4.
People who are gay need to realize that many people who are not gay are repulsed and enraged, not flattered, at the thought of being the object of someone's gay desires.

8. that is so sad.
its sorry as hell that some a-hole homophobe had to go off the deep end on this poor kid
if it were just some random fat/ugly/uncool girl would he have killed her???
i dont think so
Sexual orientation is predetermined in the womb, its not a choice and people really shouldnt feel such hatred for homosexuals. Its not right to hate people for their color or gender, why is it so accepted to hate gays?
It makes me sick

& just so you know, I am a married mother of two young boys ............ being open minded isn't very hard to do people

9. Thank you TMZ for posting this video. But, it's disappointing to see the idiots making such hateful comments in regards to this kind of topic.

How sad is it that in this world, in this day and age, getting murdered is something gays have the possibility of facing if they choose to be open. Hell, the kid was just asking the guy to be his Valentine. All the guy could've said was "No thanks" and left it at that. How screwed up of a child do you need to be to go out and kill someone for doing something so sweet and so harmless?

Myself, I'm barely a year out of high school and I was only open to a handful of people. All gays should be careful in regards to their sexuality, because things like this are obviously capable of happening.

11. Hey #5, your a ss should be flattered if ANYone wanted you. Especially a gay person, we're picky, b itch.

12. Okay, just to clarify... Yes, the murder of any child is tragic. No matter what the reason. This is a terrible thing for his family and friends to go through. Ellen on the other hand... I don't need TV people to try to explain to me why I should feel bad. I have morals. I have compassion. But when Ellen or Oprah or any of those day-time talk show people show emotion... it's for the ratings and publicity.

She showed more emotion over the dog incident than she did the death of a child.

13. I just showed this video to my 13 and almost 15 year old sons. IT makes me CRAZY that they use the term gay all the time as a put down.. DUDE that's so Gay or, you are SO GAY. EVERY time I hear that from their mouths, they get a good talking to from their CATHOLIC mother! Is it a lifestyle I embrace, no, but to hate someone because of it, or to think they are better is NOT OK. Thanks, Ellen for this video. It opened a good dialog with my sons.
