this demonstrates once again that people just can't accept other people for who they are. my thoughts and prayers are with Larry's family as they go through this tragic time in their lives. maybe this will serve as a reminder of the hatred thats directed towards LGBT people and maybe something will be done about it.

To the Family: Words cannot express what you must be going through. I am so saddened and upset my what has happened.
I will not let him die in vain, this incident has caused me to be more aware of the hate that is out there. I am now becoming a gay activist fighting for gay rights and all human rights.
GOD BLESS YOU. I KNOW LARRY IS IN A BETTER PLACE.

I am so sorry forere are your loss. There are really NO words that can be spoken or writen that can take away these feelings of hurt. Know that with you continued faith in god and the blessing of the community, that you will eventually get throught this. I want to leave one last remark. Think of your son or cousin, grandson or friend as a advocate. An angel, God put everyone on this earth for a purpose and Larry has fulfilled his. Love everyone around you just as hard as he loved you.
P.S. Be true to yourself always.
Sincerely,
Tawanda

My condolences to the King family, and my heart goes out to young Larry King. Maybe awareness of the murder of such a courageous free-spirited youth - who had the right to live, love and freely be himself - will humanize the struggle of others like him.
Be strong family. This is tragic, but I believe that Larry lived, will give life to others, and that he would be pleased by that.
Sincerely,
Cleo Manago

It's been 3 weeks since I first heard about this tragic event yet thinking about this young life lost still brings me to tears. I've cried so many times learning about Lawrence, one of the gentlest souls around. Young Mr King had the courage to be himself despite all of the judgement and hate. The sensitivity to care about others and a curiousity for life that we should never lose. For being who you were and dressing how you did let me say I'm proud of you. I have been out for 12 years but still remember the early days. The joy of accepting our true selves cause us to not only open the closet doors, but sometimes kick those doors right off. Lawrence, you had more courage then so many much older. This should have never happened and I promise you I will never forget. I hope that their is something done in your honor every year and I look forward to travelling down from Canada to join in the celebration of your life. I'm glad you had a chance to start being you!

Un beso desde Espana, estes donde estes.
Kisses from Spain, wherever you are.
WE WILL MISS YOU

This is very upsetting and disturbing to hear. Being 15, I hear a lot of hateful statements to other students just for race, religion, and sexuality. It is sad that to raise awareness to this hate we have to lose another person who was just being themself. R.I.P. Lawrence.

i am very sorry for your loss. my heart and prayers go out to larrys family and friends. it makes me so so mad that we live in a world that does not accept us for who we are no matter what and to know that someone would take the life of an innocent boy just for being who he is. i started crying when i saw the slideshow again i am very sorry for your loss

So sad to see such a young child leave this world so soon. My heart goes out to the parents.
