Awwwe! Kurt, my poor baby! I'm hoping there are more glee stories based on the laramie project! I personally HATE fred phelps! I recently read he and his church threatened to pickett cory's funeral! Isn't god supposed to be about love and forgiveness, not hatred? Its none of fred's buiseness to go around trying to destroy people's lives like that, saying anyone who doesn't belive in his beliefs will burn in hell! I'm a roman catholic for christ sakes, how dare he call me a blood drinker! WBC has a twitter page, I mean who would want to follow him? This is just one of his ignorant, close-minded idocy and sedimental scheems that displays abosolutely no forthough towards other peoples feelings and thoughts, and isnimmediately seen as ridiculousus to EVERYONE in america, except him and his moranic followers, all those WBC people are complete idiots!

A nice idea, and I like that you didn't drag it out endlessly. Four chapters is a nice length for a story like this...and as for Matt/Kurt, well, you really made me believe it. I'm impressed, because usually I go for Puck/Kurt or Blaine/Kurt. Well done!

One thing I'd say, though, is maybe watch how you round things off. What happened to Puck? What happened to Kurt and Matt? What happened to Burt and Finn? How is Santana? Sometimes it's good to leave things hanging, but be careful what you leave ambiguous, and how you leave it, too. It can either be mysterious or appear unfinished, and in some respects this felt a little unfinished.

That said, I really, really enjoyed this. You didn't go too far with the hate crimes, and you kept the writing sweet, simple and to the point. A really enjoyable story!

Over and out.

Aww poor Kurt. That was an amazing fic, I wish it was a little longer tho. I would have loved to see how Kurt recovered, Finn atoned and if Puck ever recovered. Keep up the good work, _ Ja.

THANK YOU! I've never understood how bullying was so tolerated at McKinley; my hs didn't have a zero tolerance policy but locker shoving and such NEVER happened. Maybe my teachers were just more on top of things...idk. This was an awesome fic, hon, thanks for sharing it!

Poor Kurt! Thats just wrong, damnit. What did HE ever do to them? Glee club was the only good thing out of that.

Ah, Brittany... still Brittany :)

I adore Kartie friendship. It's so... touching.

Go Sue!

You know, I saw this fic a few months ago and couldn't bring myself to read it once I saw the line about re-enacting The Laramie Project. It made me feel sick. At the time, a group of 6 of us (myself included) staged and performed the play for our practical theatre studies exam and I'm going to be completely honest. I'd never heard of the case (if it were reported much over here, then I was too young to remember it) and was only introduced to this play by my drama teacher. It was performed in the style of the practitioner Bertolt Brecht in which we can't become emotionally involved with the script. The script is there to teach the spectators a lesson or create a debate, but not to make the audience become lost in the emotions of the characters.

So when I saw this and read down to there, what you had written, and the way in which you did it kind of brought that emotional connection back to it and for days, just thinking back to it, I felt physically sick. So I think I should thank you for that because the blunt, almost amused manner in which it was stated 'let's re-enact the Laramie Project' felt like such a kick in the gut that I realised the full power of the play and how much it had to teach. Because you've written a very good point in that, it does take a famous tragedy for things to improve (or at least be noticed) yet the question does still remain as to whether anything is done de facto. I mean, I didn't even know what the f-word meant before Laramie or Glee (I mean here, the shortened version means a cigarette, so there's no power behind the word at all) but I learnt to appreciate just how much hatred lies behind such a tiny word and it scared me a little as to just how easily those being interviewed in The Laramie Project said it. Like it was the most casual thing in the world, despite a boy being murdered.

It seems we still have a long way to go. I'll be honest and say I've never seen homophobia as such here. Not directly aimed at someone at least. I have many LGB friends and they've never had any trouble. With the exception of one (who hasn't come out to her mum yet for fear of the ramifications), their parents are all okay with it too.

I just don't understand this insane attitude that falling in love is wrong. The way I see it is you fall in love with a person, not their sexual organs.

Sorry, philosophical rant over.

(I loved Artie in this. Such a soft spot for him being all C to Kurt's H :D)

Was a bit afraid that this was incomplete, but read it anyway. You should add 'Complete' to the summary. Glad I did, though I was sad for Puck. Presume that Kurt ended up at Dalton as in the show. Well structured story and nice to see Matt with Kurt.

This was a really good story, which I thought I reviewed, but obviously I didn't. (Did I?) I... Don't know what to say...um...

I just found this story. And ohmygod. It's amazing.

You captured the emotions perfectly, an holy shit it's intense! I may have cried. A few times.

Amazing. Beautiful. Truthful.

Gosh, I cried like a baby reading this! Kurt is my all time FAVORITE character from Glee, and reading about how he gets bullied makes me feel that life isn't as bad as what Kurt went through. (Yeah, I know he isn't real, and neither is this story. I'm not an idiot.) But thinking if something like that happened to someone I knew... I couldn't live with myself. I'm definitely not going to let bullying slide anymore. Ever again.

My eyes are still wet with tears. Just Saying. 3

But you're a really good writer :) And I loved how you incorporated Brittany missing during the summer into the story, because B is my second favorite :D
KevSam chapter 4 . 1/10/2011
I just found this story and spent the last hour or so reading it. I'd love more, if even just to have find out if Puck ever wakes up and what happens to the NFL dude. Unfortunately, I would not be surprised if something like this was to happen in real life with a celebrity and for the media to be hounds like they are. Wonderful and touching story, thanks for writing it.
Orchestra-Eight chapter 4 . 12/30/2010
AHHH! I love the Matt/Kurt love in this! I def like the way you put their...relationship? friendship? whatever they are...with Matt and Kurt secretly being friends all along! I miss Matt, I always thought he'd be secretly gay and end up with Kurt...or possibly be straight and end up with Mercedes or Quinn. So much for that fantasy. Anyways! GREAT STORY!

That was a really REALLY good fic, and I loved it. Keep writing because you're awesome at it (way better than me.) ;D
