These should be called the Pedo Plates. The slogan at the bottom should say, "why don't you take a seat over there." Dumb dumb dumb

So when a gay gets in a car accident caused by another person, will the at fault party be charged with a hate crime?

If any of you would read the article, these are not specialty plates made for gay youth to use, they are plates that anyone can pick which will donate money to the Indiana Youth Group, a group that offers support to LGBTQ youth.

I read the article as I am sure others have. Most are just being humorous. But knowing people most will assume if you have one of those plates on your vehicle, You're are batting for the other team.

Studies have shown that LGBT youth are significantly more likely to commit suicide than heterosexual youth. I think they they deserve support.

What is more important would be defeating the intolerance of those who attack them. They don't commit suicide because they're gay. They do it because people are intolerant of it.

Do you really consider having the ability to own a rainbow license plate qualifies as "support". What's next? Cracker Plates? Hip Hop Plates? This is stupid to the nth degree.

How does this make them special?

The support is the funding that goes to the organization that helps gay youth obviously and not the plate itself.

All these specialty plates are a crock of shit. Just a way for the state to sucker the fools into handing over more cash to them.

You would think being a teacher (although a gym teacher) he would know this.

I had the window open typing the reply for a while (I went and ate a bit, it didn't take me a while to type two sentences. Even I'm not quite that dumb) so I didn't see that.
