Straight pride fliers removed from YSU campus

Leaders with the Student Government Association at Youngstown State University said they decided to act quickly this week when posters showed up on campus promoting “Straight Pride” week next month.

The posters contained profanity, which our station has blurred for viewers. The posters promote the event as a way of not showing the differences between students.

Campus leaders said while they believe the posters were meant more as satire, especially since no names were associated with them, they determined the flyers went too far with their message.

Would this be considered "straight shaming"? Sadly, this is a one way street and straights have no voice because......equality. Ever noticed the "captains bars" on progay car bumpers? Yup. Everybody gets equal treatment unless you disagree with our viewpoint.

With the profanity, I would suspect a troll operation. It isn’t needed.

And the “Church” for the most part, says nothing or encourages the pervs.

” With the profanity, I would suspect a troll operation.”

First thing I thought of. A legit one would never contain profanity.

After reading the flyer, I think it was authentic.

Of course the profanity didn't help, but I certainly understand why they used it given the context.

Youngstown State was correct in removing the posters. If students want to celebrate heterosexuality, they should be able to do so. But, vulgar language and so forth is bad form. Men and women enjoying being hetero, and the joy of bringing new life into the world, can no longer be taken for granted. The responsibilities of fatherhood and of motherhood, respecting and loving your partner in life, the usual role models of men and women, and how individuals might have different roles from the usual and still be hetero. All of these things and more would be make for a great week of celebration.

A form of “godliness” but denying its power.

Maybe as a result of this battle getting fought, the richness of the divine blessings on families will be rediscovered, instead of the possibilities being cynically taken for granted and rejected.

Sometimes we don’t miss the water till the well runs dry.

Who said college kids are smart? Not like the left have ever done a little trolling in the past to try to make conservatives look like the aggressive hater bad guys.

Well intended in one sense, but not able to actually do anything because it’s appealing to the same devil that has the “gay” movement going.

When the grace of God is gone the only thing to do that will help is to ask it back and that’s going to mean dropping a lot of presumption.

Oh dear. That's quite a mouthful.

Isn't Brownshirts much more concise - and accurate?

I agree. It was the LGBTABCXYZ community that put them up in the first place.

The following comment was at the top of the list, when I looked. It's an interesting take on things (i.e. one I hadn't heard before).

"F'N-AW • 3 minutes ago

As a straight white male you have to look for the silver lining to all this. Since many gay men seem to be attracted to better looking men they help to reduce the competition. Conversely most lesbians seem to run in the fugly family thereby taking two or more out of action and subsequently increasing the ratio of good looking women."

You’re absolutely right.

I’m thankful I was brought up in a Church that loved and feared God and taught that His Word is inspired of God because I can spot a false teacher/teaching a mile away.

Normal people have no "civil rights" to be pride! Only fags and other sexual deviants can be "proud".
