If it's true - a gay in denial? Still no excuse to kill innocent people.

Sounds suspicious...

Truly a psycho.

What on earth.
So he was a self-hating, closeted, gay, ISIS-leaning jihadist?

Maybe he was "studying" the scene before committing this horrible tragedy?
Or... he was gay, but he hated it because of his religion and couldn't deal with it, so he went nuts

Oh my God... Oh my God...

self-hating individuals...sad


Or investigating/planning ahead for when he strikes..idk

Self-hate or research for the crime?

Probably gay and lonely. I thought he was gay

The self-hate

Of course he had to be gay. I'm sure some new stories will cast blame on the gays for that too, even though LGBT are the victim here.

EXACTLY what he was doing.

I swear on everything I hate homophobes.

I'm really starting to have as much hate for them (and some straights) as they do for us.

Oh God.

NO HE WASNT, he was a random psycho who unleashed his hatred on a targeted and innocent group of people. Stop posting lies that make him seem like a gay man in denial, this event is an attack on LGBT people by a deranged straight person. Heteros are a threat to this society

Daily beast reporting similar claim

Hmmmmm. I am very interested to see where this goes.
