If he only needed 6 credits, why didnt merely tale them elsewhere and transfer them in?
According to the article, his credits won’t transfer, or maybe they won’t transfer them because he’s gay. Hard to say.

Maybe the grades were too low to transfer
Whether or not credits transfer is up to the school you are transferring TO not the school the credits are from. Assuming the original college is accredited, other colleges will accept most (if not all) of his credits...regardless his lifestyle.
In any event, a college is under no obligation to award a diploma to someone who breaks their pledge to that college in lifestyle choices.
Plenty of seniors have been expelled from colleges just weeks before graduation due to moral failure.
