Re: blah blah –
Way to be a fucker.
That's such a sad story. It's tragic that kids that young are already so full of hatred. Something needs to be done here. We can't let this happen to our youth.
AHHH PEREZ U CANT KEEP OR MOUTH SHUT EVEN IF SOMEONE PUT A GUN TO UR HEAD…SO I THINK IT WD BE ENOUGH IF U DONT PUT SOMEBODY'S COCK IN UR MOUTH FOR ONE FULL DAY..THAT'LL BE UR VOW OF SILENCE… NOT SUCKING COCKS FOR ONE FULL DAY…LETS C IF U CAN DO IT…i am all for gay rights and am going to keep this silence thing on for the whole day
You GO Larry! For an old man, I'm impressed with your expression of human understanding.
Oh my god, what ashame i remember seeing this on the net a while back. I would be doing it but work will not allow it. RIP Larry
smhas i thinkLarry King can be an annoyin idiot, he made me love his old wrinkled ass for comin out with an such important messag as this one . YeaY Larry No Tolerance for Homophbics!
I live in San Francisco and I grew up that all are equal. I am straight but have many friends to hear this happening so close to home AGAIN kills me. My sister (who is a high school student) will do this tomorrow. I will also express it at work. I work for a hospital and people see me I am going to wear a sticker that says Day Of Silence. This hate needs to stop!!!!!
Wow. This is a step in the right direction. All Media outlets need to take this step in the fight against sexual discrimination.
Solidarity. I will be celebrating Day of Silence tomorrow as a strong ally of the LGBTQ community.
Cheers to that!!
May all rest in peace
American you have Lost your Soul!
The Rise and Fall of the U.S.A. - It is Sad that we are witnessing the Fall of a country that HAD the Potential to be Great for Everyone!!
Aww I didnt know larry was so sweet =]
thanks Larry King.
My university, University of Connecticut, held a day of remembrance for this poor boy shot.
word up larry king,
all hail the king
You go to school to learn, not show off your sexuality. Keep your personal business in the bedroom and do your fucking homework, jerk. Day of silence my ass, what is it that's hoped to be accomplished? How GAY.
This is a very sad story & I feel horrible for the innocent kid & his parents. No one deserves to be killed based upon their sexual orientation. HOWEVER, IT REALLY ANNOYS ME THAT THE MEDIA FOCUSES ON THIS ONE BOY, WHEN GANG CRMES & KILLINGS HAPPEN EVERYDAY IN OXNARD COMMITTED BY MANY ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. OXNARD IS THE NEW COMPTON, EXCEPT THAT IT IS ALL HISPANIC GANGS. INNOCENT PEOPLE ARE SHOT ALL THE TIME IN OXNARD EVEN OUTSIDE OF GANG TERRITORY & THE MEDIA SAYS NOTHING ABOUT THOSE VICTIMS!!!!!!!!! THE MEDIA FOCUSES ON CRIMES AGAINST GAYS (WHICH THEY SHOULD CAUSE THAT IS HORRIBLE TOO) BUT IGNORES CRIMES INVOLVING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT GANG MEMBER & THE INNOCENT PEOPLE CAUGHT IN THEIR FIGHTING.
beautiful. thank you.
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?
Why is it OK to make fun of and make gay people miserable? To beat and maybe even to kill them? It seems like it is perfectly acceptable in the U.S.
In fact, it cuts across all ethnic and religious boundaries that it is OK to hurt these people and to attempt to drive them out. America is ass backwards on this. Homophobic behavior is a convenient outlet for straight people's aggressions, 'cuz it's always OK to dump on the gay person.
I swear I will never say anything mean about Larry King again.
THANK YOU LARRY KING
Re: WHAT ABOUT ALL THE OTHER KIDS? –
You're talking about two different things. A straight kid, no matter where he comes from, whether he is legally or illegally in this country, innocent or a ciminal, has the entire world in his corner simply because, as a straight kid, he is in the majority. (Whether he chooses be in a gang and to act like a criminal is his choice!)
But a gay kid is 100% on his own. His teachers and the principal won't back him up for lots of reasons (their own version of peer pressure, or their own homphobia, for example.) And his parents or church? Forget them too. Nobody wants a gay kid.
I get your point but gay kids have no back up. I think they deserve more attention than a gang banger who, it seems to me, could have a much easier time fitting in than any gay kid.
i do the day of silence every year because i have gay friends who deal with the discrimination… i see how it is not right! whoever joins us tomorrow is my new bff! jk lol, but i love everyone who is participating…….
Perez, gay killing happens every day in Jamaica. It's routine and is encouraged by the dancehall music playing on our airwaves.
Do your part by boycotting dancehall music!
Spare a PSA for our very SAD country.
bravo. larry king.
