The blogosphere and LGBT media outlets across the country have reported the utterly tragic and senseless murder of 15-year-old Lawrence King last Tuesday inside an Oxnard, Calif., junior high school allegedly because he was gay. The movement for LGBT rights have understandably expressed their shock and sadness at his death and have also used his murder to reaffirm their support for federal hate crimes legislation.
Larry's death is certainly a tragedy that reminds all of us anti-LGBT violence remains a clear and present problem in classrooms, on the streets and in homes around the country (and the world.) And we all have a responsibility to stand up and speak out against this violence and the culture of homophobia and intolerance that continues to foster it. Rest in peace Larry!
