Larry King on Larry King
You may recall the events of a few of months ago when gay student Lawrence King was murdered by a fellow student. On 25 April a national day of silence will be observed by many students in many schools to bring attention to the problem of bullying and name-calling faced by so many young people who are seen as different. Yes, I was one of those taunted for being different.
The annual event is sponsored by GLSEN, the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network. Naturally the idea infuriates the anti-gay forces, who every year pathetically try to figure out how they can label silence as "disruptive behavior" and "promoting homosexuality". This year's event is dedicated to the memory of Lawrence King.
The television celebrity Larry King has recorded a public-service announcement about the Day of Silence and the other Larry King. I thought it was worth hearing.
