A school has a right not to offer prom. A school does not have a right to deny prom because of the sexual orientation of one of its students. This is the reason the school is now being sued. Keep in mind, this same school was sued for allowing student led daily Bible teachings over the intercom

I do not see atheists going after Muslims with the hate i see for Christians.

What does any of this have to do with the issue at hand?

A gay couple at a prom in no way infringes on the rights of any other person to behave or believe as they wish.

The school did what it had a right to do cancel it, the kids and parents can have their own prom set how they want.
Nobody's making a Christian bring a same sex partner to the prom, though I'm sure that several of the same sex couples are Christians. Many of the same sex marriages in the District of Columbia have been performed by Christian ministers in Christian churches.

Perhaps your characterization of yourself as a Christian is incorrect?

Prom as a dress code. That would be a violation of said dress code.

Please point out anywhere where I personally showed hatered towards Christians.

I don't hate Christians. I respect their beliefs, even if I don't share them. Same with Muslims, and Mormons. The only ones who I don't like are the radicals who do try to force their beliefs on others through violence.

Which saying that this girl should be allowed to go to the prom with her girlfriend is not a violent belief, and in the end, harms nobody.

I have made no choices for you. the constitution grants us the rights to make out own choices. That means someone will make a choice you do not agree with, but it is still their right

The school had a right to accept the couple or cancel the prom . They made their choice. There is nothing in the Constitution that says this school had to have a prom

However, said choice cannot discriminate. The schools' original choice to bar her from going to prom with her girlfriend, even going as far to telling her that she would be kicked out of prom if she was with her at the prom period, was discrimitory. Which is why the ACLU rightly got involved. And then the school acted like little children who didn't get their way, and ruined it for everyone.
