(8,175 posts)Where do you think he learned this hatred against gays?
He had a lot of war time ME influence from his family. He was a screwed up young man who was filled with anger and hate, and took it out on his wife first. Then she left him...that made him even angrier, no doubt.
He bought into the ISIS hate and rage and professed to support them. That doesn't mean he ever communicated with them, and his ex wife and parents say he wasn't religious, so this wasn't about the Muslim faith. I think he was just a genuine homophobe with unmanageable hatred and rage, and finally lashed out at the thing he hated most. It probably didn't help the the FBI investigated him twice (and interviewed him) for racist and homophobic language he used in front of co-workers...they reported him. That just spurred on his rage.
He was a time bomb waiting to happen.
