I wouldn't agree with that characterization. The fact is, Charlie Kirk was against homosexuality and gay marriage but was also for love, forgiveness, and some level of acceptance (much like the Catholic Church now beleives). I think that was made clear in the video where he tells the gay hater that he really isn't the conservative he thinks he is. Kirk believed that what happens behind closed doors isn't the business of others and that we shouldn't hate gays and ex-communicate them from society just because they are gay.
Kirk is documented as telling homosexual Republican he disapproves of their same sex behaviors but that “politics is about addition and multiplication” and the homosexual Republican adhered to “conservative” views regarding immigration, taxes, government and economy.
Might Kirk have consistently, associated with lesbians and homosexuals congenially, perhaps as friends such that he hung out with them in some routine manner? Yes, but I’ve never denied this to have occurred or couldn’t have transpired.
What I did say and write is the context of Kirk welcoming gay conservatives into the Republican Party doesn’t convey a broader and more general association, friendship, with them outside the context of politics.
However, I actually appreciate the fact that you're trying to look at all this without partisan blinders on, instead of just forming opinions based on misleading propaganda.
Thank you for the kind words. I’m not partisan and I refuse to view the word through a partisan lens, choosing instead to examine the evidence, reasoning, facts, and draw my own conclusions. Which routinely results in disagreements here and elsewhere with Republicans, Democrats, MAGA, etc, and other occasions in agreement with them.
I’ve immersed myself with Kirk’s views to arrive at an informed perspective of Kirk based upon what I’ve heard him say and observed how he’s acted. I find Kirk to be consistent with every human being that’s existed, he wasn’t perfect, he made some inflammatory and odious remarks, while many times he was respectful, thoughtful, compassionate, expressed wisdom and sound logic.
An issue I have with some of the Left, pertaining to Kirk, is their remarks infer a requirement of perfection of people, more specifically a perfection that aligns with their beliefs and notions of what shouldn’t be said. It’s the same incoherent logic that “woke”’was based upon, promoting Democrats and some leftists, such as Obama, Maher, to assert the logic was so tenuous that it is impossibly rational.
Kirk wasn’t the boogey man, evil, or wicked as some have expressed.
