I'm sorry, I think this trivializes real concerns that impact a significant number of people. It is not hard to imagine a setting in many major cities around a world where a banner like this appearing during a presentation or training session could cause problems. I am not the source or enforcer of such rules -- but I am responsible for ensuring I comply with them.
I don't know where you live or work or travel but is in insensitive to dismiss this as a non-issue for everyone that uses go. To the extent it is an issue it's a local legal issue. In that way the go code of conduct isn't the primary concern.
