"How about if it were held in a strip club, bathhouse, gambling casino or someplace else really "sinful"?"
I'm not sure I understand how a physical structure can be "sinful".

Good point.
Christians don't have a lot of the more plainly silly ritualistic sin things going on. I bet you'd still get a lot of objections from the parents to holding graduation at a bathhouse, though, even if it was the best available venue.
I'm trying to come up with a parallel to the young man's religious objections, the closest I can come is a strip club with the shows still going on in plain sight. Still no objection?
