The message Evangelical Christians teach their children is to hate gay people. The majority of Evangelical Christians believe the same way Fred Phelps and his people believe and its no big deal to make fun of gay people or kill them. Sad!
It's tough coming out. It's something that takes balls... guts... whichever term you prefer. Either way, someone should be commended for being honest about who they are. They shouldn't be killed for it... If anything, people should be condemned for hiding who they are because that's pathetic. I don't understand why people do things like this. It's really horrifying.
When I heard about this it broke my heart and to this day it still does. I have a lesbian aunt and a gay uncle and to me there is no difference between them and my other aunts and uncles. I proudly support the GBLT community and I hope people begin to understand that being gay isn't wrong. There is nothing wrong because if being gay is wrong then hell being straight is wrong. If you are going to discriminate on same sex couples than discriminate against ALL couples.
Btw, after watching this video. I looked up articles about this, it is SO astounding about how the articles are calling Brandon "a sweet faced boy" etc etc as if it was okay that he decided to shoot Larry in the head in a classroom full of people. I have no faith in our society any longer.
it gets better once you make it through the worst. understand the importance and potential for change. if you will, artisically find a way to kill every stereotype as we write our future. lets let go of the past and realize these moments won't last forever. it does get better.
I love Ellen for this. she's a true inspiration & she's not afraid to stand up for what's right, & for what she believes in. I 100% agree with Ellen also. Who cares if your gay, straight, bisexual? It's YOUR life. You do what YOU want to make yourself happy. Not anybody else. Your not affecting anyone. Your not hurting anyone. I have no problems with gay people and I never will. People need to get over themselves and realize that things are gonna change whether they like it or not. Deal with it!
I'm not gay...and i am a catholic ..but how the hell is it justified to kill someone because he is gay... that is not human... "It's okay to be gay" yes ellen it is!!
I'm gay, and this is a real eye opener, people like me, and many other great people are now being killed? It's the same concept as the holocaust! Maybe not as impacting on the while society, but it's the same issue, and unfortunately this can't be handled :( R.I.P Larry-3
Gosh. I'm a catholic, but how HORRIBLE! I mean, I don't support gays, and that's my opinion. But I would respect them. If I judge you, it's not because if you're straight or gay, it's because of how you treat others. Those who say they're christian may not support gays, but the least they can do is show some damn respect to them.
It shames me to be part of a race, species, whatever... where someone is killed because they love someone but in the minds of far too many it is OK to kill that person. We live in a society where men are paid to kill other men (to to fight in wars) but killed for loving other men. Why do so few seem to realize this makes no sense? If someone loved me I would horribly flattered, whether or not I liked them in return.
i wish people could know the real truth. maybe larry was just a cross dresser. the boy that shot him was verbally,physicaly and sexually abused .i wish things were handled different before this bad thing happened
Don't like gay marriages? Don't get one. Don't like cigarettes? Don't smoke them. Don't like abortions? Don't get one. Don't like sex? Don't have it. Don't like drugs? Don't do them. Don't like porn? Don't watch it. Don't like alcohol? Don't drink it. Don't like guns? Don't buy one.. Don't like your rights taken away? Don't take away someone else's.
why do people will dislikes be on this video you sad people who dislike this video get a life and stop picking on people who are guy and all the other people who do not look like you...... (you pick on people it will come back to you, and i wish it will come back to you)...
I remember when I first heard about this back in '08. I thought it was so sad and pathetic. Really, killing someone because they're gay? That's really pathetic. Larry didn't deserve to die like that. In fact, he didn't deserve to die at 15!
Im straight but when a lesbian girl asked me to be her valentine, i said yes. It doesnt mean im dating her but she is an amazing person and there was no reason to say no.RIP Larry :'(
Seriously this punk killed him 4 asking him 2 be his valentine........thats just major fucking bullshit u cut short a kids life u dont kno it he could,ve find the cure to cancer or finally fix the nations problems. RIP larry my heart goes out to ur family,friends, and to u.
Im not gay, & im a girl, but i have a really good friend who is. I support his all the way whenever he needs help and i understand what he is going though. I honestly think its okay for someone to like the same sex, its not a rule or law to not like someone the same gender. I feel really bad for Larry and hope his soul rests in peace. May God bless his family and friends. Brandon should of had second thought about what he was going to do before he killed Larry.
