Additionally, Kirk suggested that the Bible verse Leviticus 20:13 serves as 'God's perfect law when it comes to sexual matters' [1]. Some sources also mention his criticism of gay and transgender rights, as well as his encouragement of students and parents to report professors suspected of embracing 'gender ideology' [3].
