This heinous crime will never be forgotten. As someone who is gay himself, I can relate to the suffering other gays and lesbians go through. Larry was brave to be himself and we must learn to love each other no matter what. Let us not forget.

With deepest sorrow for the injustice of such a hate-filled act, you have my condolences, thoughts and prayers. Do not allow anyone to lessen the incredible value of Larry's brave life, whose only desire was to be who he was!

Your family is in my thoughts and my prayers. It's sad that in 2008 there is still discrimination. I pray that God brings you peace in this time of grief.

I am so sorry for your loss. This is a horrific crime that shouldn't happen in any society. As a gay man who grew up in a small town in Missouri I know of Larry's pain. He was an amazing person. His spirit will live on forever giving strength to all of us.

Im very sorry to hear about Larry. He seemed like an amazing kid and its horrible to hear what happened. Someday everyone will get along.

I am a gay guy of 30 years and I know how hard it is to be gay in a society that promotes religious and culturally based hate. Your loss is not for nothing however; this tragic event has spurred many to reflection and to action. May your child's memory live on in the lives that are touched through this time.

We all take a little bit of Larry with us every where we go. God will make great use of his new angel.

both my partner and i were saddened to hear of this on the ellen show. please accept our deepest condolences to the entire King family. We are sure that Larry's passing will help promote tolerance and acceptance around the world and especially right here in the US.

Larry sounds like a remarkable young man. From what I've read and heard, to stay true to himself and never let anyone take away who he was takes a level of courage and self-awareness unmatched by most people his age. I am not gay, but I have many good friends who are, and that someone would do this to such a good person is unthinkable. Blessings to your family. And Larry, may the wind always be at your back.

This is so sad and terrible. My heart goes out to Larry's family and friends.
