  • and this happend all because of all the homophobes in our society, if he was or wasnt gay shouldnt matter

  • @sandynikkicarol exactly, homosexuality is not the issue here, as it is not clear as to whether the young man was gay or not (and he was so young he probably did not know himself) but the fact that there is such hatred toward homosexuality and homoesexual people. homophobia is the disease. we should cure homophobia and stop trying to cure homosexuality.

  • the boy wasn't gay he was taunted because he was sensitive

  • @halliezmandy he was taunted because he was sensitive which indicates that he was taunted for exhibiting a non-masculine quality which caused other guys to question his masculinity and thus his heterosexuality. this just shows how deep the issue of homophobia is. it is a part of a much greater issue in our society which is gender socialization in which there are certain norms that we are forced to maintain ourselves in based on our perceived gender...

  • This is a very powerful video! My heart goes out to the Walker Hoover and Herrera families. It's sad that in this day and age people STILL have such hate and intolerance in their hearts.

    Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

  • @mrcharlieblack thank you for taking the time to watch this video!!!!!

  • Carl was not gay!! why does everyone want to put him in a LGBT group when all that was ever said about him is that he acted like a girl?? I've know guys who act like girls but grew up to be straight, not to mention he was only 9! being 9 and acting like a girl doesn't mean he was gay!

  • Borpee2 you heartless motherfucker I hope you get treated the same way he did

  • R.I.P Carlos
