A tweet posted Monday morning by Paul Fulton, Jr. identified an official Alabama license plate that read “N0H0M0,” raising questions about whether the state tolerates such language on its license plates. “No homo” is a phrase used to distance an individual from any implication that the individual might be gay, and its offensive connotation led to a $75,000 fine when the Indiana Pacers’ Roy Hibbert used it in a press conference last year.

The picture of the license plate was actually taken by Scott Johnston, a Facilities Manager in the Atlanta, Georgia area. He spotted the plate in an office parking lot, telling ThinkProgress that he was “first shocked, then angered” that Alabama would permit such a plate to be issued. “How could they allow outright discrimination to be published on a state license plate?”
