I heard the story on Ellen and my heart goes out to the family. I'm proud of Lawrence being brave enough at such a young age to accept who he was and not be ashamed of it. I didn't have the courage at that age. It's a terrible tragedy that his life was cut so short. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

THERE'S NO WAY THAT ANYONE DESERVES SOMETHING LIKE THIS. MY HEARRT GOES OUT TO LARRY AND HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS. I CANNOT IMAGINE THE HURT YOU MUST FEEL BUT I PRAY FOR HIM EVERY NIGHT AND EVENTHOUGH I DIDNT KNOW YOU LARRY. I PRAY THAT PEOPLE CAN CELEBRATE YOUR LIFE AND HELP MAKE A DIFFERENCE. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH WHAT ANYONE FEELS IN THIER HEART. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING OKAY WITH YOUR DIFFERENCES. AND I PRAY THAT THIS GOVERMENT SERVES YOUR LIFES JUSTICE BY TREATING ALL GAY, BISEXUAL, TRANSENDER PEOPLE LIKE HUMAN BEINGS BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT WE ALL ARE. GOD BLESS YOU LARRY. GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS. WATCH OVER US ALL. I WISH EVERYONE WHO WAS HURT BY THIS THE BEST. YOU ARE IN MY PRAYERS EVERY NIGHT.

I didn't know Larry, and I can't imagine the pain felt by his loved ones. I hope that Larry will be remembered for the courage he showed to be himself; that he stood up and said that he was not ashamed of who he was. May you rest in peace, Larry, we are all proud of you.

I didn't know this beautiful child but my heart is hurting. RIP sweet angel.

It made me sick just to think about how senseless this was. How someone could take another's life over something so trivial is disgusting.

I just heard of this story today when my friend forwarded me the clip from the Ellen Show. As I started looking up articles and reading, I couldn't hold back the hurt I felt for his Family. My condolences, thoughts, and prayers goes to Larry's family and freinds. Just like Mathew Sheppard, Larry will remain in my heart forever. We can only pray that Tolerance and Understanding will come with time, but that time will never be soon enough for those faced with these kind of tragedies.

We promiseto continue to discuss with our family and friends the importance of inclusion and equality and to continue to lead them through our own positive examples.
We encourage others to not teach tolerance but to enstill in our children love, peace and acceptance.
Our hearts break for everyone involved and we truly send our deepest condolences to all.

I was shocked and deeply saddened reading about Larry. It is unacceptable that we live in a world where children still think that being gay is such a scary thing. We need to teach our children acceptance and understanding and teach them that everyone is equal.

One day we will all realize that we are on the same side. One day we will realize that your happiness doesn't depend on the saddness of someone else. One day we will live the way we were meant to live: in peace. Until that day, I pray for everyone involved. We have another angel up there leading us to make sure tolerance and love are spread. God bless.

I did not know Lawrence but his sad tragic death has upset me.. my heart and prayers go out to his family and friends..
Shine bright from up above Lawrence and shine down on your family and friends and all those who knew you.. for you will be terribly missed.. RIP
