"When Utah Gov. Spencer Cox called for civility last week following the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, the GOP governor pleaded for self-reflection over violence.

It wasn’t the first time.

After the Pulse nightclub shooting in 2016, where 49 people were killed at the Orlando gay bar, Cox — then lieutenant governor — also looked inward. As he spoke to a largely LGBTQ crowd that gathered for a vigil in Salt Lake City, he went back in time and drew from his experiences at his small, rural high school.

Holding back tears, his voice quivering, Cox offered an apology: “There were some kids in my class that were different. Sometimes I wasn’t kind to them.

“I didn’t know it at the time, but I know now that they were gay. I will forever regret not treating them with the kindness, dignity and respect — the love — that they deserved,” Cox said."
