I'm so sorry for your loss. That's all I can say. I'm so, so sorry.

I am deeply sorry for your loss.I'm 21 and I'm a lesbian, I understand what it's like to feel hated. When I heard the story I was shocked. I can't understand how people can be so cruel sometimes. I know that god will help you through this. Leave everything in his hands.

A gorgeous boy who has touched the lives of many across the world. He lives on in many ways. My sympathies to the family and friends of Larry.

We must change the message especially for our youth to let them know that it is OK to be Gay! Mark is so loved - and Love never dies .... it expands to fill the whole of Creation. Let us continue that Love forever!

I'm writing this as a mother. and as I think of the King family losing their deeply precious and beautiful child, I can't stop crying. And as I think of the terrible hatred and violence that took Larry's life, I am so afraid for all of our children and what lies ahead for them. I worry not only for the victims of this terrible hatred, but for the perpetrators as well. Parents NEED to do more to instill respect and tolerance as core family values. No matter our creed, income, color or political stripe, these values need to be as basic to a child's upbringing as ABC's and 123's. God, please help us in this endeavor. Thank you.

The pictures of him when he was little - he looks a lot like my son, who is 4. This just breaks my heart to think that someone's beautiful boy was taken from them because of ignorance and fear. I wish I knew how to protect my own son, and everyone else's child, from this kind of hatred.

What a wonderful family you are to have let Larry be who he was. I mourn with you thsi terrible loss.

im not ssure if im for or against gays.lesbians.or homosexuals but one thing i do know is that a little boy like larry shudnt have been killed becuz of his appeal to boys and not girls... im really sorry some kids that are not educated enought to know better than to hurt others but i hope deep down inside my heart that this never happens again ....

I am so terribly sorry for htis crime. Prejudice and hate in this nation is something that needs to be addressed, as our current system creates fear and paranoia regarding sexuality. If someone is comfortable with their own sexuality, they should not feel offended, threatened, worried, or upset about anything that is different. And if no one felt these worries, there would be less hate. And that's exactly what everyone wants, less hate, isnt it? So why are having so much trouble and taking so long in finding a solution?

Dear Larry, I could have been you. I was young, picked on, and gay. But I was afraid. You are my angel, my hero and my role model. As a teacher, my life will never be the same since the day of your death. Never again. Sleep well my angel.
