It's been a crazy morning already. Its EXTREMELY important to me that everything is above board and truthful. I know with anything that goes viral, the facts will be twisted or confused. Clarity is important. Kate and her gf met, were friends, acquaintances, whatever you want to call it when they were 14 and 17. Kate turned 18 once her senior year began, and her gf was 2 months shy of 15. Those ages and time frames are really petty to me personally because bottom line there is a 3 year 7 month age difference period, the girls were both in high school period, the relationship was consensual and mutual period. To charge fellow classmates that are dating or sexually active is wrong GAY OR STRAIGHT. I want to go on record saying if Kate was a MALE i would feel the EXACT same way i do now. THIS IS NOT RIGHT! Its not about sexual preference, although that's is what has fueled the opposing side, its about what is right. The laws need to change! These laws are to protect children from adults predators, not their same age classmates!"
