So, as children come out at earlier ages, apparently the homophobia surrounding these newly out youngsters is intensifying at a younger age as well. Lawrence King, a 15 year old student in Oxnard, was openly gay at his middle school. This apparently did not sit well with his classmate, Brandon McInerney, shot Lawrence to death in a school computer lab in front of their other classmates and teacher. Apparently Larry had told Brandon that he had a crush on him, which, you know, is the worst thing anyone could ever want--a GAY person crushing on them. Larry had already come from an abusive family and was living in a foster home. Quite sad indeed.
