Description of Submission:  "When I went to college my mom asked if I wanted a different license plate since she was loaning me her car with a North Georgia license plate.  I went online to see what was available and just out of curiousity I looked to see if they had a gay pride plate.  Of course, there were none.  How could I have hoped for such a thing in the middle of the Bible Belt where Christianity still rules everyday laws?  So I made this license plate in honor of ones that aren't there but should be.  Most specialty plates have a specfic graphic other than the peach so I pulled the gay pride rainbow.  Also, specialty plates list the organization's cause they are supporting along with a catch phrase.  I chose "I'm normal tool" because it embodies hwo I wish to be treated as a bisexual female.  I want people to look at me and see a whole person, not just my sexuality.

Why Karen and Melody Liked It:
We loved the idea of making a Gay Pride license plate.  Too bad the states don't allow us to design our own plates.  This would really make a statement of support to all GLBT family members.  Jennifer had a really good idea.
