"Honk If You Like Discrimination" -- Don't get me started about the special-interest license plate trend. Fight cancer, support veterans, more money for public education -- OK, whatever. Then some states moved into more controversial territory -- "choose life", private Greek organizations, etc. Now the Commonwealth of Virginia is considering a "Traditional Marriage" plate. Brainchild of GOP state delegate L. Scott Lingamfelter (insert your own etymological joke here), this is supposed to...what? Encourage mass heterosexual monogamy? Wag the finger of the state at single parents, adoptive grandparents, gay families, childfree people? What a waste of resources -- if you're going to hijack the state revenue stream to promote bigotry, maybe you should pick a state that wasn't the battleground of interracial marriage. You know, the state that promotes itself as "For Lovers"? Sheesh. Here's one naughty design suggestion from a similarly disgruntled blogger...hee.
