    You live in a student house with 18 other individuals. You all share one common room. One housemate is a Christian who grew up in a highly conservative community. One day, you hung up a sizeable poster on the wall of the common room which features two men kissing (it's an advertisement for a suit-store) because you like the poster. The Christian housemate expresses that although he thinks people have the right to be gay, the poster makes him uncomfortable and reluctant to go into the common room. He asks you and the other housemates if the poster can be removed.
