The FBI is investigating whether or not the Orlando shooter’s conflicting feelings about his sexuality contributed to the attack.

The move comes as multiple people have come forward with accounts about the alleged shooter, Omar Mateen, that suggest his sexuality may have played a role in the shooting, which left nearly 50 people at a gay night club dead.

One former policy academy colleague of Mateen’s told the Palm Beach Post that Mateen had asked him out and they had frequented gay clubs together. The Orlando Sentinel published a report that regulars at Pulse, the Orlando night club targeted early Sunday, had seen Mateen at the club a number of times before the shooting. He also is believed to have had a profile on a gay dating app, according to the Los Angeles Times.

    Well, the comments section of Alan.com was ahead of the FBI concerning this matter, then. :)

    Sounds like this guy had a revolving door on his closet.

      does this mean trump will call for a lock down on all revolving doors? – and leave his current OPM Klan stranded on whichever side they are on for the moment?

      There are loud voices out there telling him that what he feels means he is evil, perverse, an abomination… and not everybody realizes what utter bullsugar that “otherization” is.

    I wish the ba$tard was still alive while his sexual preference was being evaluated in the public forum, he would of died from the stress of it and that would caused a lot more pain than the bullet he received.

      >> I wish the ba$tard was still alive while his sexual preference was being evaluate

      There is a kind of perverse justice in that part of this, isn’t there?

      • Suzanne McFly June 15th, 2016 at 09:24

        And that type of justice couldn’t be used on a better person IMO.

    Self-loathing, religious guilt, and anger over prior rejection may have been the primary motivators for his actions, but that will not play well in Trump’s efforts to cast blame on all Muslims, so don’t expect him to address this new information in his daily barrage of Islamophobic speeches.

      “may have” is the key phrase in your post.

      Everybody is just projecting themselves on this guy, at this point. We really don’t know that many fact about him.

    wouldn’t doubt it. most people that get too deep in their religious BS seem to turn out to be unable to cope with everyday life.

    • Mensa Member June 14th, 2016 at 23:38

      Healthy religion gives richness and meaning to everyday life.

    I used to think “you must be secretly gay” was just a way to tease homophobes.

    But this has happened again and again.

    The loudest “family values” conservatives always seem to have secret gays lives.

    And it made sense when I thought about it.

    People don’t get all hot and lathered about things that don’t affect them personally.
