Oklahoma Not OK With “I’m Gay”: Should You Be Allowed To Display Your Sexuality?

People who pay more attention to license plates than the road?

In that case we would have to disallow any custom plates.

When you're sitting in traffic at a light, dimwit, then one's eyes "naturally" focus on the car in front, or do you take a nap at lights?

I was making a joke.

And I was having fun with you. :-)

We need a joke font dammit!

Hm, I think it's pushing the envelope to get a license plate that says such. But than again, supposedly straight men hang "balls" from their trucks, as if that's not offensive, immature, and totally gay.

lol

Straight men seriously hang "balls" from their trucks? xD

i dont care. you're gonna find out anyways. but it can get annoying

Honestly, who is going to go around reading license plates? What type of person gets offended by something on a license plate?

actually lots of people wit time on their hands read license plates. EVER BEEN ON A ROAD TRIP??

Yes I have, and I can tell you that I've never spent time looking at people's license plates.

But why would it offend you?

cause lots of people including me look outside and don`t want 2 c ``im gay`` on a licence plate. it is really creepy!! no one cares wat ur sexuality is if they don`t know u

I understand you may not want to see it, but how does it offend you?

my religion does not recomend dat kind of thing, we would let them come 2 our church but we do not tell people we r ok wit dat kind of thing

Because your religion does not recommend it, you find it offensive?
So do you find it offensive that other religions have places of worship? I am sure your religion recommends against that even stronger.

And as far as telling people you are ok with that ... you are not - he is stating he is gay not you or your church.

Waiting... you're the bomb, you rock.

Thank you :)

Common sense tells us that homosexuality is abnormal, God tells us we're right. The gay lifestyle is against humanity, just as stealing, murdering, incest, polygamy, and bestiality. So, yes, "offensive" is a nice way of saying that.

I disagree that common sense tells us that homosexuality is abnormal - maybe we have a different definition of abnormal - what is your definition?

Your god telling you that you are right does not give you the right to discriminate.

Your religion is between you and your god not you and others.

Maybe we have a different definition of "common sense", then.

I don't "discriminate", but I do have an opinion on the subject. My beliefs (aka values), sir, make up who I am as a person, so they do direct how I treat others and how I behave as a citizen. To say that my beliefs are not between me and others is silly and shows a lack of understanding about people. Everything we believe directly or indirectly affects how others perceive us and how we relate to others.

You didn't define abnormal.

We are not talking about what affects your behavior, but about rights.

When I said your religion is between you and your god I meant that the rules that you live by based on that should not be forced on others who have different or no religion.

I'm not forcing anything on anyone, just giving an opinion. Is that okay with you? Am I needing your permission?

You certainly don't need my permission to have an opinion.

You said "Common sense tells us that homosexuality is abnormal, God tells us we're right. The gay lifestyle is against humanity, just as stealing, murdering, incest, polygamy, and bestiality. So, yes, "offensive" is a nice way of saying that."

You didn't say that you think it is abnormal. You were claiming it was abnormal and that if people didn't agree with you they don't have common sense.

One can have common sense in some areas and not in others, or were you not aware of that?

Gay people have the same rights as straights; they just want "more" or "additional" rights.

Then you claim I have a failing in my common sense.

They don't want additional rights. What additional rights do you think they want?

u don`t go 2 my church so how does it offend u?!!!!! and y r u tripping over my churchs rules even though u don`t go 2 my church. and yes i find it offensive!! i stick 2 my church`s rules like glue. and just because u don`t obligate urself 2 ur church does not mean i have 2 do da same!! and by the way even if i didn`t find it offensive i still think u should keep ur sexuatlity 2 urself bcause no one cares if they do no know u!!!! and no i do not find it offensive that other religions have a place of worship because all religions should have a place of worship!! and i clearly remember saying and i quote `` my religion does not recomend dat kind of thing, we would let them come 2 our church but we do not tell people we r ok wit dat knid of thing`` meaning we would let da person come 2 our church but we r not ok wit that he likes men and he is a man. and last time i checked u arernt a shrink!!!

When did I say your religion offends me?

You don't even know what my sexuality is.

I don't care what sports team people like either and yet they wear it on their shirts and hats.

Not worshiping other gods is one of the most important laws within Christianity and yet you are fine with that, but not with homosexuals - hmmm. Methinks there is more than your religion to this.

I have no idea how you know I am or am not a shrink and I have no idea what bearing that has on this.

u know wat, i don`t frigging care wat sexuality u r!! i don`t know u and i don`t want 2. and methinks dat u need 2 need 2 shut ur piehole cause u don`t know a tyhing about my religion. and u r da one who brought religon in 2 dis so don`t start dat crap wit me! and me also thinks u need 2 get grammar lesson cause u don`t start a sentence wit me!! back 2 da point. u might as well be a shrink considering dat i can`t even understand half of the things u typed. and maybe people just want clothes and they do not care wat sports team it has on it. do u even understand our economy in da U.S.??!!!!!!

Does your religion also recommend your bastardization of the English language?

r u suggesting i`m a bastard? and wat does the english language have 2 do with anyhting? i answered this a friggin year ago !! get over it!!

I'm sorry. Do you not understand what the term bastardization means? No, I'm not suggesting that you're a bastard. I'm suggesting that you have bastardized the English language. The English language has everything to do with it. If you sound like an ass when you speak - or type - how can anyone take you seriously? Perhaps you should consider that before you spew your opinions elsewhere. You're not giving your religion a good name.

I play the "50" states game on road trips.

Some people though, will go out of their way to get offended, hell, I still post here...

People with good taste (class) get "annoyed" with idiots and their bumper stickers, curb feelers, hanging dice, and licenses with lewd messages. It reminds us of how our country is going to the dogs, and life is challenging enough as it is without having to be reminded.

No. For his own protection. I was nine years old and seen a gay man beat to death for just putting his hand on a kids knee. No one was charged for the crime. Has'nt changed people don't like gays period.

Wow. It is sad how no one was charged.

Happened Sixty years ago. A bunch of teenage boys did it and the sad thing a constable drove by and ignored what was going on. A constable was law enforcement when you could'nt afford a sheriff. The man layed their for about three hours before someone took him away. Probaly dropped him in a mine shaft. This is only one incident I won't even go into what happened to gays when I was in the Navy. So they should be counting their blessings.

Thanks for the stories.
Maybe they should count their blessings, but it should also make us understand them more and why the sometimes want to shout out that they are gay.
