LGBT youth and allies will gather at the Community Church of Boston March 12 to mourn the death of Lawrence King, a 15-year-old gay middle-school student from Oxnard, California, who was gunned down in his classroom last month. Police believe the murder was an anti-gay hate crime.
The two organizations planning the vigil, the Boston Alliance of GLBT Youth (BAGLY) and the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) of Boston, are encouraging youth to attend and to use the event to talk about their reactions to the murder.