I don't support gays or anything but killing because you are gay is too far. I agree that gays are too often tormented and abused, that should change. I don't support gays but I am against all abuse.
listen people, im almost 15 and i havent come out yet and now im just scared to. why would you kill a child for loving somebody? Does it really affect the way YOU live? Rest In Peace Larry King
I don't get it...what's wrong with being gay?!?I mean I have a teacher who is gay and he's just wonderful! He's so nice and kind. And I never think that he's gay cuz it doesn't matter. RIP Larry :(
can we all stop hating on Christian people because I'm Christian and I think gay people are fine. I say "I love gay people with my face just not my junk"
i take stuff directed to gay ppl to heart my best friend is gay and hes not afraid to show it. i hoe people remember we are all gods children and he send us the way we are; gay, lesbian, bisexual, heterosexual we are all his children and he loves us dearly..
Shit...When I hear about young people being killed it gets to me and when I hear about openly gays being killed, it gets to me...so naturally I get really upset when I hear about the two being mixed. I just can't believe poor little Larry's life was taken because he was openly gay, something most people his age would hide. R.I.P.
It annoys me when I hear things like this. I know I try not to do any gay bashing, mostly because I know how it feels to be laughed at because I appear to be gay, which I am not but am questioning, but you know how it is. I think it starts with us, those who are here on this video now, to help those who are gay and stand up for them. They will thank us later!
this is tragic, such a shame. im so upset its untrue. i cant believe that this guy killed a gay kid and was so selfish he didnt go out and kill a few more and take some niggers with him. some people are just selfish
I'm straight, I don't find gay people are different from straight. People need to start thinking that we all are the same with different kind of interest and just have to deal with it. If my friend invited me to a movie that have a character that I hate, i wouldn't kill her for that. Because we have a different opinion, and I know that killing is not a solution. People need to change for this.. This is a major crime. Broken heart may heal in a long time but being killed is too. much..
I love you Ellen. This is a sad story, This was a major crime committed! I am a conservative, and I believe all murders are hate crimes, because when it comes to murder, it is not politics....it's murder. This kid was a human being, and who cares if he was gay? Murder is murder, and the killer should have the book thrown at him and he should be put under the prison for the rest of his life.
In this video Ellen talks about how people say stuff like thats so gay. Me and my friend whenever someone says gay we practicly spaz on the person and ask them If someone said oh thats so (there name) would you be okay with that? With someone making fun of something that makes YOU the person you are? But not to offend anyone there are some people who do think it is okay to bully gays. And that seriously needs to stop
A quote from "Born This Way" by Lady GaGa, promoting God's acceptance for homosexuals.
"No matter gay, straight or bi,
lesbian, transgendered life!
I'm on the right, track, baby,
I was born to survive!"
Born to survive from the worldwide prejudice against gays and sexually confused people.
They were born that way, and if God made them that way, then He made sure that He didn't make any mistakes on His creations. Being gay is not an abomination, being a hostile homophobe is. That malicious act f
for those who think that being gay is a choice, tell me when you chose to be straight. at what moment in your life did you think, "hmmm...i don't want to be gay, i choose to be straight."
It's really sad. I would consider myself to be open and accecpting of everyone. I work with a veterinarian who is gay and I caught myself saying something to the fact of "Oh that's so gay". As soon as I said it, I felt like CRAP! She is an amazing person and a very good friend and something that I said could have had a negative impact on a friend. This is my public appology to anyone that has ever been affected by something negative that I have said.
Homophobia needs to end NOW. This world is getting ridiculous, killing people because they want to love. Such a backwards society. I am NOT a second class citizen, Ellen is 100% right. Thank you for this video. STOP HOMOPHOBIA. STAND UP TO HOMOPHOBES. This has to be a collective effort, let's start the revolution!
I feel all the pain and suffering we cause others, the hate, the condamnation, the suffering, you will have to experience, feel, I mean truely feel for yourself. That will be the judgement, not eternal damanation failed faiths claim, but self judgement of ones heart, to know the suffering of each other so the love for each other will replace all that. Only then will any of us know true unconditional love and step close to God.
