Verdades y Virtudes

Kaitlyn Hunt was charged and arrested on two second degree felony counts of “Lewd or Lascivious Battery,” - FL Statue 800.04(4A) - for being in a consensual lesbian relationship. Her girlfriend’s parents waited until Kaitlyn turned 18 years old this past August to press charges against her. Since, being arrested and charged on February 16, 2013, Kaitlyn has endured unnecessary hardship for being gay. Another burden she has faced is being expelled from her high school (Sebastian River High School) two weeks before this All-Star athlete student was to graduate. Her court file only indicates that the school had to make sure Kaitlyn stayed 100 feet away from her girlfriend (a.k.a the alleged victim) during school hours. The impact this injustice accusation will have on her life is tremendous. If convicted she will be forced to register as a sexual offender, lose her right to adopt children later in life, in addition to facing difficulty when seeking employment and being accepted into a college etc. Please look into your heart and sign her Change.Org petition to have her case dismissed by the Indian River County State Attorney. No one deserves to be criminalized for their sexuality!
