Orlando Gunman Was Gay, Says Former Police-Academy Classmate
NY Magazine ^ | June 14, 2016 | Claire Landsbaum

When Omar Mateen — a 29-year-old security guard — opened fire at Pulse nightclub in Orlando on Sunday, killing 49 people and wounding 53, it wasn't his first time at the club. In fact, according to at least four regular patrons, Mateen had visited the club several times before, and one — Chris Callen, a drag queen who performs at Pulse under the name Kristina McLaughlin — said Mateen had been going there "for at least three years."

Additional reports suggest Mateen had created profiles on multiple gay-dating apps: Grindr, Jack'd, and Adam for Adam, to name a few. And a former police-academy classmate of Mateen's said he believed Mateen was gay and had asked him out on a date. "We went to a few gay bars with him, and I was not out at the time, so I declined his offer," the classmate told the Palm Beach Post. He went on, "He just wanted to fit in and no one liked him. He was always socially awkward."

FROM THE COMMENTS SECTION AT YOUR SOURCE —

He most likely was in the closet but due to the pressure and restrictions of his culture and religion (there’s that word again) could not live the life he truly wanted.So instead he lived the life dictated by his culture and religion taking out his frustrations (as his ex-wife,a 2nd “mystery wife” and others have acknowledged).

Then came the Orlando tragedy taking his frustration out on innocent people.I have traveled extensively for business over the years to Pakistan,Iran,Iraq,Afghanistan etc before the conflicts and/or when it was not a question of safety as it is today.The number of sexual overtures and direct propositions from men was mind-boggling.

I did not even consider going through with any of them as I didn’t feel like winding up either diseased,dead or on You Tube praising Allah before they sliced my throat.There are also several on-line surveys that monitor hits on porn websites regardless of their content.The majority of hits come from the countries I mentioned above with the addition of India and Bangladesh both countries with restrictive cultures and religious beliefs.So as the saying goes if it walks like a duck,quacks like a duck,looks like a duck then guess it is a duck.

I wonder if the public schools are still asking children what they want to be when they grow up. Ask a kindergarten/first grade student of Islamic parents and how many times will the honest answer be . . . “a suicide bomber!”

It would truly not surprise me to learn that public school teachers are told to suppress this piece of data from the authorities.

Or if asked what nicknames the little tyke has at home . . . ‘My uncle calls me his little goat!”

I agree, the talking points have went out. Motivation: Anything but Islam.

He attacked what he knew as a Muslim killer who inflicted over 100 casualties.

What people fail to understand is just how widespread and normalized homosexuality is among muslim men, especially Afghan men.

The left is desperately trying to portray the attack as anything but Islamic terrorism. If it turns out this guy was gay, that dispels their argument that this was an anti-gay hate crime, and not terrorism.

when a gay man was killed in Benghazi all they could say was "what difference does it make" as to why we were attacked.

VIRGINS (Houris):

Mohammed knew that sex would sell very well among the group of his followers who were motivated to fight battles by the promise of sex slaves and booty. By constantly emphasizing to his followers that they would get untouched virgins in Paradise, Mohammed is clearly expressing his “high” opinion of the institution of marriage and his fairness to women. Once the followers go to heaven, they can conveniently ditch their wives for the fresher and more pleasurable sexual encounters with ‘Houris’ (beautiful virgins). The poor wives who gave up their virginity for the pleasure of their husbands do not get anything. But wait, Allah is all merciful! He gives the wives the rare honour of watching their husbands deflower those 72 Houris (virgins) and 28 young pre-pubescent boys.

Not really.

Now the spin will be that he would never had gone off the deep end if only society hadn’t stigmatized his natural sexual desires. You know, maybe Islam is a bit more intolerant than those Christian bible thumpers, but just barely.

WP editorial in the making.

I read a few comments on a similar LA Times article. They were saying this proves that the guy was not Muslim, just a self-hating gay and it’s all because of right-wing gun carrying nuts.

I’ve always thought Muslims were a little light in the loafers.

The media got their marching orders. This is a hate crime. All the late night shows were doing editorial comments last night about the hatred and that people should be able to be who they want to be and love each other.

These people are idiots. Do not believe this guy was gay. The Boston bombers, that he mentioned, weren’t gay. Alahu Akbar is not a gay thing. They’ll do anything to change the subject: An American hating muslim killed 49 people.... who happen to be gay.

I guess next they’ll start saying every one who dies in Chicago are gay so every weekend Chicago has a bunch of hate crime murders.

The Taliban believe in young boy sex. Even have a dance ritual. So it’s not as bizarre as it sounds that the mass killer could be homosexual. His family is from Afghanistan. Seems like there are lot of homosexuals in the Muslim communities, maybe because they more or less lock up their women. Bestiality is also practiced & very young girls are often married off by their families.

The government can sign this guy up on gay websites dating back to W’s term. Do not trust any of them.

So they are saying being gay is more likely to cause mass murder than being Muslim?

So Barry has made his choice. Islam will be protected above homosexuality.

Plenty of evidence to show this terrorist was a radical ISLAMIST

That he was possibly a self-hating homosexual only distracts from the real reason. From 911 to Saturday, he was a ticking time bomb Jihadi

The world bought that gay line and believes it till today.

Have you seen the pics of his fiance’? and them together?

I think that was a false slag as well.

There has been nothing but intentional obfuscation from the criminals in charge since day 1.

That poor man. It’s a grievous shame that he was abandoned so callously.