Do people realize Leviticus laws are mostly Illegle?
I never really realized how many jokes are about gay people. But Ellen is right, it is really the start of separating one group and not treat them to same as other people. It is so amazing of Ellen that she even feels sorry for the killer, even though he did a terrible, horrible thing. More people should be like Ellen.
Does anyone notice the videos on youtube that support gays or are in favor of gays have the highest rated comments by the gays or the gay supporters and not the haters? That's because being gay is not a sin. Being gay is not a choice and being gay is normal. I knew I was gay in pre kindergarden and yeah maybe I was in denial a little when I was growing up but deep, deep down I knew who I was and I was waiting for the courage to finally admit it to myself and everyone around me. =)
Wow ! People Are So Cruel . Im Not gay But My sister is & Support The Gay Community 100000% . I think Everyone deserves LOVE no matter size , shape , race or gender . i think people should get over themselves because being is gay isnt hurting anyone . R.I.P larry & P.s i love Ellen <33 Forveverrr !
Thank god we have someone like Ellen to bring this message and make people aware. <3 best wishes to Larry, his family, and even Brandon, i hope he comes to find that what he did was wrong.
I look up to Ellen so much. She is my role model. She shows me that no matter what people do because you're gay you can still live a wonderful life and get to where you want to be in life. She's such a strong woman and an amazing role model for all, not just gay people.
This sickens me. How can someone say that straight people are better and the right way to be when shit like this happens. You never hear about gay people killing straight people because they are straight. And where the fuck did people get the idea that gays are pedophiles?? I've never heard of a gay pedophile. Wake up. Look around. And realize that gay people are just trying to be happy and loved.
Why is gay being different!? It's really weird to me how being straight is normal! This is a messed up world and I everyone does their part to help it we could have a better place for everyone! Everyone is different! We all love different people! I don't think it's all brandons fault I think it the messed up world we live in! Love everyone! Peace! Rip Larry!
i love ellen, heart goes to lose family and friend who loved him, as a gay male i can only see the injustis of someone losing their life for having feelings for someone of the same sex, unfortunatly their are the few people that think u can only love someone if it means u can reproduce from them, so wrong love is so much more than that x
thats it... IM GAY I DONT CHOSE IT ITS NOT SIN GOD STILL LOVES ME AND IM GOING TO COME OUT AS SOON AS I THINK MY DAD WONT KICK ME OUT :P THIS IS LIKE... I LIVE AS A 15 YEAR OLD AND IIM GAYU AND IM IN THE 8TH GRADE... THIS IS TO MUCH THAT BOY IS THE FUCKING SICK ONE NOT ME HELL IM NORM ALMOST ALL GAYS WANT TO BE STRAIGHT AT SOME POINT THAY HATE THAT THAY ARE GAY THAT RING RIGHT NOW I WOULD BE SHAMED TO BE STRAIGHT
rip larry and she is right it is tragic and sad. there is no reason any one gay straight bi or asexual should be treated any different then anyone else. i may be a straight man, but i still support the gay and other alternative lifestyles to the fullest. it's their right to be as they are. my sympathy and warmest wishes go out to this boy's family.
being gay isnt a choice, why would kids CHOOSE to be pick on, harrassed and have people turn their back on them? why would anyone choose that? i think gay people are the bravest people to admit to a society that they are something that most people look down on. no one should be harrased and shunned for their own sexual orientation
This is a terrible story. My heart goes out to Larry and his friends and family. I do not agree that a gay joke, ethnic joke or the like is necessarily wrong. I think that people need to be smarter than thinking that a joke is meant to be serious.
Ellen touched on something important... she referred to herself as "not a political person" ... well when the offense becomes "personal" that's when people get Political !!! So congrats Ellen, by speaking out you are now 'officially' political !!
Being gay is all about you find something magic about that one person that happens to be another girl/boy. This magic is found by the straight people as well. That's why we end up being together. I wish I find someone one day that will like me. I know I have an easy time to find good spots in people. It's all about feeling good. No one force you, you just are gay/straight. But if you sink so low to bully and even kill a person because of who they are, I really can't believe you.
i am sorry that this happened to larry, it was a tradgedy that someone was murdered for being who they are. but there is a giant leap between telling a gay joke and physically hurting or murdering someone. just because it is pollitically incorrect to call someone a faggot does not mean that individual should be censored. we all have our views and even the ignorant have the right to express theirs. im sorry this had to happen R.I.P Larry
