Label the proposed "Prohibit Straight Men From Driving" petition as an act of sexual discrimination.

Created by T.H. on May 29, 2013

In many public schools, there are dress codes that prohibit male students from wearing tank-tops, wife-beaters, and shorts that are deemed "too short," as these could distract homosexual male students.

If gay men can be this easily distracted by another man's body, then this raises a variety of safety concerns.

Many busy highways have billboards that use sexually suggestive imagery of men's bodies (i.e. Calvin Kline).

Men also often go about their everyday lives near roadways wearing tanktops and wife beaters.

If gay men (and men of other sexual orientations who are attracted to men) can be distracted by the mere sight of a man's body, then it is a public safety hazard to allow them to operate vehicles that weigh thousands of pounds at up to 75mph past these inevitable distractions.
