Oklahoma rejects pro-LGBT license plate
“I thought that was a load of crap. I thought that was very uneducated, very bigoted, very discriminatory against a population that has long faced an unfair, unethical discrimination.”
— John Keefe, whose application for an Oklahoma license plate that said “LGBTALY” was rejected by the state’s tax commission. According to News9.com, a representative of the commission said the license plate was “sexual in nature.” Keefe has hired an attorney to appeal the decision.
