Sen. Scott McCoy is driving home a point about his nickname, "The Gay." He's putting it on his license plate.
The Salt Lake City Democrat, who is Utah's only openly gay senator, ordered a personalized license plate with his sexual orientation emblazoned on it. McCoy says he's keeping the white Ski Utah plate as a souvenir but he's not going to put it on his car.
"I think it's funny, but I don't want to reenforce that that's all I am," McCoy said Wednesday, noting he has standard plates on his vehicle now.
The term came from a Salt Lake Tribune story quoting conservative Sen. Chris Buttars' reaction to hearing that McCoy had been elected by Democrats to fill a vacant seat. "The gay?" asked a surprised Buttars, who then declined to comment. McCoy was elected by his district's Democrat delegates after former Sen. Paula Julander resigned for health reasons.
