OKLAHOMA CITY --- A Norman resident has sued to get a proclamation of his sexual preference on the Oklahoma license tag he displays on the back of his car.

But state officials have declined to provide 28-year-old Keith Kimmel with a vanity tag that says IM GAY, and now he's suing to get it.

I think this is the right thread....

I am overwhelmingly ambivalent.

The “stay the heck out of my life, Mr. Gummit” says “who cares if this guy says he is gay? Lots of people say it all the time, I don’t see it as any worse than “I Am Short.”

The homophage in me says “EEEwwww!”

Isn't he also suing Toyota to have them make the lettering on his say Priapus?

Why is the govt in this business at all, just make all the plates the same and people can buy bumper stickers-oh wait, gubmint wants the $.

I guess “disease ridden whackjob” wouldn’t fit on the plate.

Aren’t those pink ribbons about “breast cancer awareness”?

[MARTIAL MONK]

I sure wouldn’t ride around with that tag on my car.

It's probably safer than "You're Gay".

That one never gets old.

100% true but the same no matter what the message is. It strikes me as a relatively honest way for the gummint to get money (compared to things like taxes). You pay, they let you advertise yourself on your license plate.

It looks like there is one way in the back...

The entire truck is covered with pink "breast cancer awareness" ribbons. In any case, it certainly LOOKS gay. Same thing when NFL players were wearing pink caps and stuff.

You allow one plate, you have to allow them all. Put a plate on the front or a bumper sticker. Govt is deciding what is offensive to the general public, LOL.

I believe we are in agreement.

I see. A fat white guy gets to play the victim card. Maybe someone should start a theme park.

That was an enlarged cropped screen shot of the picture you posted. The ribbons were not nearly so visible in your smaller pic.
