Pink Plates Proposed For Sex Offenders Yellow Plates Already In Use For Drunken Drivers POSTED: 5:33 p.m. EDT April 27, 2005 UPDATED: 7:59 p.m. EDT April 27, 2005 Story by nbc4i.com COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Some Ohioans convicted of drunken driving can be seen driving vehicles with yellow license plates. If one Ohio lawmaker has his way, sexual predators could soon have to drive vehicles with pink license plates, NBC 4's Erin Tate reported. The bright yellow license plates help law enforcement officers recognize drivers with multiple DUI convictions. "We've sold over 16,000 in the past five years," said Fred Stratmann, of the Ohio Department of Public Safety. The pink plates could help notify police -- and parents -- of another type of offender. "It identifies them," said Rep. Michael DeBose, (D) 12th District. "The primary reason they can prey is because they're camouflaged from who they really are." DeBose introduced a bill this week in the Ohio House suggesting mandatory pink license plates for sexual offenders so children know to stay away, Tate reported. "There's such a problem -- around rec centers, parks, school yards," he said. "There's no way to identify them and to protect children." DeBose wants tough penalties for sexual predators who try to disguise themselves by removing their plates. The Ohio Department of Public Safety isn't sure a sexual offense warrants a special plate as much as a drunken driving conviction does, Tate reported. But DuBose said this crime deserves the color. "It may act as a deterrent to keep them from driving around and causing trouble," he said. Nice choice of color..... buttholes

Also Michael DeBose voted for the ohio anti-marriage bill. Well pink plates, nice color choice. The only reason he has chosen that color is to spite the glbt community. The enemy finds anything that they can use to dehumanize us. And what a better way than taking our color and associating it with sex offenders. The christian right already has the stupid masses believing that we all are sex perverts and child molesters. This just adds fuel to the fire. The common people who are not educated about our people will see this plate and see our symbols and make the generalization that we are sexual perverts since the LAW has associated our color with this. Wow this really gets to me!

Yep.....and this one of the many reasons why "mixing it up with the str8s" is so important. Kacer and I both debate our "allies" on the hetro gun boards all the time. And have won quite a few over from the all LGBT's are child molsters bs. They may not be ready to vote down a ban on gay marriage, but they do look a us alot different then they way they did. ;D
