Charlie Kirk once welcomed a young gay man into the conservative movement, emphasizing that the most important part of his identity isn’t defined by 'what he does in the bedroom.'
Kirk was fatally shot in front of a crowd of thousands at Utah Valley University as part of his 'The American Comeback Tour' on Wednesday afternoon.
The 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder became a prominent figure in American politics through his strong appeal to young conservatives, frequently debating college students across the country on major political issues.
During one of these discussions, a young gay man - seeking to understand his place within conservative politics - asked Kirk what message he had for members of the LGBTQ+ community who need to realize they have a choice.
The man in the video, who goes by Chris, reshared the clip on X Thursday morning following Kirk’s assassination.
