"Violence from whom?"
"Us."

Send out a nicely worded letter that graduation could not be held because of LGBQT students and their threats.
See how well it goes over.
And...If a graduating student engages in violence at his graduation, why can't we withold his diploma?

It will go badly for the school administration. The younger generation of graduates (and their Gen X parents) are a lot more supportive of their LGBTQ+ peers.

Or here's another idea. Message, however delivered, to all students:
"Dear Students:
Be advised that most people do not know or care who you sleep with. Get over yourselves.
Or, since you are refining your education at an institution of higher learning perhaps, "do not care with whom you sleep" would resonate more gently on you.
The above statement may or may not be true. Know that the kindest thing you can do for a groaning planet is to act like it is. That is, shut up already. Find your fuckbuddy of choice and know with sure certainty that it is not the earth-shattering news to everyone else that it is for you.
We of the administration beg of you -- have mercy.
Sincerely, XXX

The easier (and also correct) way to go is for the school administrator to simply let the valedictorian to talk about his LGBTQ+ activism as he wishes. Regardless of content, very few people actually pay attention to or remember high school graduation speeches. Without any action from the school administrator, the speech will most likely age like most other high school graduation speeches -- promptly forgotten.
