Fact check: How has Charlie Kirk used bible passages to justify transphobia, anti-lgbtq and racist world views?

Checked on September 14, 2025

1. Summary of the results

The analyses provided suggest that Charlie Kirk has been associated with anti-LGBTQ+ and transphobic views, often citing his Christian faith as a justification [1] [2]. However, there is limited direct evidence of him using specific bible passages to justify these views [2] [3] [4]. Some sources imply a connection between Kirk's Christian nationalist ideologies and his rhetoric, which may be linked to biblical interpretations [5] [6]. Key points to note include:

  • Charlie Kirk's opposition to same-sex marriage and gender care for transgender people, often citing his Christian faith [2]
  • The lack of direct evidence in some sources of Kirk using bible passages to justify his anti-LGBTQ+ views [2] [3] [4]
  • The implication of a connection between Kirk's Christian nationalist ideologies and his rhetoric, which may be linked to biblical interpretations [5] [6]

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

Some sources do not provide direct evidence of Charlie Kirk using bible passages to justify his views [2] [3] [4], while others focus on the circumstances of his death and reactions to it, without mentioning bible passages [7]. Alternative viewpoints include:

  • The possibility that Kirk's Christian faith was used to justify his anti-LGBTQ+ views, without directly citing bible passages [2]
  • The implication that Kirk's rhetoric was infused with racial innuendo and hateful language, which may be connected to his Christian nationalist beliefs [6]
  • The lack of information on Kirk's use of bible passages to justify his views in some sources, which may indicate a need for further investigation [7] [3] [4]

Some sources that could provide additional context include:

  • Direct quotes from Charlie Kirk's speeches or writings, where he may have cited bible passages to justify his views [1]
  • Analyses of Kirk's Christian nationalist ideologies and how they may be linked to biblical interpretations [5] [6]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement implies that Charlie Kirk used bible passages to justify transphobia, anti-LGBTQ, and racist world views, which may not be entirely accurate based on the analyses provided [1] [2] [3] [4]. Some sources suggest that Kirk's Christian faith was used to justify his anti-LGBTQ+ views, but do not provide direct evidence of him using specific bible passages [2]. The statement may be misleading or inaccurate, as it implies a direct connection between Kirk's use of bible passages and his transphobic, anti-LGBTQ, and racist views, which is not entirely supported by the analyses [1] [2] [3] [4]. The potential beneficiaries of this framing include:

  • Those who seek to criticize Charlie Kirk's views and actions, by emphasizing his use of bible passages to justify his anti-LGBTQ+ views [1]
  • Those who seek to promote a narrative of Christian nationalism being linked to transphobic, anti-LGBTQ, and racist views, by citing Kirk's ideologies and rhetoric [5] [6]
