Awesome. Totally awesome.

Firstly, the message and your delivery. Your videos always seem to have a point — unlike mine. Aside though, it’s hard to believe that any kid growing up in these times could have his life ended for such ridiculous, pointless, and hateful reasons. I can only imagine what kind of horrific, twisted ideals this “Brandon” kid’s parents must have instilled in him. I blame them much more for Larry’s death than I do Brandon.

It’s a fucked up world.
(Aside #2: You got an excellent chroma-key, too! Love the black & white over the pink, very eye-catching.)

Tim’s right, this is a seriously fucked up world.

I don’t know what else I can say. I find it very difficult to comment on entries like this, partially because I just find it so difficult to comprehend how a child can do this to another (and here I am going to do the limey act and blame the US gun laws), but also because (as of yet, and I know that its is a big ‘yet’) I have never had to suffer through any homophobic abuse. The most I’ve had to endure at school was ‘fatty’. Clearly I have been very lucky.

Kudos to you (and to Ellen, who was very clearly moved by the issue).

On a lighter note, have to agree with Tim. The visuals were great.

I have to say that I thought you did a great job on this video and the message you gave and the one that Ellen did was so great and that with education we can make a change. This is the main message of my podcast and hope by hearing our stories we can prevent what happened to Larry King from ever happening again.

Thanks for the comments, guys. I really appreciate it.

Just a couple of notes:

1. Gun laws that allow a parent to have a gun that a 14 year old kid can get and use to blow out the brains of another kid are incredibly fucked. It is insane that someone would be so cavalier with a firearm.

2. Most of us are lucky enough to not have gone through more than name calling. We’re incredibly lucky in a world of Larry Kings and Matthew Shepards.

3. I love Chroma-Key, but I had some lighting issues that I’ve now resolved. Look for more of this in the future, and hopefully as skillfully done as Mr. Reid.

You forgot my personal favorite which is “Butt Pirate.” I am so thankful that at least nothing so serious happened to me in high school where everyone knew I was gay and people knew who I had crushes on. Ever since I saw that message from Ellen I see more and more gay bashing and gay jokes. It’s disgusting. Don’t know what can be done about it though.
