Checked on September 18, 2025

1. Summary of the results

The analyses provided do not offer a direct response from Charlie Kirk to accusations of anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-immigrant rhetoric [1] [2] [3]. However, they do highlight his polarizing stance on gay and transgender rights, as he opposed same-sex marriage and argued against gender care for transgender people, often citing his Christian faith [4]. The sources also suggest that Kirk did not respond to accusations of anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric by changing his views, but rather continued to express his opinions [4]. Furthermore, it is mentioned that Kirk spent his career spreading anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric that put many in the community at risk, implying that he did not acknowledge or address the harm caused by his words [5]. Additionally, the sources mention Kirk's anti-immigrant and Islamophobic rhetoric, including his promotion of the 'Great Replacement' conspiracy theory [2].
