Young, Gay and Murdered

It's sad that God children have to go thourght this. Only GOD GIVE LIVE AND TAKE IT AWAY,NOT US.We have a 10 commandment to follow and to respet ,but is sad that not everyone listen or obey God. Yes , is true ,a sin is a sin not matter what but if you repent by heart, Jesus will forget you and you will be born again.
in Galatians 5; 14,20,21,22,23,24 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this " You shall love your neighbor as yourself " Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, Fornication,uncleanness, lewdness,idolatry,sorcery,hatred,contention,jealousies,outbursts of wrath,selfish ambitions,dissensions,heresies,envy,murders,drukenness,revelries,and the like of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God. (This is what the world offer you , death in your spirit ,but there is life in Jesus Christ. and this is the fruit of the Holy spirit): 22 ; But the fruit of the holy spirit is Love,Joy,Peace,Longsuffering,Kindness,goodness,faithfulness,gentleness,self-control. Against such there is not law. and those who are Chirst's have crucified the flesh with its passion and desires.
What we have to loose!; Jesus died for us and God Jehova love us. Is only one Step, repent of all are sin and follow are savior , So we can go to haven.Get to know Jesus as your friend, and if you let him; he will change you,by giving you peace and love. You don't have to believe me just try it for your self and you will know him well as I do. I love you the way your are, Jesus love you too. God Bless you.

To my brothers and sisters in Christ???and those that think they???re Christian, it is clear what God says about homosexuality, it???s a sin. Yet, so is murder???and hate, lying, lusting, stealing, coveting and many other things that separate us from God. It is clear that God hates sin, so much so, he gave is Son to die for us on a cross, making a way that we can enter His presence pure and holy. Yet, we are all still sinners, I know, it???s hard to understand???it???s one of the mysteries the bible talks about. Isn???t it interesting how God shows His mighty love for us? For those believers out there, remember the Father is the one that judges, it is written that even Jesus came to save the world, not condemn it. Therefore, who are we to judge? Now, with that said, sin is sin, and all sin leads to eternal death. However, as much as God hates sin, he loves the sinner. As too, we should. If we claim Christ as or Savior, how dare we hate one of His creations? Yes, homosexuality is sin just as much as murder and the others, its okay to hate it the sin. But, don???t you think we have a better chance freeing someone from their sin if we share the love of Jesus with them by loving them first, by treating them the way Jesus treated us. Was it not Jesus that sat with the sinners, saying it???s the sick that need a doctor?

This is a very tragic story of two boys, two of God???s creations, that lived only for themselves. Both boys having a sinful nature, like you and me, but for them, no hope of eternal salvation. The bible has many laws of do???s and don???ts, but when you boil it all down, the greatest of these is to love one another, just as Jesus loved us.

Sexuality is not a choice. Sexuality is a discovery. It seems ignorant for people to claim it???s a choice. I don???t remember any point in my life hearing a person choosing to be straight or gay. They do what feels natural just as animals do in nature. It may be interesting for some to know there are homosexual animals too. When I was in 2nd grade I started being harassed for being gay. I didn???t even know what sexuality was not to mention the different sects of it. All the way through my senior year this was an issue for me. I remember coming to school when gay rights were being voted on and seeing teachers wearing buttons condemning my culture. It???s not easy growing up in a world of ignorant people. When people say, ???That???s so gay??? they are using a culture as an insult. That has never been ok. People who do that align themselves with racist. Hitler I???m sure used to use cultures as an insult. To say it was Lawrence King???s fault for being murdered just shows the narrow-minded viewpoints of the many. You want to know about tolerance, I have tolerated straight people all my life. Many of you can only find unity through the exclusion of a minority group. It serves as a distraction from your own imperfections. Try not letting television and schools raise your children. Try talking to you kids about growing up and what it means to be human and treat people humanely. People don???t make a big deal out of people being heterosexual. When someone finds out someone else is heterosexual, it is not gossiped and whispered about. What???s the big deal people? What is so interesting about what consenting adults consent to in the privacy of their own homes? Stay out of our bedroom. Lawrence was murdered cause yet another parent did not raise their child. Yet another component to our downward spiral.

