My thoughts and prayers are with your family and Larry. As a lesbian activist and as a mother I am both heartbroken and angry about the on-going senseless violence against our community. Your unconditional love is a testament to true family values.

I cry when I read of incidents like these. Not only for young Larry do I grieve but for his mis-guided, confused killer. No one loved Brandon enough to teach him the wonderful gift that diversity is and the joy of accepting the differences in other people.

One day people will learn not to hurt not to hate, to accept people for who and what they are. May Larry's life be a candle to light the road. I work with kids in a play setting - we take an old battered double decker bus around to neighbourhoods here in South Britain and they come on and play. We've done that for 25 years, I've seen Larry before. I've also seen those who might kill and hurt. Funnily enough, and I guess Larry's parents will understand this knowing the sweet kid they have lost, his was not the damaged life. If you folks should ever come to Britain, please look us up, you will be welcome. Let's Make the A World Fit for All Our Kids to Play In. Bless You.

I am so sorry. As a parent and citizen my heart is broken and so sad for you. Our children need love not hate. It is up to us as adults to lead the way for tolerance and acceptance. My prayers are with you and your family. Let this be the beginning of your righteous anger with productive results. peace be with you.

My heart and prayers goes out to your family. Your in the hands of the father, go and be happy, Larry...I will miss you.

Although I did not know Larry, as a parent, my heart breaks for you. Looking at the photos of that sweet face... Intolerance unfortunately knows no bounds, but hopefully his legacy will be one that will lend courage to those of us ready to take a stand. May loving memories help you to heal...and righteous anger empower you to take a stand against hate.

Larry's murder is motivated by the hate made acceptable by our homophobic national "leaders," our gay-bashing Bush administration and members of Congress, as well as our gay-bashing religious leaders. It's time for the public to rise up against this intolerance that's also destroying our COnstitution. Larry's death will not be in vain.

This kid went to school everyday not afraid of who he was or what people thought about him.And for him to die like this just sickens me .I just wish i was as strong has he was at 15 to live life without caring what other people thought about me.your safe now where no one can judge you or hurt you. r.i.p kid.

My heart aches and my eyes burn from the tears. Thank you brave boy for your courage, it is hard to stand alone in this world. God Bless you always and may he cradle you in his arms forever.

Although I did not know Larry I do know the destructive power of Hate-inspired Violence and truly feel for all his freinds and family. Hopefully, this tragic act will serve as a reminder that the gay/transgendered community still has not achieved full recognition by the inept/ineffective civil rights code that governs the methodology and inactment of Hate crimes legislation. For Larry's loved ones, healing will take an enormous amount of emotional strength; for all others who hope to one day eradicate sexual intolerance, it will take solidarity and courage to keep standing up to anti-gay atrocities and rhetoric. By speaking out about incidents such as this our government and our neighbors will wake up and take responsibilty for lack of inaction.
Thank You Larry 4 a lifetime of courage.
