As well as frequenting the gay nightclub before the attack, the gunman Omar Mateen is said to have used a gay dating app. Kevin West, a regular at Pulse nightclub, said Mateen messaged him on and off for a year before the shooting using the gay chat and dating app Jack’d, according to the LA Times. Mr. West turned over his phone and Jack’d log-in information to the FBI, which still had the phone late Monday, he said.

Um no. This is just a spin to make it look like a hate crime.
This was a terrorist attack.
- this mentalist was probably one of the smartest terrorists on a while. a wolf in sheeps clothing.
Careful research, planning, infiltration, execution.
50 + deaths, no bombs needed. A careful , precise, methodical, attack on a group he scoped and defined.
No one could have suspected him if he seemed 'non-threatning.
...careful research?....
get gun. goto club..shoot anything that moves.
not really a master plan.

Right. So what some assumed was him casing the place doing "research" may well have been that he just hung out there. And apparently at other bars like it.

so,if a bible thumper did the same thing,would he be a "radical christian terrorist"? What do we call the abortion clinic bombers,besides republicans?
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 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.

It/she also says he had a history of taking steroids. This guy was a cocktail of conflict just waiting to explode.
I'm thinking his father is the only advocate of his anti-gay behavior. Or maybe, the shooter was putting on an act in front of his father? But the fact that his father called him gay - in front of his wife, I'm sure it wasn't a term of endearment.
But contains a larger percentage (100%) than any other group. If you gonna go with facts , state the entire facts. Dont leave something out because it sounds better to omit part of it.
All three candidates are scheduled to speak at the two-day conference that’s being organized by ultra-conservative radio pastor Kevin Swanson. Right Wing Watch has put together a fairly comprehensive list of the man’s objectively insane ideas, some of which include: - Girl Scout cookies turn girls into lesbians. - The Rose Bowl needs a float where a gay person gets stoned to death. - Natural disasters in Colorado were probably caused by women in pants. - In women who take birth control pills, “there are these little tiny fetuses—these little babies—embedded into the womb. They’re just, like, dead babies!” - The movie Frozen wants to turn your five-year-old into a lesbian. - And last but not least—homosexuals deserve the death penalty.
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 that 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. [Source]
