After his death, Kristin took to the comments section of this particular post to pay tribute to him. @charliekirk1776 / Via instagram.com "I'm. So. Upset.," she wrote. "Didn't always agree but appreciated some perspectives. What a heartbreak. His young family. I know where he is now. Heaven. But still." The Salt Lake Tribune / Getty Images As with anything regarding Charlie's murder, Kristin's comments kicked up quite a bit of dust online. During a recent interview for NY1, the actor was asked the following question regarding her words: "For members and allies in the LGBTQ+ community, Charlie was a controversial figure. He opposed same-sex marriage, trans rights. What were you hoping to convey with that post?"

"I came to understand that my comment hurt some folks. And that hurt me so bad." Rob Kim / Getty Images for Christian Cowan "I would never. It's no secret that I'm a Christian, that I'm a person with faith. It's also no secret that I'm an advocate for the LGBTQ+ community. And, for some, that doesn't go together." Manoli Figetakis / Getty Images Kristin also went on to add that, for her, she "always will" be both a practicing Christian and an LGBTQ+ ally. So, uh, yeah. There's that!
