The age-old conflict involving the delicate issue of sexual tolerance proceeds timidly until reaching an indefinite stalemate. Of course, a counterexample always manages to break the submission. This occasion was held on February 12; EO Green Jr. High School in Oxnard California, along with dozens of individuals, both gay and straight, were violently traumatized when a daring student named Larry King was seized from his life by a classmate. The reason is that Larry was gay. Now, both assemblies, each strangled by the extreme limit of aggressive action designated to the opposing side, apprehensively engage in a cascading game of “who is to blame.” Due to the gravity of the matter, however, no individual is completely burned by the full weight of the crime, instead the administrative representatives of EO Green, gunman Brandon McInerney and Larry King himself are all equally living with the mass of guilt that is radiates from the aftermath of the murder. offense.King was openly gay.

Brandon was so shocked by Larry's accusations that he shot him to death. EO Green did not intervene at the appropriate stage to prevent the inevitable bloodshed and to some extent encouraged King's conduct. All parties are responsible for the atrocities committed against Larry, and Larry himself contributed to his personal execution. Countless conflicts rage every day over the idea of singular sexual preferences, and for scholars who witnessed the events that transpired on February 12, the war has caused its next victim to join the ranks of many causalities of debated examples of social approval..