Dear Concerns,
God teaches love, not tolerance. I can't go out and committ adultery just because I have urges. Responsible sexual behavior belongs to everyone. I am so sorry that Brandon did not have what he needed to see that his friend needed help. Larry's sexual expression is a symtom of a larger problem. Not a God given right. God's love for these to kids is not deminshed by their choices, but society will have pure chaos if everybody gets to do what their fantacies dictate to them. God's love is real and so is his judgement. Society and the school has no right to legislate ostentatious behavior just because someone feels different in side. People in wheel chairs want to walk, the hungry want to eat, the broken hearted want to be mended , but in his love, God will give us help to deal with our issues and certainly not to push our interest onto others, because we have rights. The only rights we have is to honor God and to love each other. My sympathy is with both of these children. Society caused this and you have not seen the worst of it yet. Teen aged girls in Maryland are going after other school girls, and approaching them to be a part of the Gay life because as they put it, "Men are no good" It happened to my neice and she had to fight when she went to the bathroom. Don't tell me people just want to be themselves. They want company in their deviance. We have not seen the last of this kind of tragedy yet. Society is to Blame. Be what you want, but keep it to yourself.

I can't believe that we still live in a world where people are so afraid of homosexuality. So ignorant about it. Larry did not deserve to die, and when reading this article it seemed as if some of the interviewees were tyring to justify what Brandon had done to him. Larry was not pushing his rights or bullying people with his rights, he only using his rights.
Larry said, "You know you want me." And that's supposed to be sexual harrassment? Please! Those kids probably taunted him with every breath they had.
Larry's father is a homophobe no matter how much he tries to say that he's not. He didn't accept his own son's sexuality. And now he's upset at the Gay community for trying to make his son's case a poster for gay toloerance.You're a dick.
To the people who have posted things about homosexuality being wrong. It's not! Homosexuality is purely about who you love. Just because it's love for the same-sex does not make it is an abomination. And to the Retard who asked about why homosexuality is accepted now, when it wasn't a 100 years ago, neither was blacks or women voters. But I'm assuming that you don't belive in accepting that either.

I think that it was best said by Popeye. "I am what I am", and whatever will be will be but it is not fair when it causes someone else their sanity. People in the world needs to know that there is a time and a place for everything and a child being taught that it is ok to express themselves in such a manner such as he was by adults who have it hard enough protecting themselves is just unexceptable. Example just look at all of the helpless teachers and students who have been shot down by some disgruntel person who has been taught that everything they have done or do is just exceptable or phase that they are going threw. When will we learn America that there will be some repercussions and consquences for actions in life be that may good or bad.

okay so this is about God and the Bible and sinning now? so what you are saying is that because a young boy was gay, and that is a sin, is that it justifies another young boy to take justice into is own hands and shoot him? so who is the sinner? and I also thought that somewhere in the Bible Jesus clearly said "Let you who be without sin be the first to cast the stone". This is a tragedy. That someone so young had to die because there are so many people that can't accept things beyond themselves. This is like racism all over again. The light of it is simply that there will always be someone different from the rest and that person will always be punished. There is nothing that can be done to change that. All people can do is educate their children that "different" does not mean "bad" or "evil". Every parent tells their child "don't be afriad to be yourself" but that is not true. The world wants everyone to be the same. Stepford Wives. Grown and groomed to be just like the guy next door. So now the question is, how to make someone have an open mind?

no matter what the situation was, no matter what caused a child to murder another child, are we not horrified that once again a firearm was used to solve one persons hate toward another. how the NRA live with themselves not having the brains or conscious to help make tougher gun laws makes me sick and embarrassed to live in the almighty USA. we as a nation are truly the most violent against each other and guns seem to be our answer to solve our problems and hate. i hope i don't stand alone.

I hope the murder of Larry will spend the rest of his mother *** life in jail, or better yet, they should kill him just as he killed Larry!

Comment: i think we all know where you stand on the issue you have made it clear in several unintelligent, disgusting, perverted one sentenced comments. these issues stem from the likes of YOU. i hope you dont have any children! your parents must be PROUD of you

who are you talkin to?

