Although it is worth noting the story has taken a depressing turn for the worse.

The article mentions that he already announced that he was gay in the social media. So what is the problem then?

Superintendent Haynes says: “We must make decisions that lead in the proper direction for all of our students and for our community,” How is that conflicting with the direction and decision making of the students and the community? I'm sure the straight students will still be straight and that won't affect them.

Also, she mentions: “We must not make decisions based on demands by any special interest group.” Ellis wasn't making any demands to have his story included in his yearbook. Well, not before they removed it, anyway.
