Hoosiers can buy specialty license plates supporting breast cancer awareness, juvenile diabetes research and Special Olympics. Now a group that serves gay teens is asking a federal judge to force the Bureau of Motor Vehicles to grant it a special plate.

The Indiana Youth Group -- twice denied in its request for a specialty plate -- says the BMV uses arbitrary and unconstitutional standards to approve or deny plates to nonprofits, according to a lawsuit filed Thursday in U.S. District Court.
