Larry, I did not know you, but I am sorry you died because of a hate crime. It takes courage to really show yourself and I'm glad you were proud to be gay. I hope one day I will stop hiding and truly be myself Thank you Larry, your story has taught me to not be ashamed of being gay. Rest In Peace

I would just like to say that I am deeply sorry for the loss of your son. My girlfriend and I are approached daily, being told we're going to hell for what we are. I am doing an extensive project based on your son and the Murder, and I hope it will raise awareness as to the amount of prejudice that exists in our world today. I just wish I could see it all stop. Thank you so much for creating this site and giving us all hope.

I'm so sorry this could happen one of my best friends is gay and he is the most friendly guy I know I hate the people who think they're better as someone else just because of their sexuality. RIP Larry

I was so sad to read his story even though i did not know him i will always rember that ragic story of what happend just because he was gay. I am a 16 year old Gay Boy and i know how much it must hurt My heart is to you

How very sad that we live in a country that still does not accept people who are gay, people of color etc.. This young man and the many before him i.e. Matthew Shepard, Teena Brandon, Gwen A., lost their lives because of people who are afraid. I pray to God every day that my son will always be tolerant and accepting. It starts with the parents, you teach hate your children learn how to hate, you teach love and acceptance, they learn to love and accept. My heart and prayers go out to Larry's family, what a tragedy for the family as well as for America. Another life lost due to ignorance and intolerance.

rest in peace little guy, i will try to help change the world in your honor.
