Anonymous joins fight for FL teen arrested for underage homosexual relationship

http://pastebin.com/STRNnv39

Excerpt of Anonymous's letter to the Indian River State Attorney's office...
Now, either we are to interpret your charges to mean that:

1) Indian River County is publicly taking a stance against all relationships that form between two consenting adolescents -- or
2) We're left to wonder if the intolerance of Kaitlyn's partner's parents (or maybe it was yours) is really what started this case against her.

The real question is, who in your office didn't have the balls or the intelligence to put an end to this ridiculousness?

Intolerance has been the curse of this country since it's inception. Frankly, we're sick of it. Specifically, we're sick of paying the salaries of people like you. Now most of you probably interviewed for your jobs and were appointed there, but one or two ranks above you is some asshole that every few years has to go door to door and beg people to remember his or her name on election day. There are quite a few organizations in this country that would prefer that our elected officials not hire bigots that hunt down and file erroneous charges against young women because of their sexual orientation. The fact is, the puritanism you practice doesn't have a place in this world any longer.

11 days. She said that means a $3,000 lose for her and her husband. He is sick and can't work and he is to young to receive social security or medicare. Yet she still counts her blessings.

I live just south of there in St Lucie County and it's almost like an island here. We are very blue yet the 3 counties surrounding us are awfully red (Martin, Indian River & Okeechobee). And since we are all considered the Treasure Coast, we get lumped into their craziness.

This story is so outrageous. She just turned 18 and is still in High School. That would be like when my boyfriend in High School was 3 months younger than me. But I guess it was all right because it was a heterosexual relationship. Such a sick story!
