    Gays are a danger in traffic

    because of their "sexual identity disturbance" according to italian authorities - though, court seems to disagree.

    Italian wins gay driving ban case
    Map

    An Italian court has ordered the government to pay 100,000 euros (£79,919) to a man who had to retake his driving test because he was gay.

    Danilo Giuffrida, now 26, told doctors he was homosexual during a medical examination for military service.

    The information was passed to the defence and transport ministries.

    Mr Giuffrida was told to repeat his driving test or have his licence suspended because of his "sexual identity disturbance".

    Mr Giuffrida passed his test for the second time but his licence was renewed for just one year rather than the usual 10 years because of his homosexuality.

    A court in Catania, Sicily, ordered the ministries to pay damages on the basis that Mr Giuffrida's constitutional rights had been breached and that homosexuality could not be considered a "mental illness".

    The judge said the actions of the ministries showed "evident sexual discrimination".

    Mr Giuffrida welcomed the sentence as "a step forwards for civil rights."

        I'd say gays are clearly a danger in traffic. Both gay men and straight women will stop and ogle them, causing massive pileups. It's nearly as bad as blonde women, and we don't let them drive unless they're adequately ugly, right?

            I never get banned for my fits of rage, I get banned for making the admin look bad with some of them.

            For instance, it's alright to go to town on Ben Kenobi or BlackCat or Winston, but not Locutus.

              That, I guess, is a question about interpretation

                      No problem - was your latest worse than your previous hissy fit ?

                        Look who is (a) off-topic and (b) pretending to be a big boy acting like they are a mod of the OTF.

                          Snoop, what country are you in where only ugly blondes get driver licences? Looks like the other blondes could use a lift. Would be a great job determining who is "ugly enough" and who isn't. A thoroughly corruptible position, I would think.