wow they need to stop about the gay if they are gay they are still human they are just different soo this is soo stupid some people are just terrible :( larry
Larry was brave for having the courage to ask a boy from whom he did not know the sexuality to be his valentine. I wish I will ever be half as brave as he was. I wish ALL the haters (haters of a certain religion, sexuality, ethinical background, and all the other stuff you can think of in this line) nothing but bad things to happen to them. And always remembre this:
If gay people are gods mistakes, that means that god is not almighty!
P.S. Sorry for my bad English, it's not my first language
Ellen, I absolutely adore you. It is you, and people like you that give me hope that our country will become less narrow minded. We should change hate, we should love. I love that you are so compassionate about the value of human life. Thank you. :)
Gay- I see it as one of those things in life that r about who a person is in the inside that can't be changed. I think gay just means to be sexually attracted to the same sex. That's all it is to me and who I am. I'm bi and I'm not afraid to say it. Unless your 13yrs old and go to a catholic/private school. Which I am and afraid if I come out of the closet. Gay is not a choice. Don't ask don't tell should be re appealed.
Poor baby, all he wanted was some love and what he got was cruel beyond compare. RIP Larry, I wish I could've given you a big hug before you left us. :"(
@hadylady02 Please know that not all Christians are like what you believe. There are radicals in every type of belief from muslims to agnostics, they'res always going to be people who go above and beyond what they should. Just know that the behavior of some Christians doesn't reflect the feelings of Christianity in general. This is a tragedy and should not have happened.
@hadylady02 christian like? even though christianity is about accepting people for who they are teaches that murder is one of the worst things you can do? ignore extremist christians, if they really followed the bible they would know that as long as gay person lives their life in a productive, unselfish, respectful and caring way, they deserve as many rights as the rest of us, apart from marriage, but thats another argument.
@hadylady02 I whant to say that I find it Awfull that people that are gay are killed because of it. People that do are the ones that should die but I whant to comment on one thing you wrote. It is not Christian-like. I don't know where yo are from but I am a christian and I supporte Gay people. Thou I'm not Catholic (spelling?).
@hadylady02 And it is the Catholic that, what I've seen, that hates gay people. They are so extrem. Yes there are extrem christian that isn't catholic but here, in Sweden, it is okey for a Christian to be gay because God Made him or her that way and thats the way he or She are ment to be. As I've heard people say: God doesn't make misstakes.
@hadylady02 Christians and all religious in general groups have been killing people because they're different since the beginning. It's actually right up their ally! Only religion can murder billions of people for thousands of years yet still claim to be the victims and get away with it. Welcome to the world we live in! LGBT rights must be observed world wide!
@hadylady02 That hurts and saying that about christians is just as bad as gay discrimination. yes, maybe an individual person who is a christian might be completely mislead and think that killing someone for being gay is right but that is NOT what we believe, no matter what you've heard or what you've conjured up in your mind. I don't care that this was 9 months ago. I am so so sorry to hear this story as well.
@mathias265 His defense team keeps filing motion after motion to have the case dismissed..or the judge dismissed...or the DA dismissed. They were supposed to finally start jury selection a couple weeks ago but that hasn't happened because of all the motions. Current info on Ventura County Star website.
Is this truly the future we want our children to live in? A future where you aren't allowed to live if you're born different? A future where everyone must fit the cookie-cutter society norms? Our children deserve a better future. Brandon learned this hatred. This is hatred is not something we are born with. While our sexuality is. We need to raise our children to understand others and be accepting or I fear we will have no future to hand over to our children.
It's a shame. It seems in America that gay women are rather excepted but gay men aren't as much.
..15 year old murderer, jeez. I don't understand why people hate gays so much. Christians(and most religions) are against gays (not all, just a heavy percentage). Hate the sin not the sinner, but hating isn't Christian- or is it very religious at all. I wish the world would pull its finger out but sadly it will never happen.
how sad

