US State bans GAY plate


Keith Kimmel passed away before he could challenge the Oklahoma Tax Commission in federal court over its 2009 rejection of his "IM GAY" license plate. They have now disclosed the reason why he couldn't have the personalized number plate about his sexuality: It was considered too offensive.

For the same reason "SEXYBRD," "V8BALL," and "NOFTCHX" were denied to drivers wishing to make their vehicles more distinctive, "IM GAY" was among the "curse words, sexual connotations, racial and ethnic slurs, and drug or alcohol references" Tax Commission staffers watch out for. What about BIGUYS or BEARLVR?
