With more composure than I could probably muster, Ellen reminds her viewers that something is terribly wrong. “It starts with jokes, becomes verbal abuse, becomes physical abuse and then Brandon kills his fellow eighth grade classmate just because Larry is gay.”
Thanks NG for the tip.

Thanks for posting that, Brian. It deserves to be seen, and the message spread far and wide. The fact that this happened in a town I have spent time in, to a beautiful kid who could be the younger version of several of my friends, breaks my heart. Ellen is awesome, and I’m so glad she took the time to do that.
