Everybody knew who Larry King was at E.O. Green Junior High in Oxnard, Calif. King, fifteen, was open about his sexual orientation and known for his splashy personality and wearing high heels to classes.Take a look at the kid charged with the crime, via the link - how does a 15 year even do something like this?

On Feb. 12, 2008, King was in the school’s computer lab with 24 other students. Authorities say McInerney, an eighth-grade classmate, walked into the room with a gun and shot King in the head. McInerney ran from the building and police officers detained him a few blocks away.
King was unconscious when he arrived at the hospital. He was declared brain dead the next day, but his parents kept the 15-year-old on life support to preserve his organs for donation. He was taken off life support on Valentine’s Day last year.

Was Junior High Student Killed for Being Gay?
Sure sounds like it.
When will our top groups take Paul Cameron on?
I've been tracking this nutjob for a good 16 years now. I remember back in the 90s having to create my own fact sheets about him because our largest gay civil rights groups didn't seem to think he mattered. And even today, you never hear a word from our groups about Paul Cameron. He's only the man responsible for the lie that gays molest children. Cameron is single-handedly responsible for much of the myth that underlies anti-gay prejudice, and anti-gay legislation. And now he's spreading bigoted quackery around the world. Even worse, religious right groups in the states continue to cite his debunked "research," but again, our groups say nothing. Imagine if we used the research of a known hate group (he is a known hate group, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center) to promote gay rights. Do you think the religious right would let us get away with it? But when they use Cameron, our groups say nothing, and do nothing.
