I think it would be far more productive to create a fair set of rules of conduct to prevent the behaviour they’re afraid ...

Makes you wonder why they are so afriad of. I mean do they think they are going to get naked and..... right there wth

While I do think that some of them are probably afraid of some explicit behavior from the girls, I also think that some of them are probably also worried about how the other students will react ...

If they already know shes gay what would be so different. Anyways I just think it is silly. I am sure they will say we are trying to protect her which is useually bs. WEll, she is what she is and does not wish to hide it,so get over it. Just my thoughts

I don’t doubt that that is probably the reality, but the people making the decision probably had a very different high-school experience than you are having. Having personally graduated at a time when bullying kids (in particular boys who were suspected of being gay) was considered part of “Boys being boys” I could understand the fear associated with allowing a same-sex couple going to a school event; but I do find it a little odd in part because when I graduated a lesbian couple would be (mostly) acceptable.

My high school was like that also. In fact you got bullied for not being a (rednecktype or jock type) it is sad, but again if they already know it really makes no difference. But all they are doing is backing up that same behavour. Dont tell they will hurt your feelings or well I guess worse. But again they all already know.
