ALGAYDO 35,048 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Intense internalized homophobia + radicalized Islamism + flaky gun laws = tragedies like this. I feel like we need to address this issue from all sides. Well, if this story is even true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Bromance 5,809 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 What an interesting turn of events. I am not sure if I believe all of this, but I do think the coward shooter was gay himself and couldn't come to terms with his reality. It's unfortunate that 49 innocent people had to die because of that coward's insecurities and the lax gun laws in the U.S. I don't care what you think about unless it is about me.

He did, right before he started shooting he called 911 saying he pledged allegiance to ISIS. but he also has a history. Being a regular at Pulse, having a profile on a gay dating app (I still haven't found out which one). I wouldn't be surprised if he was gay and turned to the Islamic State's extremism (probably believing they'd want to spread the hateful culture they have over there) out of desperation because of an internalized hate for himself and other gay man. That's just speculation though but I don't think it's too far fetched tbh. Being raised by a homophobic dad, discovering that you're actually gay, and then turning anywhere except for acceptance for the answers. Part of me kinda feels bad for him if that's the case. It couldn't have been easy to live with that kind of turmoil and hate. Spoiler Of course all sympathy goes out the window 'cause he took 49 other people's lives Whimsical bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard he had something called "Grinder". It's a gay application from the developers of Tinder. But someone I was talking to asked "maybe he wasn't gay. What if he was using the app to target gays?"

That's possible I guess a bit more assurance that the place would be busy when he attacked? Whimsical bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
