Two lesbian students have been banned from holding hands at a Florida high school, which is also threatening to suspend them.

The couple claim it's a double standard as straight couples are allowed to hold hands. They are also upset their principal at Blanche Ely High School in Pompano Beach outed them to their parents.

One of the girls told the South Florida Times: "We were walking to class when he rolled up on his golf cart and said, 'Didn’t I tell you two to stop doing do that?' and then he took us to his office.

"He gave us a speech and then separated us before calling our parents, which was wrong. My mother already knew but my friend’s [mother] didn’t know she is into girls."

The mother of one of the girls has accused the school of discrimination, but the school's Superintendant has backed the principal, saying he was within his rights.