Does the school ready for homsexual and gun issues in the United States? Absoulety, "Not." Based on this article I have to say the goverment needs to understand when you granded a right for the State please follow up and educate the people how to use their right correctly. Educated everyone starts from the school. Teacher is the most important person to help and lead the students and guide them to a right direction. Seemed to me Amercian is too busy to take care his/her own personal life. What he/she likes to be homsexual or bisexual, it all about that person selfness. Please we have so much things to do in our life can everyone take a small step to support and help our children to understand what is going on in this country. It is sad to say freedom come with price. When people get it but do not know how to use it. What are shame? No matter what was happened for Larry in this issued. Things must address immediately about the school system and the state how they can prevent and protect our children living in this kind of society? We all hope the goverment understand gun problem around school area how much we can take this about someone holding a gun to shoot students in the classroom. Everyone needs to take his/her own responsiblity no matte what he/she does. Please help yourself and your country to make it better life not destory lifes. Think about it?

no they didn't know how to control their emotions and they should have been helped.

I have gay relatives and I love them. I also feel very close to friends of theirs. But the gay community wants to force every aspect of their lives on us. If a person is gay, so be it. But running around in school in stilettos and chasing the boys is absurd and he should never have been allowed to do this. It would be considered sexual harrassment if it were between a boy and girl yet it's okay for a gay person to harrass a straight person. As long as the gay agenda gets its way in every situation, problems like this will continue to grow.
Perhaps people should start to realize that many gays are actually "heterophobic." They are not satisfied with being who they are, they want all of us to be the same. Maybe the boy who did the shooting had become the subject of ridicule after "poor "Larry pranced around him. Maybe people called him "gay."

Troubled kids have troubled ways of dealing with issues. However this will not eliminate the issue, which is in this case was that 1 boy was harrassed by another. Yes, you guys are right , this is not the way how this should have been dealt with , and this is why the school , our laws, legislators, parent,s and we are all at fault. We are imposing acceptance for unacceptable behaviors, and that is why troubled teens have to solve their problems on their own, on horrible ways. Acceptance, tolerance, great words, but we are here to teach kids respect, good behavior, and they should follow these -gay or not!!! It seems when people want to be different, they will use their uniqeness as an excuse to act however they wish to. Not respecting other indivual's space, sexual orientation , however on the other hand demanding the same from them , will not lead to any good. We need to just get back to the core values , and stop listening to people trying to tell us that we have to accept everything . This case jsut shows, we are at fault and not beacause we are not tolerant, it is because we lost our common sense, and attention to details. We should take care of our kids, and if parents are not doing a good job, teachers should try to take their place. Teach them discipline, you can be gay if you do not bother others, and you can deal with anger without guns and violance.We need to clear our minds from political, gay rights, not gay rights agendas and listen to our logical minds!!! Can we do that again sometimes in our future, I am not sure anymore!

this is scary...some people are totally against larry, some against brandon. If someone even types in the word jesus
then they become christian bigeots? Some people are for gay rights, some people are not. Some people like to curse
when wrighting their comments and bash people for their comments, some people perfer the need not to curse and write
articulate articles. Where is the common ground? Why can't we as a society come to at least one agreement? I have my
own beliefs, but I wont criticise others for theirs. I wont even post how I feel or what I believe is right or what
I may believe should be done or not done to Brandon. But I will say this, I hope that whatever the jury deicides with
Brandon's trial is fair. I hope we as a nation could come to peace with our own indifferences, and respect other
peoples feelings.

The outcome of this harsh reality is very sad. Here we have two kids with a great deal of social problems. One, who is confused using the most extreme measures to explore is sexual identity and the other student taunted mercilessly and premeditated on committing a heinous crime, in an attempt to disassociate himself with misconception of being called gay. I could image what Larry experienced.It seems as though he was too flamboyant with his actions, causing a disruption to the school. The school system should have intervened by communicating with the Larry???s parents about his outlandish behaviors and collaborating with a social worker or psychologist. When the educational system is unprepared to deal with such complex issues, it???s no surprise that this situation escalated and resulted in a tragic end. There has to be strict guidelines ,as to what constitutes to student???s right. Unfortunately, the so called student???s rights have failed both parties. Violence is never the answer to any problem. However, I truly believe that early prevention is key. When do we listen to the cries of our teenagers? When one is dead and the other is incarcerate for life? There must be accountability, it starts with the; family, community, educators, classmates, friends, etc.
