Influential anti-LGBTQ+ activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday. While condemning violence is something most can get behind, sanitization of his hate has gone too far.
Yes it’s good that his influence in this world is gone but it sucks that it had to be through his death. Also the assassination and the praise for it only fules the fire for the opposite party and goes quite hard against democracy even if it’s good that he’s gone…
Yet I can 100% understand the need to reach for a gun when your own freedom (and by proxy your entire life) is on the line.
I’m still really conflicted about this situation…
