Armed Queers SLC is under investigation for possible foreknowledge of Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
Just The News: Armed Queers group trains radical Marxists to shoot just miles from where Charlie Kirk was murdered
Amid the snow-capped mountains and Mormon churches of Utah, not far from where FBI agents continue to scour for more evidence in Charlie Kirk’s assassination, a self-described armed revolutionary group openly aligned with Cuba has risen up on the streets of one of America’s most conservative states.
Armed Queers SLC says its mission is to train gay, queer and transgender people to arm themselves and to fight against capitalism. Although their purported Facebook page does not directly appear to encourage the use of firearms in their claimed mission, many of the images used depict firearms. As recently as this spring, its members traveled to Cuba for a meeting to celebrate the May Day holiday and participate in a march and events alongside revolutionaries from around the world.
The group posted photos on its public Instagram account—which was deleted on Friday—of its young students attending, and its leaders openly discussed how the communist regime agenda and this American group’s agenda were aligned in a YouTube video after the visit to Havana. The video has been scrubbed and is not available in any web archive, but Just the News took a careful transcription of the discussion prior to its deletion.
Two leaders of Armed Queers — Ermyia Fanaeian and a man who called himself “Connor” — discussed their trip to Cuba in a since-deleted May video titled, “Cuba Report Back: Our Time as 2025 May Day Brigadistas.” A search by Just the News could not positively identify him.
(Or they attempted to. Data Republican has uncovered the video.)
The Utah-based Armed Queers of Salt Lake City (SLC) was founded in 2020 and describes itself as “a revolutionary LGBTQ organization dedicated to the defense, and success, of oppressed people’s movements.”
Armed Queers SLC merges armed community defense and LGBTQ activism with anti-imperialism with the goal of “advancing a broader struggle against capitalism and state violence,” according to a review of its public social media posts and materials.
The group did not respond to a request for comment sent to its email account. As of Saturday, their Facebook page does not indicate that Tyler Robinson is or was a follower of the group. Just The News was unable to determine if he had been a member or follower prior to any such evidence possibly being deleted.[…]
The group’s now-deleted Instagram account shows Armed Queers holding monthly training sessions to develop “self-defense knowledge.” According to photographs archived by Just the News before the social media account was taken down, members were trained in the use of firearms.
And more: Armed Queers SLC co-hosted educational workshops with Elm Fork branch of the John Brown Gun Club, the trans antifa perpetuators behind the July 4 Alvarado ICE facility shooting. Ermiya Fanaeian appears to have promoted these on her private Instagram.
