Florida Teen Expelled, Charged With Felony For Lesbian Relationship

A Florida family says their 18-year-old daughter was charged with a felony and expelled from high school as a result of a consensual, same-sex relationship with another student.
Kaitlyn Hunt started dating a female classmate at the beginning of the school year when she was 17 and the girl she was dating was 15. According to an account posted to Facebook by Kaitlyn’s mother, in February, just after Kaitlyn turned 18, she was arrested on felony charges at the behest of her girlfriend’s parents. The specific crime was “sexual battery on a person 12-16 years old.”
Kaitlyn’s mother believes the charges were motivated by anti-gay animus:
They were out to destroy my daughter, they feel like my daughter “made” their daughter gay. They are bigoted, religious zeolites [sic] that see being gay as a sin and wrong, and they blame my daughter.
But Kaitlyn’s problems did not end there. Her girlfriends’s parents appealed to the school board and had her expelled from Sebastian River High School. Kaitlyn’s mom reports that the State Attorney, Brian Workman, has offered Kaitlyn a plea deal of “of two years house arrest and one year probation.” Kaitlyn has until next Friday to accept the plea deal or face a trial.
The family has started a petition calling on the state attorney to drop the charges against Kaitlyn.
God Fucking Dammit look what straight people did this time
It kind of annoys me how this story is being interpreted.
Yes, the law was enforced discriminatorily against a lesbian relationship. However, the law isn’t just used in this way against queer relationships, and in fact the problem with the law has nothing to do with queerness: it has to do with the fact that parents are the ones to decide whether a sexual relationship that their teenage child has is statutory rape, rather than the child. That can apply to any relationship that a parent’s word can claim is sexual (read: any relationship), straight, gay, polyamorous, asexual, interracial, whatever.
It’s about the way a statutory rape law is enforced, not about an anti-queer law.
And the way the law is written, yes, she committed a felony. You have to fight the language of the law, not ask the prosecutor really nicely to drop the charges. The law is wrong, but not because it discriminates against queer people specifically.
This law is a tool that can be applied to perpetrating the whole spectrum of discrimination, but it’s not on-the-face discriminatory. Treat it complexly, because it is.
