rather than observing...

I wonder if the court will allow a license place that reads "GODROCKS"? Or how about "LUVJESUS"? Or maybe something simle like "LEV 18 22"?

Oh wait...that would be "hate speech" against the oh-so-hallowed gays, wouldn't it?

That would not be hate speech, that would violate the 'separation of church and state' thingy in the constitution, since the gov issues license plates. :)

Somehow I suspect that a gay's response to that would be "Why yes, yes we do..."

The sexually disabled like to brag about their condition.
