As I sit here with the tears streaming down my face, I cannot begin to imagine the pain of this family. Having struggled for 45 years as a gay man, I had hoped our youth were better than this. Please know my love and prayers are with each of you and I pray for a better day for all gay/lesbians/transgenered people of the world. Lets change things.

My heart is breaking.
Let us no more allow beauty to be broken by hate.
Sincere and heartfelt condolences to all who loved him.

My condolences, thoughts, and prayers goes to Larry's family and freinds. Larry will not be forgotten

I am a social skills teacher in Vermont. This heart breaking tragedy has inspired me to share the story with all of my students as we work together to create the world as the creator meant it to be. One of tolerance, empathy, and peace. Blessed be.

My deepest condolences. A loved life taken too soon. May Larry find some peace and the love he deserves in heaven and may your heart remember him so beautifully.

May your soul rest in peace...

We are very very sorry that young Larry was killed in such a senseless, hateful crime. Our thoughts are with him and his family.

Never said this on here because there's much more to me than this, but I'm not a second class citizen myself and my heart goes out to this young man...I didn't have nearly as much courage as him at his age and his short life will not go unforgotten in mine! I'll do all I can to make a difference and live my life so that his is honored.
R.I.P. Lawrence "Larry" King and God's Speed to your family.

I am so sorry for the loss of your dear Larry. I can not imagine what you are feeling and coping with, but I can try to understand. I have talked openly with my children about acceptance of all people, including those who are gay. My sister is gay and my children love their aunt just as she is because she is family. I love her too, and her wife. I am sad, though, when I find myself worrying about her safety. It is so wrong that any person risks their life just by being honest about who they are. My thoughts are with all of Larry's family and friends. I am glad that you have all of those lovely, special photos of him, and thank you for sharing those photos on this site. He is a beautiful young man.

I heard the story on Ellen and my heart goes out to the family. I'm proud of Lawrence being brave enough at such a young age to accept who he was and not be ashamed of it. I didn't have the courage at that age. It's a terrible tragedy that his life was cut so short. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
