As Queer As A $3 Bill

Sorry to use this insult from my youth, but it fits.  If some one kills an LGBTIIQABCDEFGHIJ, it's usually another member of the tribe, like Matthew Shephard's killer.  6/13/16 Palm Beach Post:

A former classmate of Omar Mateen’s 2006 police academy class said he believed Mateen was gay, saying Mateen once asked him out.Officials say Mateen shot and killed 49 people and injured 53 others at an Orlando nightclub early Sunday morning.The classmate said that he, Mateen and other classmates would hang out, sometimes going to gay nightclubs, after classes at the Indian River Community College police academy. He said Mateen asked him out romantically.

And 6/13/16 Los Angeles Times reports Mateen was a regular the club and used a gay dating app.

This really doesn't surprise me.  Part of why Islam is so homophobic, as I have pointed out in the past is that is a culture awash in child sexual abuse and what is often its successor: homosexuality.  Growing up Muslim with a father who supports the Taliban, a messy suicide to go to what the Koran calls a paradise full of "boys of perpetual freshness," may have looked good.

6/13/16 New York Post:

The ex-wife of Orlando mass killer Omar Mateen claimed Monday that she believed he was homosexual — as it was revealed that he frequented the gay nightclub where he staged the nation’s worst massacre in modern times.
Sitora Yusufiy, who was married to Mateen in 2009 for three months, made the shocking claim on Brazilian television station SBT Brazil.

Her fiancé, Marco Dias, speaking in Portuguese on her behalf, said Yusufiy believed that Mateen had “gay tendencies” and that his father had called him gay in front of her. Dias also claimed “the FBI asked her not to tell this to the American media.

The bombshell came as a male former classmate of Omar Mateen said he had been asked out romantically by the mass killer, who reportedly was a virtual regular at the Pulse nightclub, having visited it more than a dozen times over the years.

The former classmate said he would hang out with Mateen, hitting gay bars after attending class at Indian River Community College police academy in 2006 — and one time Mateen asked him out “romantically,” according to the Palm Beach Post.

“We went to a few gay bars with him, and I was not out at the time, so I declined his offer,” the former classmate told the paper.
