He was born and raised in a Christian conservative family. In a religious conservative state.

The origin story of many gay people or future political leftists.

Gay hate can only really exist in an environment without gay people, same thing for people who hate trans people.

Assertion. It’s like saying you can’t hate men unless you grow up in a society without them. People hate all kinds of people for all kinds of reason. This argument doesn’t work.

Which hate comment are you talking about?

He said Kirk was spreading hate.

I believe there’s a lot of conservatives out there who would be willing to kill someone on their same side for not being extreme enough.

What you believe has nothing to do with what is true. There is no evidence that he thought Kirk wasnt extreme enough. In fact his hate comment indicates it could be the opposite. (e.g. that he saw Kirk as a Nazi that needed to be killed)
