B and C are blatantly discriminatory because she is a lesbian and her date would have been one too.
Not sure what part of this you don't understand. If there's proof that the prom was cancelled to prevent a lesbian from attending with a date, the civil rights lawyers are going to have a field day. And rightfully so.

I understand it all perfectly well thanks, but that's not how a civi rights claim works. By canceling the prom for everyone they aren't treating anyone differently, which is a requirement of the claim.
