Ohio University Removes Posters for 'Straight Pride' Week
ABC News ^ | 2015-04-25 | Associated Press

Posters promoting a "straight pride" week at a northeast Ohio university were removed this week after student leaders determined that the message went beyond free speech.

Youngstown State University student government leaders told WKBN-TV they decided to remove the posters after consulting with university officials.

The posters were hung around campus earlier this week. They included profanity and promoted the event as a time to not highlight sexual orientation or differences among students. They encouraged students to "go about your day without telling everyone about how 'different' you are."

A baker has to baker a cake for a sham marriage.
A homosexual baker doe snot have to bake a cake with a Christian message.
Homo pride week is alright and to be celebrated.
Straight pride week is banned due to going too far in free speech.

Is there any one out there who does not now think we live in NAZI thuggery days?

To think there were some on here though mostly liberaltarians who said so what about their marriage it won’t affect us.

Well, I think that.

But I think this may be a case of NANCY boy thuggery as well. ;-)

Nothing new. Just keeps happening because they are allowed to get away with it.

Another example is the swat teams with battering rams busting into people’s homes in Wisconsin for being Republicans and no other reason.

Oh, they’ve always wanted to do that - they are just being more brazen about it now.

I guess in this case they can claim the profanity gives them an out.

They’re only tolerant when they proclaim it.

The Nazi era is in full swing at American colleges and universities, that's for sure. Speech codes, "safe places" for the delicate little snowflakes, and the banning of anything normal or American in place of everything abnormal and communist.

Then they will get out in the real world. Some will lose what was drummed into them, but many more will do their best to infect the rest of the world with their toxin. Past time to cut off federal student loans.

Being straight and happy about it must now be a hate crime.

Seems to me that Youngstown State University has a Hetrosexualphobe problem.
