FBI Will Investigate Whether Orlando Shooter’s Sexuality Motivated Attack on Gay Nightclub

Not surprised about that. The more I read about this, the more I feel like this was a case of repressed homosexuality that turned into rage and hatred rather than a pointed terrorist attack having anything to do with ISIS. I mean…why did he spend so much time on gay hook up apps? And at that particular gay club? Seems he didn't quite have himself figured out, and on top of that his ex wife AND ex coworker said he had severe anger issues and mood swings.

I'm not saying he couldn't have been a self-hating bi or gay man but it seems to me the media is overlooking the fact that he might have been scouting for targets. According to what his dad said he was angered at two men kissing a long while back. If he was carrying that hate with him then he could have been searching for single targets to murder or doing recon on the place before going on his maniacal killing spree.
Of course I guess we'll never know but I find it odd that this angle seems completely overlooked. -

Of course I guess we'll never know but I find it odd that this angle seems completely overlooked.This is true, there's always that possibility…but I wonder why it had to be GAY targets in particular? Doesn't make sense in most organized acts of terrorism, from what I've seen.
I'm toeing a very fine line here, but basically, I'm saying that his act was aimed at hurting gay people and supporters/friends, but I don't think it was ISIS related--that's just an excuse. Whether he was gay or not, this was a hate crime, more than a terrorist attack. Why choose a gay nightclub, at night, at 2am when everyone is about to leave instead of attacking somewhere that would affect a larger demographic of people? Granted, he killed and injured many people anyway, but I feel like it misses the typical terrorist pattern by a huge margin. It doesn't make him gay, but it does suggest he had a serious personal problem with gay people; while the anti-gay sentiment is in line with most extremist religious terrorist organizations like ISIS, this isn't typically a priority for them. Of course, it makes sense they'd try to take credit for it.
From what I read though (several different articles from several sources) he used all sorts of foul language toward all groups, so maybe none of this means anything.

I definitely think we're thinking along the same lines here, Runewell.
While we will probably never know exactly why he did what he did, it is quite clear he had a deep hatred for gay people. If that's because he was a self-loather or a radical religious fanatic or had other serious issues or if he got dumped by his lover, it doesn't really matter in the end. A madman went berserk, a whole lot of innocent people died and that cannot be undone nor forgiven.
It only matters for those who try to score political points on whichever angle they play, I suppose. -
Let's face it, if straight people died nobody would care this much. This story has been going on and on for days now, so much that it was even present at E3 show and Apple's Keynote representation. This is just LGBT narcissism at its highest level and therefore, comes as no surprise to me how easy is to generate hate towards gay people.
On top of that, FBI investigating his motivation goes hand in hand with this high level of narcissism, like that will solve first world problems. I really do feel sad for innocent people that died because I'm certain that among them there was probably some normal soul just enjoying his life and living for a better day. Whereas some people dedicate their lives to promoting their sexual preference by jumping around the streets to show how vulnerable we are ::)

Well, that is certainly a rather… unique perspective.

totally agree. This is like this guy raped by a magreb guy ( he wrote a book about it that I read). the guy is so into 'racist is bad, we are all the same, everybody love each other, hippie crap … ) that he doesnt even recognize his ennemy, and then he pities him and almost blame himself.
same crap here. "Isis is an excuse".. yeah sure... same method as in paris, almost same place, for same reason, but that has nothing to do with the fact that the guy went to islamic countries 2 times where they execute gays because that's what their coran says.. the fact the father is a taliban, well just coincidence.. Sure that particular isis fighter chose to kill gays, well others prefer to kill people who drink alcohol in bars, others prefers to kill people at a metal concert, other at a movie theater. Dont you understand anything that is a symbol of our western way of living is a possible target?... then based on who they hate the most the djihadist will attack whatever target he wants. still he does that for the sake of isis. Saying the guy is a nutjob as an excuse is no excuse, as you have to be totally fu*** up to commit terrorist attack / being part of isis.
