Lawrence King

Larry King was most certainly not a typical gay kid. He was Super Gay, gay to the max, way too gay for his own good. The vast majority of gay men do not wear makeup, dress in girls clothes and paint their nails and look and act like freaks. The same goes for gay kids. Larry King was not a normal gay kid. He was not killed because he made a romantic advance on a heterosexual kid. He stalked and tormented that kid to the point of his snapping and for that Lawrence King was murdered. It is tragic that Lawrence might have gotten some encouragement from school officials. If I were one of his classmates I would not have liked him at all. I would have been embarrassed to be seen with him. I was a gay 15 year old a long time ago. I say shame on the school, shame on the killer and shame on Lawrence King as well.
