The organization, which promotes the use of weapons, is composed of far-left LGBT individuals
The group defines itself as an openly communist organization. During a meeting held in July, one of its leaders stated: "We are a Marxist-Leninist organization led by queer and trans people."
The murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk caused shock in the United States and reignited the debate about the increase in political violence and armed attacks perpetrated by transgender individuals or those linked to progressive movements.
A Palestinian and transgender immigrant, Ermiya Fanaeian, leads a far-left terrorist movement and LGBT in the United States, Utah, the state where right-wing activist Charlie Kirk was murdered.
Fanaeian leads the organization called "Armed Queers Salt Lake City" (AQSLC), a group that combines armed self-defense with LGBT activism and communist militancy, with the goal of "promoting a broader struggle against capitalism and state violence," according to a publication by the organization.
A concerning piece of news is that this movement had as its Facebook cover the phrase "Ben Shapiro should be the next one killed," which reflects the hatred and left-wing extremism of its members. For this reason, AQSLC ended up deleting its account after the controversy that arose.
Armed Queers Salt Lake City stated that it abides by "six principles," according to a document related to the application for joining the collective. The first of these sets forth the "armed and combative defense of queer and trans communities."
In addition, the group aims to achieve the "end of capitalist oppression and exploitation," the "construction of a socialist society," "trans liberation," and the "elimination of prisons and police forces," as stated in its guidelines.
Kirk was murdered last Wednesday after a verbal exchange with Hunter Kozak, a left-wing activist known on social media. According to witnesses, the discussion revolved around shootings committed by trans people.
Shortly afterward, Kirk was shot. Kozak, who was present, was not identified as the shooter, but posted a video the next day expressing sadness over what happened and sending condolences to Kirk's family.
The person responsible for the crime is Tyler Robinson, a far-left murderer who lived with a transgender partner in the "transition process" from male to female. During the investigations, authorities revealed that the ammunition used by the suspect had pro-LGBT slogans written on it.
Robinson adopted increasingly leftist ideologies after entering university, and became close to terrorist groups such as Antifa, possibly influenced by his life in St. George, where he lived openly as a gay man with a transgender partner.
