i happened upon this video today & i also sympathize with you & your family. i have been lucky enough to avoid any sort of brutality regarding my orientation, but this reminded me of my (gay) cousin telling me he&his partner had to fire their contractor after they overheard the crew discussing photos of them, calling them names, etc. and SCARY that something worse than words could have hurt them. ah, this world. glad you're on our side! making the world a better place! the end. love, clyde

@clydevalentine2240 -- Thank you so much for your compassionate comment. I certainly hope that both you and your cousin never have to endure any kind of brutality just because of your orientation(s). Hate and brutality are so senseless. However, in some cases people react violently because they have certain feelings that they are not willing to come to terms with themselves. Please stay safe! I agree...I hate to think about what else could have happened with your cousin's situation. ~Alex

I'm sorry that your family lost someone like Tony. I can only hope that justice was serviced on the people behind his death. Best wishes to all affected by this tragedy~x

Like others that have posted so sorry for your loss :( no one deserves such a fate... It sickens me that people are so easily blinded by their hate in this day and age. It doesn't matter how you live, what you believe, where you were born, we all are the same and the day the world realizes this the better. If everyone took care of each other without bias the world would be a better place. You spread a good message that I wish everyone could see. Must stop the hate.

@Sidney38SNJ -- Thank you for having such a big heart and for your kind, compassionate comment. It's such a shame that people such as my second cousin have suffered because of extreme hatred and bigotry. It's so senseless. Thank you once again for your gracious comment. Peace2U, Kim

@wolfmother8719 -- That comment was so touching. I'm sorry it made you cry, but it really shows me what a big heart you have. You are the only one that has ever told me that the video made them cry. I will never understand how some people can have such extreme hatred in their hearts that would cause them to commit such a violent act. I will never understand the men that took my cousin's life. Thank you for caring so much. Thank you! Thank you! Peace & Love, Kim

Hello Kimberly, my serious condolances with the death of your cousin and I am glad you making an antihate video. Do know that : The "Matthew-Shepard-Act" has been through and signed by Obama, so that being killed cause of somebody's gay, is now also officilay a (federal) "hate-crime" in the US. You can look Matthews story up on Youtube. Also info on google, wikipedia.

I sent your video through to friends.

Let's all say no to Homophobia !

Thank you for steering me to your site. Life after death is returning to Sender. At least now you know he is safe. Bless you for your contribution.

Hi charitynotclarity -- Yes...It was awful. I certainly can understand your feeling of anger. This type of extreme violent and hateful act is so hard to comprehend. I can't understand how anyone could hate someone else that much. It's so senseless. My second cousin's life was taken way too soon. He was in the prime of his life. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment. I truly appreciate it!! Peace, Kim

[charitynotclarity]

How terrible, Kim, this is awful, awful, awful. Makes me feel really angry.
