Just received an email from Lorri Jean, the CEO of the L.A. Gay and Lesbian Center, one of the largest gay and lesbian organizations in the world, informing me about another public response to the anti-gay killing of Lawrence King, 16, last weekend that Mad Professah and Joe.My.God and other bloggers have been following closely.The email announcement has information about a Candlelight Vigil to be held tomorrow in West Hollywood:
Please join us for a candlelight vigil in memory of Lawrence King, the 15-year-old boy who was the victim of a hate-motivated shooting by a fellow classmate last week.
