Link4/19/2008
"To The Editor: Lawrence King was up-front on his feelings about being
gay. On Feb. 12, 15-year-old Lawrence was shot twice in the head in
front of classmates by Brandon McInerney, an eighth grade classmate at
Green Junior High School in Oxnard, Calif. He died two days later.
McInerney, 14, has been charged with murder as a hate crime. The lives
of two families have been altered forever."
