Fact check: What did charlie kirk say about stoning gay people

Checked on September 15, 2025

1. Summary of the results

The analyses provided do not mention Charlie Kirk saying anything about stoning gay people [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. However, they do highlight his polarizing stance on gay and transgender rights, including opposition to same-sex marriage and gender care for transgender people [1]. His views on gay and transgender rights have been described as controversial and deeply offensive to minority groups, including LGBT people [2]. The sources also mention his opposition to gay marriage and transgender rights [1] [4] [5], as well as his conservative Christian values [4]. Additionally, the analyses condemn his anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric and the harm it caused, and denounce both political violence and the rhetoric that fuels harassment and fear for queer and transgender people [3].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

A key point missing from the original statement is the lack of evidence that Charlie Kirk has ever made statements about stoning gay people [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. The analyses provide alternative viewpoints on Charlie Kirk's stance on gay and transgender rights, with some sources highlighting his opposition to same-sex marriage and gender care for transgender people [1], while others focus on his conservative Christian values and traditional values [4] [5]. It is also important to consider the context in which Charlie Kirk's statements are made, as his views have been criticized by some as harmful to minority groups [2], while others may see him as a champion of traditional values [4].

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement may contain potential misinformation as it claims Charlie Kirk said something about stoning gay people, which is not supported by the analyses [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. This could be an example of bias against Charlie Kirk, as it presents a negative and unfounded claim about his views [1]. The sources that criticize Charlie Kirk's views on gay and transgender rights may also be seen as biased against him, as they present a one-sided perspective on his stance [2] [3]. On the other hand, the sources that focus on his conservative Christian values and traditional values may be seen as biased in his favor, as they present a more positive perspective on his views [4] [5].
