AGLAAD spokesman smeared conservative Christian Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated on Wednesday while speaking at Utah Valley University, as someone who “spread infinite amounts of disinformation about LGBTQ people.”
The spokesman did not provide any examples, but told The Advocate, the self-proclaimed “queer paper of record,” that, “Lies and vitriol about transgender people were a frequent part of his rhetoric and events.”
It should be easy to find examples because Kirk produced so many videos, but perhaps The Advocate failed to show any of Kirk’s “vitriol” because they don’t exist. When Kirk engaged with the LGBT community, it was always with respect. He saw the humanity in people who desperately want to be seen, heard, and understood.
The speakers who came to challenge Kirk’s ideas wanted to sway his opinion, but with the rock-solid foundation of the Bible, he would not move from his Christian principles. He was kind, asked thought-provoking questions, and it was apparent that he cared about the long-term outcome for the people he spoke with.
GLAAD hates that. After all, as a $36 million nonprofit, GLAAD needs to perpetuate a need for advocacy by keeping every gender-confused victim supporting its movement.
“GLAAD stressed the extent to which Kirk and Turning Point USA promoted anti-LGBTQ+ narratives,” The Advocate reported. “The group highlighted Turning Point’s college campus campaigns featuring speakers such as Riley Gaines, Chloe Cole, and Pastor Junsun Yoo, who regularly spoke against transgender people.”
Chloe Cole is a woman who detransitioned after a regrettable attempt to become a man when she was young.
“Naming the 3 of us in this statement is putting a target on our backs and it normalizes the violence that took place in Utah,” Cole posted on X after she was namechecked in GLAAD’s statement. “They do not care if we die because they think we are nazis. This is the reality of a large amount of the democrat party in America.”
