Charlie Kirk didn't call for gay people to be stoned to death.
> In 2024, Kirk criticized children's YouTuber Ms. Rachel for arguing that the bible verse "love thy neighbor" in the Leviticus 18 scripture should apply to gay people. On the podcast, Kirk said: "by the way, Ms. Rachel, you might want to crack open that Bible of yours. In a lesser reference, part of the same part of scripture, is in Leviticus 18, is that ‘thou shall lay with another man shall be stoned to death.' Just saying."

He's also quoted as saying:
> “I believe marriage is one man, one woman. Also, gay people should be welcome in the conservative movement,” Kirk posted. “As Christians, we are called to love everyone. I will always stand against people who wish to establish their own personal values as a reason to kick others out of our movement.”

If you watch the whole video in that tweet, he passionately argues against the homophobic audience member, saying you have to be respectful to people who "make other life choices" (such as not following Christianity, or being openly homosexual) and that you should still be friendly and cooperative with them.
All in all he seems to have been a fairly standard 21st century Republican who tried to follow a positive and somewhat humanist interpretation of Christianity while still being firm about conservative beliefs. Not someone I'd easily agree with on most things, but also not some kind of extremist who "had it coming."
