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 said they decided to remove the posters , which were hung on around campus earlier this week , after consulting with university officials . The posters included profanity and promoted the event as a time to not highlight sexual orientation or differences among students . Posters promoting a 'straight pride ' week were removed from campus after student leaders said that they went 'way further than a free speech issue ' They encouraged students to 'go about your day without telling everyone about how 'different ' you are ' , according to WKBN . The anonymously posted flyers encouraged students to celebrate 'by not annoying the s*** out of everyone about your sexual orientation ' . 'Brought to you by the students that are sick of hearing about your LGBT pride , ' the posters read . 'Nobody cares about what you think you are , or what you want to have sex with . We have nothing against your sexual orientation . We just do n't give a f*** . ' Campus leaders at the approximately 15,000-student university said that while they believe the posters were meant as satire , the message was inappropriate . 'If you actually read through it , it seemed like it went way further than a free speech issue , ' said Student Government President Michael Slavens . 'There were swear words and took it a little further than the average free speech should go . ' Student Government vice president Jacob Schriner-Biggs agreed with Slavens . 'When you are talking about minority activism , it is very easy that if you are in the majority to say `` well , this sort of activism is not necessary . This sort of zeal in your activism is over the top '' , ' he said . 'For minorities who experience discrimination , that is not the case , ' It is believed by student leaders that the posters were satire , but they still missed the point of activism , a statement from the student government says . The posters counter the school 's mission to create a diverse campus , university spokesman Ron Cole told WFMJ . Officials are investigating possible student code violations , and disciplinary action may follow . A statement from the student government said while it respects free speech of all students , the posters were n't authorized , contained vulgar language and missed the point of activism . 'When individuals belong to dominant societal cohorts ( Caucasian , male , heterosexual , etc . ) it is very easy to state `` We have nothing against your sexual orientation '' and to claim that efforts to raise awareness are `` annoying '' , ' it read , according to Gay Star News . The statement continued : 'For minorities who every day face discrimination and marginalization , such efforts are necessary without zeal and persistence , sociology teaches that minority concerns very easily go by the wayside . 'Thus , dismissing the efforts of LGBTQIA students to push for equitable treatment as unnecessary is dangerous because it catalyzes discrimination , whether meant to do so or not . ' University officials are investigating into the posters , which were hung anonymously , and disciplinary action may follow .
