It seems the popular go-to response from school administrations - who originally give permission for such productions with a semblance of gay characters or issues - that they pulled the plug based on 'lack of approval,' rather than saying that there was backlash from the community.

At least these kids took the initiative and took the production off school grounds, proceeding in a new venue with funds raised from Kickstarter.