It annoys me when I hear things like this. I know I try not to do any gay bashing, mostly because I know how it feels to be laughed at because I appear to be gay, which I am not but am questioning, but you know how it is. I think it starts with us, those who are here on this video now, to help those who are gay and stand up for them. They will thank us later!

I'm straight, I don't find gay people are different from straight. People need to start thinking that we all are the same with different kind of interest and just have to deal with it. If my friend invited me to a movie that have a character that I hate, i wouldn't kill her for that. Because we have a different opinion, and I know that killing is not a solution. People need to change for this.. This is a major crime. Broken heart may heal in a long time but being killed is too. much..

I love you Ellen. This is a sad story, This was a major crime committed! I am a conservative, and I believe all murders are hate crimes, because when it comes to murder, it is not politics....it's murder. This kid was a human being, and who cares if he was gay? Murder is murder, and the killer should have the book thrown at him and he should be put under the prison for the rest of his life.

In this video Ellen talks about how people say stuff like thats so gay. Me and my friend whenever someone says gay we practicly spaz on the person and ask them If someone said oh thats so (there name) would you be okay with that? With someone making fun of something that makes YOU the person you are? But not to offend anyone there are some people who do think it is okay to bully gays. And that seriously needs to stop

A quote from "Born This Way" by Lady GaGa, promoting God's acceptance for homosexuals.
"No matter gay, straight or bi,
lesbian, transgendered life!
I'm on the right, track, baby,
I was born to survive!"
Born to survive from the worldwide prejudice against gays and sexually confused people.
They were born that way, and if God made them that way, then He made sure that He didn't make any mistakes on His creations. Being gay is not an abomination, being a hostile homophobe is. That malicious act f

It's really sad. I would consider myself to be open and accecpting of everyone. I work with a veterinarian who is gay and I caught myself saying something to the fact of "Oh that's so gay". As soon as I said it, I felt like CRAP! She is an amazing person and a very good friend and something that I said could have had a negative impact on a friend. This is my public appology to anyone that has ever been affected by something negative that I have said.

I feel all the pain and suffering we cause others, the hate, the condamnation, the suffering, you will have to experience, feel, I mean truely feel for yourself. That will be the judgement, not eternal damanation failed faiths claim, but self judgement of ones heart, to know the suffering of each other so the love for each other will replace all that. Only then will any of us know true unconditional love and step close to God.

I never really realized how many jokes are about gay people. But Ellen is right, it is really the start of separating one group and not treat them to same as other people. It is so amazing of Ellen that she even feels sorry for the killer, even though he did a terrible, horrible thing. More people should be like Ellen.

Does anyone notice the videos on youtube that support gays or are in favor of gays have the highest rated comments by the gays or the gay supporters and not the haters? That's because being gay is not a sin. Being gay is not a choice and being gay is normal. I knew I was gay in pre kindergarden and yeah maybe I was in denial a little when I was growing up but deep, deep down I knew who I was and I was waiting for the courage to finally admit it to myself and everyone around me. =)

Being gay is all about you find something magic about that one person that happens to be another girl/boy. This magic is found by the straight people as well. That's why we end up being together. I wish I find someone one day that will like me. I know I have an easy time to find good spots in people. It's all about feeling good. No one force you, you just are gay/straight. But if you sink so low to bully and even kill a person because of who they are, I really can't believe you.

Larry was brave for having the courage to ask a boy from whom he did not know the sexuality to be his valentine. I wish I will ever be half as brave as he was. I wish ALL the haters (haters of a certain religion, sexuality, ethinical background, and all the other stuff you can think of in this line) nothing but bad things to happen to them. And always remembre this:
If gay people are gods mistakes, that means that god is not almighty!

Gay- I see it as one of those things in life that r about who a person is in the inside that can't be changed. I think gay just means to be sexually attracted to the same sex. That's all it is to me and who I am. I'm bi and I'm not afraid to say it. Unless your 13yrs old and go to a catholic/private school. Which I am and afraid if I come out of the closet. Gay is not a choice. Don't ask don't tell should be re appealed.

@hadylady02 Please know that not all Christians are like what you believe.

Just know that the behavior of some Christians doesn't reflect the feelings of Christianity in general. This is a tragedy and should not have happened.

@hadylady02 christian like? even though christianity is about accepting people for who they are teaches that murder is one of the worst things you can do? ignore extremist christians, if they really followed the bible they would know that as long as gay person lives their life in a productive, unselfish, respectful and caring way, they deserve as many rights as the rest of us, apart from marriage, but thats another argument.

@hadylady02 And it is the Catholic that, what I've seen, that hates gay people. They are so extrem. Yes there are extrem christian that isn't catholic but here, in Sweden, it is okey for a Christian to be gay because God Made him or her that way and thats the way he or She are ment to be. As I've heard people say: God doesn't make misstakes.

@hadylady02 Christians and all religious in general groups have been killing people because they're different since the beginning. It's actually right up their ally!

We need to raise our children to understand others and be accepting or I fear we will have no future to hand over to our children.

It's a shame. It seems in America that gay women are rather excepted but gay men aren't as much.
..15 year old murderer, jeez. I don't understand why people hate gays so much. Christians(and most religions) are against gays (not all, just a heavy percentage). Hate the sin not the sinner, but hating isn't Christian- or is it very religious at all. I wish the world would pull its finger out but sadly it will never happen.
