in the media for her crime or her sexuality
By Cindy Nguyen
High school is the nesting place for pubescent teenagers. It is where you grow up, make or lose friends and possess cringeworthy stupidity. When I think about being in high school, I remember the thrill of skipping class, thinking that Jesse McCartney was the love of my life and throwing tantrums ALL THE TIME. In general, thinking about my high school years does nothing but sends me in fits of laughter.
I'm sure that Kaitlin Hunt won't feel the joy and happiness I feel when she's reminiscing about her high school years. Kaitlin is an 18yearold high school student who's living in the United States. She has recently been in the headlines for being in a romantic relationship with a 15yearold basketball team member. Kaitlin has been charged with serious child sex offences and has denied a plea bargain made by the attorney.
But it isn't the crime that has made headlines, but instead, the relationship itself. The media coverage of this story has been widespread because the minors involved are in a samesex relationship.
A blog on Hot Air high lights the legality behind this story and shows how many heterosexual relationships like the one between Kaitlin and her peer, have been dealt with less seriously because of how young both parties are. Kaitlin has just recently turned 18,

A Facebook page has been set up in support of Kaitlin,

Would this story generate as much media frenzy? I don't think that it would have. So should samesex couples and heterosexual couples be treated the same when it comes to the law and media coverage? And does sexuality and gender dictate how a specific court case is going to pan out,