I'm surprised this message came from Larry King. As an interviewer, he has to keep his politics personal to maintain professional objectivity. I've always kind of suspected he became an increasing closet conservative in his older years. Of course, the issue of kids' safety in school is universal. Still, I am pleasantly surprised to hear LK promote this important cause.
i love larry king
Re: The D – shut the fuck up.
i am doing the day of silence & sticking up for all my gay friends at school!!!! please others join!!!!!!!
Re: The D –
Right….if only the heteros would do the same then that would be fair….they demonstrate their liking for the girls in school in their way of dressing and their way of acting towards them. Why should there be a double standard? Your redneck rules should apply to everyone then.
Thats so wrong, love is love, there is so little of it in this world so who cares if you love guys or girls, as long as your actually loving someone.
Not our fault the murderer had a gun. That lad, Larry, should have carried a pistol to protect himself. It is a lack of guns that is the problem.
People should have RESPECTFUL comments and not vulgar remarks on these message boards. I swear people have no compassion for such sensitive and important posts that Perez makes.
It is sad that kids are full of hatred. People need to educate themselves. this is a very sad story. Thanks Perez for sharing it.
Kudos to that!
Bravo Larry and Perez!! I encourage all children and adults to participate in the Day of Silence, no matter their walk of life. My oldest son is gay. When I hear stories like this it angers me and makes me sad. No one person should ever feel as if they have to keep who they truly are locked inside in fear of actions like this.
Re: WHAT ABOUT ALL THE OTHER KIDS? –
Excuse me? Do you actually LIVE in Oxnard? I do. And it is NOT the "new Compton". Oxnard is far from perfect, but stop trying to make it sound like a total hellhole, horrible place. Ugh. Learn.
That is the truth. God it's as if people actually think they can choose their sexual orientation. No, you're born with it and that's that. I wish people would stop making a huge deal out of it. It's like saying to someone stop being a human and start being a vampire. No, it just doesn't work like that. You are what you are. No one chooses to be gay or straight.
Every student DOES deserve to feel safe in school.
BIT LATE PEREZ……..i even bogged about this yesterday…blah ..youre boring
not only against homophobia but against all forms of hate!!!
Lets live in a free world, to live life fully!
with less polution and more love!
i am sooo doing it
Re: NRA – are you serious? Your ignorance disgusts me. Why are guns in the hands of children? Why do so many Americans think guns can solve problems!!?
I will respect the day of silence.
one less homo in the world…
Due to extenuating circumstances, my school had it's day of silence last week and a very small amount of us participated. People knew what we were doing and spent the entire day teasing us/trying to make us talk — making light of a very important stance on a very real issue. If you see people keeping the Day of Silence, please be respectful.
Re: GIBBYWIBBY – what idiot wrote this? you HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! grow the hell up and keep your mouth shut until you do. somebody should have aborted you. you obviously have no idea the sacrifices and work it takes to raise a child with a disability.
As a Christian myself, I am saddened by ALL acts of hatred and bullying. I wish there was a way other than one of silence, to bring light to a topic that really needs a way to be resolved. It truely breaks my heart and I pray for the hatred and bullying to stop on the lives of the innocent.
amen!!
Good for him! And I will pay my silent respect.
Re: Victoria –
Actually, I live only about 30 minutes north of Oxnard & because I get your guy's local news, I hear all the time in the news that another person has been shot there. I have also been to Oxnard many times and it is S-C-A-R-Y!!! ARE YOU SERIOUSLY DENYING THAT YOU GUYS DON'T HAVE A HUGE GANG PROBLEM THERE? A COUPLE OF INNOCENT PEOPLE GOT KILLED LAST YEAR THAT WEREN'T EVEN GANG MEMBERS–JUST INNOCENT PEOPLE TRYING TO LIVE PEACEFULLY. WAKE UP–YOUR DENIAL ISN'T HELPING ANYONE.
OXNARD MAY NOT BE COMPTON YET, BUT W/ THE 14 GANGS YOU GUYS HAVE, YOU GUYS MUST JUST BE ON YOUR WAY. OH YEAH, AND OXNARD WAS THE WORST CITY IN ALL OF CALIFORNIA FOR DUIs.
A Formal Denunciation of the Day of Silence
Dear Participants of the Day of Silence,
By doing this you are only insinuating the stereotypes presented by the mainstream, and thus you are further ostracizing yourselves from the general population. If you long to be accepted why must you exhibit your lifestyles so obnoxiously? We don't care if you like the same sex, stop overplaying it. The persecution you go through is vastly outshone by countless other groups of people who, much more grateful than yourselves, are going through actual oppression. How many people die from starvation each day? How about war? Disease? Now how many gay people are killed each day because they are gay?
As for the non-gays who are staying silent in support: Stop trying to be "in" with the gay community. You are charlatans of the “holier than thou” variety who parade around acting as if you are so great for "caring" about people. You are just like the pseudo-intellectuals who put up “Save Darfur” posters as if it matters. It is just a fad for you, in all your teenage angst, to latch onto so you don't have to face the reality that, as an individual, your personality lacks substance. And for the few of you who are naïve enough to actually care, realize that what you do doesn't impact anything of cosmic and long-term importance.
