This story hurts me so deeply. I cannot imagine how things like this happen in the world and it truly weakens my hope in humanity. I just pray that we can one day come to realize that everyone is beautifully different and entitled to the right to be themselves. It is painful to think that someone who has achieved the sense of self this child has must die for it.
My love goes to the family and all of those who this story has touched.
I pray that we all are brave enough to be ourselves without shame or judgement.

I just read the story about Larry on MSN. I am terribly sorry for your famiy's tragedy. My heart is deeply saddened. I will never understand how things so horrible happen. I will keep your family in my prayers.

Dear King family, i am very sorry to hear about you're lost. I personaliy do not think that any one should be judged or killed because of there sexuality. We all have the freedom to be who ever we want to be there is no law that states someone can't be gay and so people should not be so bothered by it. Cause we are all humans no matter what we are all created eqal no matter what you're sexuality is.

I have read this story with such sadness and disbelief that everyone is looking for someone to blame in the death of this beautiful child. To the King family, be proud that your son had the courage to be who he thought he was. You gave him a life that assured him he felt ok just being him. Ignorance brings intolerance. I have lived through and beyond it. There is no excuse for a misfortune like this to happen. The blame is stricly on the person who took this child away from those he loved and loved him.
May God protect others who face situations such as this. And, may God guide you and protect you, the King family, from further ridicule of the ignorant of others.

Dear King Family,
I cannot believe I just heard about this awful act of violence until July, when it happened in February. I am so deeply moved by your courage and the courage Larry had for being who he was. So many people do not know who they are and walk this earth living a lie. I am sure Larry is watching over you and glowing in the love that everyone is feeling for him.
It is always the ones left behind that the loss is so deep. Remember who he was and how his life will change the world.
Sincerely,
Glenn Stewart

So sad, my heart goes out to you. Why can't we all live together in harmony? What a beautiful smile he had.

This tragic story touched me deeply. As a mother I wouldn't care about my son's sexual preferences. I would love him anyway. Being gay, if Larry really was, is not a fact to be punished for. He maybe just needed to be loved for everyone around him and feel it. Rest in peace, Larry and from Heaven, because I know you're there, take care of your family and give them the strength they need to cope with your absence.

To the King Family..
Your family and Larry are in my prayers. How sad that children are the victims of our society's issues. This is not the world that God intended and we all need to hold each other accountable for our actions, our hurtful words and for failing to show each other the love and respect that each one of us needs. God Bless you. May God give you strength and inspire all of us to seek out the needy, the oppressed and the disenfranchised people all around us each day.
Peace to you and much love.

Im sorry to hear about your loss. My condolences go out to the family

This story has undoubtedly touched me very much. Your life was shortlived Larry, but I am positive your in a better place. I never knew you but even still you have a place in my heart. You were a brave young man who wasn't afraid to be himself - in that light, you are a hero to many. It saddens my heart to know your gone, but you will always live in future generation's hearts as an inspiration. Much love Larry.
