Utah Woman Wins Appeal For 'GAYSROK' License Plate
http://kutv.com/topstories/local_story_208174426.html

A judge says the state of Utah can't block Elizabeth Solomon from using her license plate to tell the world "GAYSROK."

The plate can be read two ways, and she's fine with either: "gays are OK" or "gays rock."

Utah State Tax Commission Administrative Law Judge Jane Phan ruled against the state, saying there was no good reason to prevent the Park City woman from having that plate or another one saying, "GAYRYTS."

"The narrow issue before us is whether a reasonable person would believe the terms 'gays are ok' and 'gay rights' are, themselves, offensive to good taste and decency. It is the conclusion of the commission that a reasonable person would not," Phan wrote.

1. This is just as OK with me as a license plate that says GAYSSIN
There is no constitutional right to not be offended.

2. I'm for allowing anything.
I want a "FUCKYOU" license plate and if the anal-retentive bastard behind me doesn't like it he can drive into a ditch.

4. She may not have problems in Park City,
it tends be to a more cosmopolitan population, but almost anywhere else in the state I wouldn't risk it. Not on a car I valued. Indeed, there are plenty of places I would fear for my personal safety, actually, I do fear for my personal safety.