Glad Larry King is spreading such an important message!
good for you larry king! i'm gay nd i had a hard time in high school….. this is enough with all the bullshit that we need to go through… its hard enough being a teenage with out being made fun of for something you cant help….
its sad… honestly
I say : Respect, Larry
Being bullied for ANY reason is horrible, it's the reason things like columbine happen. I think this day of silence needs to target a broader range of people to stick up for.
YOU TELL 'EM LARRY ;D
Re: Anonymous – Re: Anonymous –
Interesting insite.
i can understand people not liking homophobics but, if you choose not to associate yourself with gay people thats your choice because many know that the gay lifestyle is abomination. i also think that it's sad that this whole gay thing is being forcefed onto the people it is not a good life style to live in Gods's eyes therefore it should not be on the main stream ,but at the same time there is no reason to hate someone like that, i respect all people even homosexuals,and r.ip to the victim,murder was uncalled for.(I have friend from africa who told me they throw stones at gay men in his village) r.i.p to the victim,
God Bless
Re: The D – What's hoped to be accomplished is the end of one child shooting another child on school property, irrelevant of sexuality because that should NEVER happen under ANY circumstances. And yes most people are proud of the fact that they are NOT homophobic and may choose to express their concern through silence. In a world full of noise it's actually quite a beautiful demonstration for non-violence and understanding don't you think?
Uhh, Huh-huh-huh-huh-huh… He said "Oxnard."
Yeah, "Oxnard," that's funny.
Wow. This is awesome.
At my school, we have a GSA club (Gay Straight Alliance) and so many people are participating. Im excited. After school we will have a Break the Silence Party.
We ALL need to wake-up to homiphobia!!! its the most distructive thing imaginable. I am gay and have been since i was born when i was 4yrs old i wanted to play with barbie not trucks do you think i chose to feel this way? do you think i was FORCING my feelings on others? i couldnt help the way i was !!! i was a child for gods sake and i tried to hide my feminine ways as i was constantly teased as soon as i started school i was too young to even understand how i was difernt to the others, i was bullied my whole school life and the effect it has had on my life is astronomicle i have suffred severe depression and attempted suicide several times i had to drop out of school and leave home, my only means of servival prostitution, at this point in my life at 23yrs old i have severe anxiety and have locked evryone out of my lifei dont know how to live anymore, and abuse drugs. do not work i simply lock myself in the house allday and night hardly leaving. So that is what homiphobia has done to my life and believe me i did not force my sexuality on others infact i tried to hide it to the point where i cant even talk to people anymore . THAT IS WHAT HOMIPHOBIA DOES. if its not a bullet in the back of the head its a lifetime of pain and psycoligists.
OBVIOUSLY I DONT SUPPORT THAT KID BEING KILLED, BUT HE SHOULDNT HAVE BEEN FUCKENING UP THE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT BY FORCING HIS GAY CRAP ON THE OTHER KIDS. WE DONT KNOW THE TRUE STORY EITHER, HE MIGHT HAVE MOLESTED THAT OTHER KID. IF YOURE A GAY JUST LEAVE YOU GAY SHIT AT HOME, THE REST OF THE WORLD DOESNT WANT TO BE EXPOSED TO YOUR SICK SHIT.
maybe if more gays got the crap beaten out of them they would quit being gay and then they wouldnt have all those problems.
im not in favor of killing gays but i do support gay bashing as a means of preventing gays from imposing their lifestyle on the rest of society
Re: quilty – what you dont understand is that gays are not forcing anythiing on you they are just being who they are, you're type are the reason this world is so fucked up.
AMEN! We should need some of that down here in Italy…
Amen.
Re: quilty – You ignorant little fool.
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!
How sad is it that we live in the most advanced country in the world, yet we still face backwards actions such as this? What a waste of young potential - both boys.
Re: GARY – You homophobic small minded idiots make me sick. The meaning of 'gay' is not pervert. Go get a dictionary.
Re: quilty – YOU ARE IGNORENT!!!!!!!
Could not agree more!
I don't support violence against gays, but seriously, what the fuck is not talking all day going to accomplish? Stir up some chaos, that'll get the message across.
wow! thanks Larry! amazing support
Wow what is this worl coming to? Im sooo shoked
Re: NRA – That is the fucking stupidest thing I've ever heard. Most schools now have a strict " No tolerance policy" when it comes to weapons of anykind. And futhermore.. how would this child have known he was going to be killed? Would he have just brought a gun to "be safe" because he's gay? Probably not.
awwe how nice.
Re: GIBBYWIBBY –
what are you talking about? When you are pregnant and you have the option to abort a child there is no way of telling if a child is going to be deformed.. you idiot!
thats what every gay deserves!!
