It's a matter of consideration. I'm not saying that it's good or bad that people express their beliefs, but I AM saying it is bad when it extends to their lisence plates which are displayed for all to see.

so i guess you would be offended is i had an "ILOVEJESUS" license plate?
oh no wait, that would be acceptable by society, correct? well i have news for you, outside of white trash bible beating redneck america, it IS socially acceptable.

So now that you've apparently made such a strong case for yourself, and is is socially acceptable... outside of this "white trash bible beating redneck america", perhaps you'd like to make a case as to why it's ethical?

Or will that require more than two sentences on your part?

im not writing a book here...dont care enough.
but i see you're proud of your little novel there. let me
know ehen it comes out on paperback.

anyway, i meant exactly what i said. if you wish to read more text,
just review my post about 50 times.

anyway, so long as they dont hurt anyone, why is it not ethical?
because your 3000 year old story book says so?

You're assuming I'm a Christian.

You of course, in your wisdom, know what they say about assumption, don't you?

Or do us redneck bible beating trash Americans know that alone?

you ARE a christian.
please dont try to BS me with PC.

and btw, i am also a christian. im sure you dont see
me as a "real" christian considering such a liberal view, but oh well.
point is, please dont pull the christian persecution routine

Actually, I'm done trading jabs with you. You're unreasonable and you came off as immediately antagonistic. If you lucky maybe someone else will come along for you to fight with.

sure, i take away your tried and true ammo, and off you run.
oh well 😂

btw, dont worry about 'assumption' since far worse concequences will come judging and persecuting others, im sure gays are included. 'let he who is without sin'.....you know

It's okay to be gay and do this and do that, but if a child and her friend holds hands to pray over their meal in school, they can be thrown out. Whose ideals are we championing here?

Ugh! How disgusting! How dare you say something that obscene and distasteful! If I want to hear about little children holding hands and praying I'll find the appropriate fetish web site on the internet!

You sir disgust me, and your statement should be censored.

Can you believe that in 2005, a state actually fought, and may continue to fight, the removal of a 'GAYSROK' license plate?

Seeing as the statement is "offensive" and "indecent".

It's sickening.
A license plate that represents acceptance, understanding and compassion is deemed "distasteful" by the heavily Republican/Mormon Utah government.

The only distasteful, indecent and offensive thing I see is the outrageous prejudice and hate spewed by the Utah government.

They are such hateful and close minded people that would forcefully prevent you from expressing beliefs they deem "obscene". In other words, compassion, respect, understanding and equality have no place in Utah.

Repulsive!

If you think about it, if she has the plate GAYSROK, then by the same law, someone can have a plate slandering gay people and such. Not to mention who knows her motives, it may be a joke and such, and if she's not really gay, it might be offensive to gay people, so they do have a point 😬

It's quite sickening how hateful some people still are. 😖

whats more sickening is how they lie about it and claim to be protecting rights and liberties and blah blah blah. i hate liars. may as well just scream "god hates f@gs" because thats what they're thinking.

at least an open loudmouth bigot holds true to one virtue: honesty

Absolutely! Those people who drive around with the bumper sticker that says "man + woman = marriage" are totally free to express that belief. That doesn't mean I don't want to ram them from behind. (no pun intended) But I also appreciate the fact that they have the right to express that belief.

Regardless of the womans sexuality, it's sad that Utah actually wasted tax dollars on deciding if it was okay. Whats more sad is that some one feels the need to support the gay community and has to do so by plastering it on their liscense plate.

I appreciate the sentiment, but a more effective way of supporting gays is to change peoples feelings about it. That simply isn't going to happen because of a liscense plate. I've never been riding down the street and seen a Bush sticker on a bumper and thought..."you know...he IS a good guy!" I can assure you, a well placed sentiment in a conversation with your friends is much more valuable to acceptance, than is a bumper sticker.

However, to put a positive spin on this situation, at least it happened in Utah and the outcome supported acceptance.

Darth Janus has pretty much extended my feelings through numerous paragraphs.

PVS, you chided me and called me 'arrogant' for allegedly assuming your beliefs, and yet you did the exact same thing here (whereas I made a legitimate mistake and admitted it). And you go off and insult Janus when you entered into an argument you know you cannot win... I will give you the benefit of the doubt and say that you couldn't see the forest through the trees of Darth Janus' post.

*Sighs.*

And, please, let's keep religion out of this as much as possible. Most of all, let's not argue liberal beliefs of some "Christians" against what the Bible says, as I am afraid I'll have to begin a tirade.

You know, if I had a license plate that said GAYZSUK or something, the situation would be flipped around.

no, i just refuse to accept a kernal of true belief buried under a pile of PC excrement.
if a post reeks of the classic "if we tolerate gays as well allow a man to screw his dog" arguement, then i will call it out. dont like it? well im not here to please you, so whatever 🙂

This is remarkably simple.

If Utah produces the plates, then it is doing so in the name of a public service.

A public service has absolutely no place taking a stand against any LEGAL practice or system. The right of gays to assert their pride is in law; the defamatory nature of attacking gays is also in law.

Therefore the Utah state had no business in challening this plate and would also have no business allowing one that sais Gays suck.

And twisting what Fishy said was a totally irrelevant red herring. Consent is a relevant issue when it comes to things sexual. It is NOT a relevant issue when it comes to murder. The comparison was poor.
