Charlie’s children will be raised with stories instead of memories, photographs instead of laughter, and silence where their father’s voice should have echoed.
Charlie Kirk’s life should serve as a symbolic reminder that compassionate awareness elevates family, love, and country.
I feel deeply saddened by Charlie Kirk’s death today. I disagreed with his views on so many levels, but what scares me is not his disagreement with my opinions or choices… what scares me is that there are people who feel emboldened to murder because of those disagreements.
As an openly gay woman and a registered independent, I would not ask that everyone agree with me. I would ask that everyone have civil conversations that foster better relationships and understanding amongst each other. I would ask that we coexist in peace.
I support everyone’s right to their political, personal, and religious beliefs. Even when those beliefs don’t align with mine.
