Charlie Kirk say gays should be shot?

1. Summary of the results

The claim that Charlie Kirk said gays should be shot is not supported by any of the provided analyses ^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]}. According to the analyses, Charlie Kirk has expressed polarizing views, including opposition to same-sex marriage and gender care for transgender people ^[1], and has been criticized for his anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric ^[2]. However, none of the sources mention Kirk advocating for violence against gays. Some sources do report on Kirk's reference to a Bible passage that condemns homosexual acts ^[4], but this is not equivalent to saying that he advocated for the shooting of gays.

• No direct quote or evidence of Charlie Kirk saying gays should be shot ^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]}
• Criticism of Kirk's anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric and views on same-sex marriage and gender care ^[2]
• Reports on the investigation into Kirk's shooting death and the suspect's arrest, without mentioning Kirk's statements on gay issues ^{[3] [7]}

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original statement lacks context about Charlie Kirk's actual views and statements on LGBTQ+ issues ^{[1] [4]}. Alternative viewpoints, such as the nuanced discussion of Kirk's reference to a Bible passage ^[4], are also missing. Additionally, the statement does not account for the retraction of a claim by author Stephen King, who initially stated that Kirk advocated for stoning gays to death, but later apologized for the mistake ^[4]. The analyses also highlight the importance of gun regulation and the need for a safer, more equal future ^[2], which is not considered in the original statement.
