Saw this in the Licence Plate thread . . .

Spoiler - Short version of article:

You may have seen the photo circulating on social media the last few days, chalking the image up to another online hoax.

Turns out, its' not.



On Monday, Twitter user Paul Fulton Jr. posted a photo of a black Mustang with an Alabama license plate that says "NOHOMO." Fulton said the photo was taken in a parking lot in an Atlanta suburb but some on social media questioned if it had been altered.







However, Amanda Collier, spokesperson for the Alabama Department of Revenue, confirmed the tag saying "NOHOMO" does exist and was approved by mistake.



"By law, the issuance of motor vehicle registrations is not centralized and must be processed at the county level. However, the Motor Vehicle Division of the Alabama Department of Revenue does hold the authority to approve personalized messages on license plates," she said.

It seems to me that the car looks sort of gay (NTTAWWT) . . . and the owner wanted to make it clear which direction they actually swing . . .



Afterall, if I post something that could be interpreted in a homosexual manner, I'll post "no homo" as a disqualifier to that post . . .



What says the AO? Is NOHOMO = homophobic?
