A high school in Florida has come under attack on social media for suspending a student for starring in footage posted on gay porn website.

A blog site has reported that the 18-year-old student was suspended for 10 days for causing a "campus disturbance". The suspension led to the student missing classes and failing his graduation, according to the blog.

According to the Gaily Grind, a cousin of one of the student's classmates said on the social media news site Reddit: "He got severely bullied and, instead of helping him, the school will not let him graduate due to him causing a “campus disturbance.

"Several students planned to protest by wearing support shirts, making posters, and skipping a class. The principle [sic] is threatening to automatically expel any student who joins in."
