No, they are facts that you have no idea how to respond to since your thread was so off point to begin with. Better to
and call it Left than to provide any intelligent response.
That's the LGBTQ+ lumping I was talking about.
I am sorry that you are so poorly educated, but authoritarianism afflicts both the left and right.
Well, here's more for you, and everyone else in this thread that thinks Charlie Kirk was such an empathetic person.

So let's look at the quotes that make up your smoking gun:Well, here's more for you, and everyone else in this thread that thinks Charlie Kirk was such an empathetic person.
Kirk adopted a traditional Christian conservative stance in his approach to many contemporary issues, telling an audience at a Trump election rally in Georgia last fall that Democrats “stand for everything God hates” and adding: “This is a Christian state. I’d like to see it stay that way.”
He also lashed out at the gay community, denouncing what he called the “LGBTQ agenda,” expressing opposition to same-sex marriage and suggesting that the Bible verse Leviticus 20:13, which endorses the execution of homosexuals, serves as “God’s perfect law when it comes to sexual matters.”
“I don’t agree with your lifestyle,” Kirk told a gay Wisconsin college student last September. “I don’t think you should introduce yourself just based on your sexuality because that’s not who you are.”
He also argued against gender-affirming care for transgender people and insisted there are only two genders, sporting a T-shirt at one Arizona rally last year that read: “xy = man.”
More recently, he discussed the burning of Pride flags, writing on X (Twitter): “We should work to overturn every conviction for those arrested, fined, or otherwise harassed for the ‘hate crime’ of doing donuts over Pride flags painted on public streets.
“It should be legal to burn a rainbow or [Black Lives Matter] flag in public.”
What were Charlie Kirk’s views on guns, LGBT+ rights and the future of the country?
Turning Point founder, an anti-abortion Christian and Second Amendment advocate, Kirk was known for his loyalty to Donald Trump and his ‘America First’ agenda
I will never win over anyone in this forum who is homophobic and plays dumb so I'll leave it as it is.
I'm "homophobic" because I don't introduce myself by talking about whom and how I ****?
You will clearly never quit until you have the last word, so goodbye. That's not a positive trait BTW.
The problem here is trying to normalize the idea that being trans is easy and anyone can do it in the schools.And here are Kirk's comments/actions against LGBTQ rights, when not in front of a trans person. Are you really quoting Meghan Kelly, who spends her time criticizing Madonna's age and the Jeff Bezos wedding? She is a hack. You might as well be watching The Real Housewives. Yes, he was real good at faking empathy when he was in front of an audience. Don't try to paint him as some kind of healer of humanity. You really do need to do some research before you start a completely clueless OP.
Kirk, aged 31, built his reputation as a staunch supporter of right-wing ideologies, often courting controversy with inflammatory remarks. His views on LGBTQ issues were among the most divisive. He frequently described progressive stances on gender and sexuality as “sexual anarchy” and condemned LGBTQ-inclusive education, arguing that it eroded cultural identity.
In multiple broadcasts and public appearances, Kirk used anti-transgender slurs and celebrated being able to do so on platforms like Rumble. He labelled transgender individuals as “groomers” and advocated for banning gender-affirming care, even suggesting that providers should face “Nuremberg-style trials”.
His rhetoric aligned with broader efforts in right-wing media to roll back LGBTQ+ protections, including celebrating Supreme Court rulings that allowed businesses to discriminate against LGBTQ+ customers on religious grounds.
Kirk’s comments extended to dangerous misinformation. Just moments before his fatal shooting, he responded to a question about trans mass shooters by saying “Too many,” despite data showing the vast majority of such incidents are committed by cisgender men.
His influence was not limited to media. Kirk played a key role in shaping conservative youth discourse through Turning Point USA, a platform that has been criticised for hosting events and promoting narratives hostile to LGBTQ+ communities. Despite this, he was invited as the first guest on California Governor Gavin Newsom’s podcast earlier this year, a move that drew backlash given Kirk’s history of incendiary remarks.
Charlie Kirk: A legacy of anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric
Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA and a prominent figure in the American conservative movement, was fatally shot during a live event at Utah Valley University on 10 September. His death has reignited scrutiny over his controversial political stances, particularly his outspoken...www.scenemag.co.uk
I have not seen that alleged side of him. Every video I saw, he was always insightful and respectful.
That's because it came from some talking head that runs with a narrative that is a lie.
Maybe try reading the posts in the thread before responding. Specifically Post #19.
I'm debating the topic. You're posting to get the last word.
But you bolded the part about indoctrination children: "and condemned LGBTQ-inclusive education." It became part of your rant. I will bet that what was quoted is inaccurate in many ways. the placed a narrative on something without quoting what he said. This is a common practice when you want to villanize someone by lying about them.
That issue needs to be picked apart carefully. The decision about the birthday cake was widely lambasted by liberal sources, but a cake baker is not just a pair of hands. If you want to get a cake for Hitler's 125th birthday or celebrating the first anniversary of somebody being shot, they're not going to do it. They don't want it in their shop representing them. The baker is required to do business with everyone, rather than refusing to do business with somebody because they heard he's gay; but that doesn't mean they have to write anything they're told to write. Freedom of expression is important and we should all have been more stalwart in upholding it, because we see now how quickly a little lack of complaint turns into a big AI searching through everything a person ever wrote looking for an excuse to fire them.
Freedom of speech is important. It is legal to burn an American flag in public. I wouldn't suggest trying it, but per the constitution it should even be legal to burn an Israeli flag in public.
What got him killed was some kid committing murder. That's what got him killed.
First of all, he was killed by a nutcase. A mentality I'll person.
And you're either just making stuff up for your tribe or you've never investigated because he has moment after moment after Moment Like That.
I know exactly how to respond how about you quote his worst "bigotry" and let's take a look at itNo, they are facts that you have no idea how to respond to since your thread was so off point to begin with. Better to
Yep that's exactly the problem you can see it on these boards parading the same little group of out of context partial quotes that they had to painstakingly dig up through the mass volumes of him being polite and respectful.
