Isn't this the state where gay marriage is legal?

This young lady wanted to bring her date to the prom at Bishop Feehan High School in Massachusetts, just like every other senior in the school. The problem is her date is of the same sex. The reason given of course it that it is a catholic school. The principle said it isn't discrimination. He says we don't discriminate against gay people. This is about 'gay sexual activity."

So, being gay is not against the laws of the catholic church just the sexual activity. Well, isn't pre-marital sex against these same laws? Under this reasoning the prom should be cancelled. Fraternization of boys and girls is not against these laws, just the sex.
