Fact check: Charlie Kirk said homosexuals should be shot

Checked on September 13, 2025

1. Summary of the results

The analyses provided do not support the claim that Charlie Kirk said homosexuals should be shot [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]. In fact, none of the sources mention Charlie Kirk advocating for violence against homosexuals. Some sources do discuss his anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric and the harm it caused [2], as well as his opposition to same-sex marriage and gender care for transgender people [6]. However, these sources do not provide evidence to support the claim that he said homosexuals should be shot.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

A key missing context in the original statement is the lack of specific evidence to support the claim that Charlie Kirk said homosexuals should be shot [1] [2] [3]. Alternative viewpoints are also missing, such as the context of Charlie Kirk's statements and the impact of his rhetoric on the LGBTQ+ community [2]. Additionally, some sources provide information about Charlie Kirk's life, death, and political views [5], but do not mention the specific claim in question. It is also important to consider the polarizing nature of Charlie Kirk's views and the debate surrounding his legacy [6].

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement may be an example of misinformation or bias, as it presents a claim that is not supported by the analyses provided [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]. This type of statement can be harmful and inflammatory, and may be used to demonize or marginalize certain individuals or groups. It is possible that the original statement benefits those who seek to polarize or divide people, rather than promoting understanding or empathy. The LGBTQ+ community and human rights organizations may be particularly affected by this type of misinformation, as it can contribute to a culture of hate and intolerance [2].
