This is a tragedy. You were brave to be true to yourself. RIP

What a beautiful child your Lawrence is. I am saddened by his death and your loss.I am saddened for all of us who never got a chance to know him. I am saddened that he never got to do all the good things he could have done.I hope some good comes from this tragedy. Blessings to his family and friends. May time help you heal.

Children aren't born with prejudice. Our hearts and prayers go out to young Larry and his family. May his death not be in vain.

When I was 16, after two years of hesitating, I told a guy at school that I loved him. He strongly rejected my love and I never spoke to him again. It took me quite a few years before I dared speak up again. I am now 41, and I still find it difficult to express love.
In my eyes, Larry was a hero for speaking out and for living the way he was. I wish his family and friends the strength and love that they need to overcome this tragedy. May they feel some piece and comfort that Larry now is a symbol to many that we are all equal, and that nobody deserves to live inside of a closet.
The world has changed a little bit since I was 16. But Larry's death shows that it has not changed nearly enough. Out of all places, California and the Netherlands are known to be amongst the most gay tolerant places in the world. Which makes this all the more sadder.
My deepest sympathies for your loss.

i was so mad to hear this.i don't know why someone one would want to kill such a beatifull child the boy who did it deserves everything thing he gets. R.I.P little guy may u not have anymore pain

I'm From Canada and I'm Upset because that someone that is Gay would just for handing someone a card. I'm very sorry and I hope the family is doing fine.

I am very saddened to hear of the tragic death of this very brave and admirable young man. As a bisexual musician, it is further troubling for me to see how far we have yet to go for understanding, compassion, acceptance, and above all, love.
My heart goes out to all those who suffer through this tragic time. At least, Larry is at peace. He is now with the angels.

RIP Larry. Your story has touched us all.

Dear Sweet Child, You were beautiful and shone brighter than those around you. In a bland and dull world, jewels catch fire and light. They shine like aurora stars. Your gentle spirit will never die. The world is poorer for your loss. Those who don't understand your soul are filled with their own confusion and self-hatred. For all their intolerance there are those who shine in the rainbow.

I was just looking at Ellen's statement regarding and Larry's death and I just want to send my condolences. FRom looking at the pictures, he seemed like an amazing kid and you must have been so proud that he wasn't afraid to show the world who he really was. My prays go out to you and your family.
