I did not hear about Larry's story until today, by chance, stumbling upon a group in Facebook. It is beyond tragic, my sympathies for his parents and everyone who knew him. I know too well what growing up gay is like but was never as brave as Larry to be open about who I was at such a young age.
His pictures say so much too. I cannot miss that he was a light in everyone's lives, maybe too bright for a few ignorant people, but bright enough to keep shining on even after he's passed on. I am so proud of this young man for being true to who he was. I hope that from this tragedy there are some people out there who will learn to tolerate others differences more. Thank you so much to his loving parents for letting his story be told. He is your angel.

I am so sorry for your loss. I will be participating in the National Day of Silence in honor of Lawrence.
Best of luck to you.

"Do not stand at my grave and weep"
I don't think I could handle like this phrase. So sad for this boy to die so young, in such an awefull way, only because he was not like other boys.Larry is now a thousand winds that blow! But for his family? I hope they can give their sorrow, their pain a place in their lives! Why this special boy got a place in my heart? Maybe cause I have a gay son myself! Rest in peace Larry and peace to your dear ones!

Dear friends and family of Larry King... Your son was so young and yet so brave for coming out as who he really was! He will be forever in our hearts. I hope it helps to know that just because his physical presance is not with us... his soul will always be!
Larry will always be one with us all and accepted by his community.
Rest in Peace L. King

With a loss this tragic, it's difficult to put all of our hurt, anger and frustration into words. My deepest sympathy to all the family and friends who were involved.
I hope other people finally understand that SOMETHING IN OUR SCHOOLS NEEDS TO BE DONE! People just DON'T realize how bad the bullying is...and our children are paying for it with their lives. Whatever happened to school being a safe place...?

I only recently learned of this terrible tragedy. I am stunned that such a thing could happen and I pray for some measure of healing for the King family circle.
Schools, parents, churches, colleges, and the government all must take their responsibilities seriously in promoting acceptance and understanding among our people. We have such a long way to go. But we will get there.

BooHoo its not the end of the world.
Today, is April 18th.
Next week on the 25th is The National Day Of Silence Event at my high school I am helping with this event in memory of Lawrence King. I am deeply moved by his death, it was something that could have been stopped, but sadly it wasn't.
I hope the boy that killed Larry knows that it was Stupid thing to do.
I wish the best for his family, and Lawrence Will Never Be Forgotten.
Lawrence "Larry" King May You Rest In Peace.

When I ran across this article I was in shock! This broke my heart! Everyone I know is completly open to gay or lesbien people but I know that there are many people who aren't. I look at his pictures and he looks like such a great kid!! I just wish that he could have lived a full life! I send my prayers to his family, R.I.P Larry!

The world lost someone most of us didn't even know. But in it all, I retire every night knowing someone like Larry lost his life not by pretending to be someone else, but by being himself. That is COURAGE. The world has a lot to learn from you Larry and the world is a better place because of YOU!
