INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - An Indiana gay-youth advocacy group has decided to seek legal help and fight to keep its specialty license plate.
The state Bureau of Motor Vehicles announced last week that the Indiana Youth Group lost its right to have specialty license plates by trading low-digit plates for contributions.
That came after 20 Republican state senators complained to the agency about the group's handling of the plate.
Youth group director Mary Byrne tells The Indianapolis Star that the organization's board decided Tuesday night to do "everything possible" to get the plate back.
The group maintains it is a common practice among Indiana's some 100 organizations with specialty plates to give out low-numbered plates as thank-you gifts.
Conservative activists lobbied legislators against the youth group having a specialty plate.
