BGLTSA co-chair Michael A. Hill '02 said his group recognizes the diversity of the group's constituent population but did not intend to represent all students with the posters.
"Our current position is that we do not censor the speech and expressions of our constituency," said Hill, who noted that he did not want to restrict members' freedom of speech during a poster-making session last Thursday.
"We have had a number of poster campaigns and the only ones that have been successful are the ones that are sensational," he added. "Harvard students look at what catches their eye, and sensationalism catches their eye."
