Two female students in Alabama were reportedly suspended from their high school after one asked her girlfriend to the prom.

The Alexandria High School student staged the promposal Tuesday at a talent show during school hours with help from another female classmate, according to AL.com.

Her girlfriend, who performed in the show, was not disciplined. The two students who planned the promposal, meanwhile, received in-school suspensions Wednesday after the incident, the site reported.

School officials reportedly called the talent show promposal a “disruption,” but students in attendance disagreed with the characterization.

“I was there when it happened,” senior Ashley Fadely told AL.com. “It was right after her performance. No words were spoken by them. They just got happy, hugged and that was it.”

Fadely slammed the suspension, saying she believed the school “decided to act out of hatred and intolerance.”

“If it was a male and a female student, nothing would have been done,” Fadely said.

School officials said Wednesday in a statement that legal constraints prohibit them from “discussing particular student disciplinary actions.”

The school did note, however, that reports “may have created a misimpression regarding the school’s rationale in responding to the situation in question.”

“Students, parents, and the public may be assured that the Calhoun County Board of Education remains firmly committed to guaranteeing its students equal educational opportunities in all phases of school administration, including student discipline,” the statement said. “Our investigation to date confirms that school officials have fully honored that commitment in this instance.”
