Even in the Conservative Legislation Lab, Progress

Next month, Indiana will become the first state in the union to offer an LGBTQI license plate:

The new plates will be available beginning in February throughout the state and feature six hands in red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple, which is the logo of the Indiana Youth Group.

That organization provides LGBT training for schools and service agencies and works to promote tolerance.


The specialty plate costs an additional $40 with $25 directly benefitting the group which provides training for schools and service agencies and works to promote tolerance.

The Indiana Youth Group had been trying to get the LGBT plate approved since 2010.

With the help of Indiana's American Civil Liberties Union, the Indiana Youth Group got their plate on the third try. Blub.

This is very big news in a state where "In God We Trust" license plates are used as standard plates.

If you would like to donate directly to the Indiana Youth Group, you can do so here.
