Nation's first LGBT license plate in Indiana

The state of Indiana has just introduced a license plate supporting an LGBT-friendly cause, the first plate of its kind in the country.

As shown above, the license plate displays the logo of the Indiana Youth Group, an organization that provides LGBT training for schools. The Youth Group has been working to get the plate approved since 2010, and the Indiana ACLU even sued the state’s Bureau of Motor Vehicles after the plate was denied twice.

The plates will be available in February and cost $40, with $25 directly benefiting the Youth Group. If you live and drive in Indiana, you should totally get one of these. I know I would.
