NC woman’s vanity tag called ‘poor taste,’ denied by DMV

GREENVILLE, N.C. (WFMY) — A North Carolina woman says her request for a specialty license plate was denied by the North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles for its “poor taste.”

Amy Bright requested a license plate “LSBNSNLV,” which roughly translates to “lesbians in love.” She wanted to express her love of her wife.

“I think that’s ridiculous I’m trying to celebrate the love I have for my wife so I don’t see how that’s in poor taste,” Bright said. “How can a celebration of love ever be in poor taste?”

The Department of Motor vehicles issued a statement in response to our inquiry that says they have the right to deny any license plate they deem “offensive to good taste and decency.”
