I haven't seen any indication that this has caught on here in New Jersey so I was hoping to hear from anyone who has seen this sign anywhere else. Also; lesbians may put "lambda" bumper stickers on their cars... is there any gay equivalent? (e.g. a "gamma" bumper sticker) Are there any other regional, covert flags that gays use to identify themselves?
