Who are Armed Queers Salt Lake City? Utah-Based Trans Militia Group Under Scrutiny After Deleting Social Media Account on Day of Charlie Kirk Killing
Authorities probing the September 10 assassination of activist Charlie Kirk are reviewing online activity and several left-leaning groups in Utah after at least one organization removed its social-media presence in the immediate aftermath of the killing, sources say.
Among the organizations under review is Armed Queers Salt Lake City (Armed Queers SLC), a Utah-based group that has described itself publicly as training and organizing LGBTQ+ people to defend their communities.
According to archived materials and reporting, the group promoted events in 2023 that featured imagery and rhetoric aligned with radical protest and self-defense themes; a flyer for a September 2023 lecture at the University of Utah included graphic elements such as a rainbow flag, a hammer-and-sickle motif and imagery of ammunition.
In a past interview, a group representative said the organization’s activism was grounded in opposition to racism, transphobia and capitalism and accepted personal risk in service of that mission.
Sources with knowledge of the investigation told investigators that Armed Queers SLC took down at least one social media account on the day of Kirk’s death.
Law-enforcement officials are reviewing whether any individuals or networks connected to the group — or to other online communities, including gaming platforms and social pages — had prior knowledge of or provided material support for the alleged shooter, Tyler Robinson.
