    Good for t hose two claimants! GAY does not necessarily mean homosexual and, even if it is, so what? As for Muslim, your writer's NY license plate since 1986 reads HYEM YES. That is Armenian for "I am Armenian." However, some wise guy in Montreal applied for and received TLHAS TIZI for his Mercedes at least a decade ago. That is translated from Arabic to be LICK MY ASS. Now, that is inappropriate but someone in his local DMV does not know Arabic, obviously.
