Evidence is mounting that Omar Mateen, the gunman who murdered 49 people in a gay nightclub in Orlando early Sunday morning, was himself gay.
Mateen's horrifying attack on Pulse nightclub was initially thought to be a homophobic attack rooted in extremist Islamic ideology.
But now his ex-wife and former security school classmate have stepped forward to say they think Mateen was gay, the same day it was revealed that Mateen had made at least a dozen previous visits to Pulse, and was a user of gay dating app Jack'd.
Mateen's first wife, Sitora Yusufiy, whom he met online in 2009 and married soon after, spoke to a Brazilian TV station on Monday, Gawker reported.
Yusufiy was joined on the channel by her Brazilian fiance, Marcio Dias.
Speaking Portuguese, he told the channel that Yusufiy told him Mateen had 'gay tendencies' and had been called gay in front of her on several occasions by his father.
He also said that she didn't believe that Mateen's Islamic beliefs were at the root of his attack.
She had told the FBI that he he was unstable, and that she didn't believe he was part of a terrorist group - despite him telling authorities he was with ISIS before the attack an ISIS later taking credit.
'The FBI asked her not to tell this to the American media,' he told the station.
Yusufiy sought divorce from Mateen in 2011, after he turned violent.
‘After a few months he started to beat me,’ she had said previously. ‘He was mentally unstable… he was obviously disturbed. I know he had a history of [taking] steroids.'
And talking to the Palm Beach Post, a former classmate of Mateen said that the mass-murderer once asked him out on a date.

I think they’re pulling a Benghazi story on this one.
A gay radical Muslim - talk about cognitive dissonance.
Just your typical gay-on-gay violence. Nothing to see here.
A gay Islamic homophobic Democrat. What a guy.
It’s going to be amazing to witness the three-dimensional whirling dervish act that ensues over the next few days.
I hope Trump stirs the mess into an excrement storm.

“Just your typical gay-on-gay violence. Nothing to see here.”
Indeed. Not Muslim terrorism at all, just anther instance of gay workplace violence. The two trips to Saudi Arabia were just for water skiing, and the three 911 calls declaring allegiance to ISIS were wrong numbers.

In other words, he was a pillow biter.
Not really, since all muslims are gay to begin with. It's part of their culture.
It could make sense. Since Islam says gays must die, he executed as many as he could before he was executed himself by cop.
Mateen being gay puts the issue in a new light. This is really bad for the gay community.
Bingo. Roid Rage.
If by that you mean folks will do anything to make this about something other than Islam, yeah I can see that.
OTOH it changes nothing about his being motivated to attack because of Islam. There is no grace with Mohammad. Perchance they guy thought killing those he’d partied with was a “repentance” of sorts.
If so he killing was still for Islam even if the specific choice of targets was for things gay.
I just don’t believe the ex-wife. I think the whole “gay” angle is being trotted out to take focus off the fact this was an Islamic terror attack on U.S. soil. I also doubt the veracity of the guy who claims Mateen asked him for a date. I think we will hear a lot of lies meant to advance the LGBetc agenda and the gun grabbers agenda. The truth will soon take a back seat to the narrative being formed by team Progressives.
You'd be hard pressed to find a muslim terrorist who wasn't gay. I can't think of one.
Yep
