What business is it of the State Dept to finance militant Homo Brigades?
State Department Severs Ties With Armed Queers-Affiliated NGO; Marxist Group Nukes Socials
A State Department source confirmed to Blaze News that any ties to Utah Global Diplomacy, “which existed indirectly via an external implementer, are being completely severed and dismantled.” As we reported earlier, Armed Queers SLC founder Ermiya Fanaeian had been recognized by the NGO.
The nonprofit (NGO) is a partner with the US State Department to “cultivate emerging leaders and diplomacy initiatives.”
In other words, she was selected to “help shape U.S. Foreign relations.”
Their words, not mine.
Recall the highlights from X user DataRepublican, also known as Jennica Pounds, who leads DOGE-adjacent efforts, posted a deep dive on Armed Queers SLC:
-
Armed Queers SLC is under investigation for possible foreknowledge of Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
-
Their leader, Ermiya Fanaeian, was recognized by a State Department–affiliated NGO, Utah Global Diplomacy, as a recipient of the “7 for 17” Award for advancing the UN’s 17 Goals
-
Utah Global Diplomacy has since scrubbed Fanaeian’s presence from their website. Unknown when this purge happened. The receipts remain.
Here are more details from Blaze News on the State Department’s breakup with Utah Global Diplomacy:

This could prove greatly consequential for the NGO, as the bulk of its funding takes the form of government grants.
“We are taking aggressive action to ensure that any implementor that has any relationship whatsoever with this radical organization is completely cut off from any State Department engagement,” said the source.
Secretary Marco Rubio revealed this week that the State Department has also been revoking visas of individuals who have celebrated the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Late Wednesday, NYPost reports Armed Queers SLC founder is under investigation…
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said Monday that Charlie Kirk’s accused assassin, Tyler Robinson, described by some as a “radical left, ANTIFA-adjacent creep” with a radicalized transgender partner, may have been “aided and abetted” by an “extended network.”
The New York Post confirms that federal agents are investigating whether pro-trans online groups, “furries” with sexualized animal obsessions, and others tied to Robinson had advance knowledge of the political assassination plot. These groups include communities on the online gaming platform Steam, as well as Armed Queers Salt Lake City.
Instant messaging and VoIP social platform Discord stated that Robinson did not plan violence on the platform. However, a Discord spokesperson said the assassin wrote in a channel – just hours before arrest – that he was responsible for Kirk’s killing.
“Hey guys, I have bad news for you all,” read a message from an account that allegedly belonged to Robinson, according to CBS News, citing a law enforcement source. “It was me at UVU yesterday. im sorry for all of this.”
Robinson was formally charged moments ago with murder in Utah. He will be appearing in court at the top of the hour.
Recall that on Sunday, we cited an Axios report stating that federal law enforcement was broadening its investigation to include radical leftist groups. We noted, “There is still suspicion surrounding multiple groups, including Armed Queers Salt Lake City and the Socialist Rifle Association” (report here).
John Solomon’s team at Just The News also had its crosshairs on Armed Queers Salt Lake City on Sunday, reporting:
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.
. . .
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.
Which leaves us with X user DataRepublican, also known as Jennica Pounds, who leads DOGE-adjacent efforts full-time, went down the Armed Queers rabbit hole last night.
What Pounds found expanded on Solomon’s report, and we are sure that the FBI and Rubio’s State Department are also investigating this radical leftist group, which has ties to Cuba and other organizations working to subvert the nation, with the ultimate goal of sparking a Marxist revolution to collapse capitalism and the nation.
Highlights from Pounds’ report on Armed Queers:
-
Armed Queers SLC is under investigation for possible foreknowledge of Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
-
Their leader, Ermiya Fanaeian, was recognized by a State Dept–affiliated NGO, Utah Global Diplomacy, as a recipient of the “7 for 17” Award for advancing the UN’s 17 Goals
-
Utah Global Diplomacy has since scrubbed Fanaeian’s presence from their website. Unknown when this purge happened. The receipts remain.
