Except they are. The ACLU claim is not only that the school canceled the prom because this girl is a lesbian, but that the scholl is villifying her for their canceling the prom.

Oh, and immediately after she approached the school to inform them of who she was bringing, they sent a memo to students that forbade bringing someone of the same sex. When she attempted to assert her rights, they canceled the entire thing instead.

Blatant discrimination, and likely a slam dunk case.
