honor Lawrence King, the 15-year-old gay student at E.O.
Green Junior High School in Oxnard, Calif., who was
shot twice in the head Tuesday by a fellow
student who had bullied him for his
gender-nonconforming behavior and appearance. King had been
pronounced brain-dead on Wednesday and was removed
from life support Thursday so that his organs could be
donated.

gather at 7 p.m. at the Art Barn, located at 856 East
Thompson Blvd., in Ventura, and walk to the beach
