Utah woman can keep ‘GAYSROK’ license plate Judge allows woman to keep another similar plate, ‘GAYRYTS’
Updated: 2:44 a.m. ET July 28, 2005 SALT LAKE CITY - The state of Utah can’t block a woman from using her license plate to tell the world “GAYSROK,” a judge has ruled.
The state has no good reason to prevent Elizabeth Solomon from having that plate — which can be read “Gays are OK” or “Gays Rock” — or another one saying “GAYRYTS,” according to Jane Phan, an administrative law judge with the Utah State Tax Commission.
“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.
But I bet this licence plate pisses a lot of people off.

I remember a case many years ago where a guy in Virginia wanted to have "ZYKLON B" on his license plate, and actually got it before some people sued and the plate was recalled. It seems to be about the same thing, a political statement that is unpopular, but I guess the ZYKLON B plate could be construed as a threat of violence in the way that GAYSROK cannot be.

this is embarrassing, but all that comes to mind is the Cylons from Battlestar Galactica.
I don't get this one either: KOKROKR

Isn't it a spray paint? (Zyklon B)
Close.
It was the gas the Nazis used in the extermination camps.
Some dude went to court to fight for that?

Its a license plate, who cares? Plus, if this person paid extra to have it personalized, I do not see a problem with it. On the flip side, it should not be illegal for another paying individual in Utah to have a plate that reads "GAYSUK" or "STR8ROK" or something similar. It is a paid-for piece of property that expresses an opinion. By having such a plate, the user takes on the responsibility that people may gawk at them or tail-gate them, but so be it. Would I do it? No. Do I care if someone else does? No.
So I should be able to have a license plate that says "IKILNGRZ" in your world of absolute tolerance? That's ridiculous. You have to draw the line somewhere.

I like this one. Notice the foresight to use the Florida Orange as an "O"!!

I heard the guy from Warrant has "KOKROKR" on his plates.
i love you.
But I bet you'd love me more if I had a killer dragon tattoo like Jani.
that would be okay, but it's more the vest that gets me all hot and bothered.
Oh, I'm digging the HAIR...oh baby!
