Perhaps, as a friend of Sean Kennedy's, my own neutrality may be in question. That said, my friend was senselessly murdered, and I will never forget having to pull over on the highway when I found out to cry. I live in Maryland, not South Carolina, and though we may like to think ourselves above this sort of thing here, it can - and does - happen everywhere. Perhaps a few lines in this article could be reworded in order to better and more neutrally illustrate Sean's death, but that said, I think this article deserves expansion if anything - as well as a picture of the deceased. I will inquire about putting one up to Sean's Last Wish and to Elke Kennedy. Spiral5800 (talk) 12:25, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What is the lasting significance of this event ? was it a catalyst for something else ? there is an unsourced claim that victims mother set-up an organisation after his death but that is not expanded on, therefore what is the encyclopaedic relevance of this ?

The charity is called Sean's Last Wish (http://www.seanslastwish.org/). It was a big deal when it happened and it's a good example of the "gay panic defense" being abused. - John 23:56, 24 January 2012 (EST) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.161.133.101 (talk)
