    This would have been more effective in the 90s where people actually hated gay people.

    I’m not saying it’s right, or that I agree with it, but in the 90s it was socially acceptable to hate gay people.

    Today? Today this looks like an obsolete joke whose punchline no longer lands.

    Because I’m not gay, and I’m not a cop, but if I pulled this guy over as a cop, first thing I’d do is prey on this guys insecurities and homophobia.

    The bumper sticker no longer points fun at cops, but rather identifies the wearer of said bumper sticker as an asshole.

      People don’t hate the gays anymore? Ohhh shit. I never got the memo. I guess I can come out to my parents now!

      Yeah sit down straight guy. You don’t get to tell us the climate of tolerance.

      I don’t know if the average cop has made it into the 90s mentality yet. Where I grew up there is a greater than zero chance this still gets your ass beat.

      New Hampshire is usually ten years behind on trends but that would put this car in 2016 instead so still kind of bigoted…

      Then again, it’s New Hampshire…
