His crime should remain on his record, however, because he snuffed out someone's life for nothing more serious than flirting. 6-What a horrible, horrible tragedy, that Lawrence's life should be ended at fifteen years of age. And his death is applauded by bigots. 1-Homosexuality is not grounds for murder.

A gene inherited from the mother and the amount of testosterone in the mother’s womb are both now considered to be the factors that cause some people to be born gay. That’s considered by scientists by the way, not considered by God bothering twats that believe mankind is the incestuous offspring of Adam and Eve making out in the Garden of Eden. What IS a learned belief if the bigotry to churn out. It is not something you were born with it is the product of warped social conditioning and poor education.

Bryan what do youmean paying off the way it always has nobody murdered people in ancient Rome for having paintings of gay sex on their walls and in ancient Greece Heterosexuality was seen as something necessary that could never really be enjoyed as much as gay sex could. The stringent opression of homosexuality is relatively recent. There's evidence that it was only part way through the middle ages it started when the church started reminding people it was a sin. Look what that did to the middle ages. What an awful thing for his parents to say.

Also I'd like to see your so called evidence that gayness has caused the downfall of any society yet. Believe it or not, unlike religion, we're not out to recruit new members or oppress anyone that doesn't conform to our rigid agenda. Just because gay oppression has been the norm for thousands of years doesn't mean that the status quo should go unchallenged. Until recently in living memory black oppression was the norm. Were you happy that that one went the way of the dinosaur? Bryan- are you saying that gayness justifies murder, because it sounds a hell of a lot like it.

However, by the same token, I would not convict the murderer for their action (well, a light sentence would be all I would go for.. 5-10 years). I think the homosexual agenda of shoving this sickening perversion down people's throats is paying off the same way it has for thousands of years-- murder. I blame the parents for turning the boy gay, it IS a learned behavior, not something "genetic" [as hard as they try to prove it, it's never been]. The homosexual was saved from a life time of ridicule, offending others, and furthering the down fall of our society. Too bad, too... he's a handsome kid who could have had a lot going for him.

Lawrence was living in a shelter for abused kids. Now the parents seem to be wanting to profit from Lawrence's death. I guess they feel like they won the lottery--- they got rid of their gay son and get to try to rake in the cash. The parents had kicked lawrence out before he was killed.

Until it is established that sexual orientation is just as much a fundamental right as any other, excuses can be made for mindless tragic events.
