Young, Gay and Murdered

You know what people who like getting pissed on or love feet do? They know what they like is sick. They keep their sick fetishes to their little communities or in their homes. But you couldn't have a normal fetish, oh no. You had to make it a 'lifestyle. You had to build your entire lives around your retarded fetish. But then you took it a step further- You wanted to be able to show off your fetish, rub it in everyone's faces, and expect them to smile. You wanted to *** men, dress up in drag and makeup, and expect people to be proud? Then, you whine like nothing else when people tell you how retarded it all is, and cry 'gay-bashers' like you're some oppressed minority. You know what foot-lovers do? They keep it to them *** selves. There's MILLIONS of them. They know what they like is weird, and they don't grind it in everyone's faces. They deal with it like normal people.

You peopleare going a bit far in talking about society this and that what was important here was what was going on in the minds of these two young men. The fact of the matter is what had happened to both of them in their personal lives caused this to happen. It is possible Larry watched a little too much tv and this caused him to believe that people accept open gayness even in middle school,obviously not the case.

oops. Keven, supposed to be Kevin

Something is wrong when people comment on what they do not know. When they listen to gossip and half truths and think that is gospel, that is wrong. Everyone has an opinion and you know what they smell like.

The thing is NOW you do see it on TV I didnt... You see it on the news.. It was not talked about on the news in teh 70's in Alabama. Boys are still going to have the strong feelings I had when I was the ages of Larry and I look at it now and it scares me that being raped was my punisment for my parents and other parents not talking to their kids about sex, but I do not see that changing and Larry is only one of many I am sure through the years that may find this kind of lesson until then Ill pray that the world gets less angry and more compasionate in every aspect of their life.

was removed from gym class by the 8th grade. Although PE was a reqired subject to pass I would go into the gym and sweep the gym floor while the rest of the class was in dress out and role call. and they gave me crediI had a hard time reading this story as it was very simular to my situation 30 years ago. I came out in the 7th grade and t. I didnt dress like a girl but wasnt quiet about my sexuality. Like Larry I was called names in the halls and no one would associate with my but some girls. Why was I removed from gym class. The middle school that I attended was in rural Alabama and one day after dressing out after roll call the coach would mak eus walk track until he caleed us for calistetics. Before I knw it I was pushed into a wooded area beaten , raped and threatened if I told I would die. Needless to say the coach questioned me about what happened and I am sure he knew but I didnt tell. I was taken to the principles office and still wouldnt talk and my parents were called. I had a year younger brother like larry that told my parents that I was going around saying I was gay and they ask the principle to remove me from Gym Class and worked out the arrangment for me to sweep the floors. From the 7th grade thru the 12th grade I never took gym again. The boys that raped me were scared that I had told since I was called to the office but I told them I didnt and I wouldnt be in gym anymore. At this point I ran as far back into the closet as I could but the damage was already done and you know kids talk to other kids and everyone still knew. When ask after that if I was gay I would say no. My parents could not afford to put me in school so my grades went from straigh a's to c-. I went to school but hated being there and mostly was scared to be there.

Only after I graduated did I tell my parents what happened that day. They knew what happened but not by who. Today 30 years later one is dead from drunk driving, one is In prision for murder and the other is still living with hsi mom and drinks about a case a day. At first I blamed myslef for what happened to me and later affer coming out agin at age 19 met my partner of 27 years.

Yes there are alot of situations here involved and I dont have a answer, When I first began tellin gpeople I liek boys I had no idea what homosexuality was or gay. I liked boys. I knew that i bet between 10-11 is when I frist told my brother. My brother too was called names because of me and latr in life told me about it. I appoligised to him for any thing I cased him to go through and we are I guess as close as most late 40s brothers.

To Keven VT:
Something is wrong when people comment on an issue like this while ignoring the larger issue of the increasing violence occurring on school grounds. Violence is not always about sexuality but the many cases of rape in the schools or on school property attest to the fact that violence asssociated with sex
has been committed on school grounds before and it seems that no big issue was made out of it because there was no agenda to fulfill. While the murder of a child is always unfortuanate that should not stop people from asking the question of why this case has been separated out from the other issues of violence in the schools. since there hasn't exaclt been a pattern of gays being killed in schools while there has been a pattern of rape by both teachers and students. That's what my post was referring to with the remark about "bullying" since the idea of separating the case from all other cases of school violence only serves to obscure the issue of children and violence in the schools as it creates the kind of divisiveness that is no doubt very much responsible for the problem of the increase in violence.

Gofor3...shut up and wait for the whole story. This mag rag did not tell anything about the truth.
