H 8 Gay

This came after complaints by a leading homosexual MP who claimed that the number plate H 8 GAY was offensive to homosexual people. [...]

Jocelyn Carr a businessman from Notting Hill, West London, made the initial complaint to the DVLA after he spotted the number plate on a car. He told the Daily Mirror: “I was amazed. I just couldn’t believe it had been allowed and I assumed it was being driven by a right bigot.” It turns out the car and its number plate is owned by a homosexual couple, who now live in France.

Not to be outdone by common sense and the law, Mr Carr referred the matter to Mr Bryant who is a well known homosexual MP who claimed: “If the DVLA sold H8 JEW or H8 WOG, there would rightly be a public outcry”. As a result the DVLA did withdraw the number and the homosexual couple who owned it said it was purchased as a joke and that they did not intend to offend fellow homosexuals. (source)

It amazes me just how stupid some of us are. This license plate says only one thing to me - that the owner hates gays. Pretty logical. So, some people in Britain complained that it was espousing hatred, and should be revoked. Authorities disagreed at first, but changed their minds after being asked if “H8 Jew” and the like would be allowed.

As it turns out, a gay couple who now live in France got the license plate as a joke. What kind of sick joke is that? Hating gays leads to violence and death to gay people. For gay people to come up with this as a joke is pretty sick. Or perhaps they have a warped sense of humor and have never been on the receiving end of that hatred?

Sometimes I think we are our own worst enemies.
