Exactly what I said wjtwet. If they want to hold a prom no one is stopping them from doing it off of school grounds. I bet though that quite a few parents would not allow their child to attend such a disgusting unnatural thing. Morality is a lost thing in this country.

I am sure they took your suggestion into consideration when they decided what was correct for their school and the kids that were under their care if something had happened during the prom. They acted correctly and put a stop to it.
The prom is a secular public event held on public property. There is no reason any particular religious group should be allowed to impose their "morality" on a public event. Therefore the school should have held the prom and welcomed the couple just as they would welcome any other students and guests.
We must preserve our individual freedom to be different in public affairs and events. Anything else is imposing an arbitrary morality on people that do not consider it binding on them. This was a public dance not a church event. I would never suggest that the government tell a church who or what they could allow or not at one of their closed private events. That is their business and the school prom is the government’s business.
TI – Your, or the church’s, disgust with the assumed “activities” of these two people in their privacy of their own bedroom, is completely irrelevant to the discussion of having a public prom dance.
The worst part of this is the 2 girls will never hear the end of it from fellow students about how they got their prom cancelled. High school is tough enough when you're straight. There's a reason gays have a higher suicide rate than straights

The same would have been true had the school allowed the couple,...they would have always been remembered as "the first same-sex couple" at the high school prom. There would always be that identity attached to the couple.
Is there a possibility that someone was looking for their 25 minutes of fame? The "Bible Belt" comment seemed to indicate a degree of rebellion against the system.

At the same time, I think the infamy and chastising would be worse known as the lesbians who got prom cancelled. Especially since no one really cares about what goes on during the prom (the after parties are what counts ). At my senior prom, I couldn't have cared less about a same sex couple.
