Erika Kirk’s Hand Gesture During Funeral Turns Heads, Here’s What It Means

But Erika’s supporters quickly pushed back, blasting the smear campaign. “PSA: Erika Kirk’s hand gesture at the end was sign language for ‘I love you.’ Not a satanic hand sign. Dear Lord… give me strength on this app,” one X user wrote in frustration. Another added, “Ignorance is dangerous. Learn before you accuse. That was a message of love, not evil.”

The difference is simple: the “devil horn” hand sign involves raising only the index and pinky fingers, while the thumb is tucked in. The ASL sign for “I love you,” which Erika clearly used, includes the thumb raised outward. For anyone familiar with the language, there’s no confusion.
