He got very angry when he saw two men kissing
The BBC is live updating the news from Orlando.
These are the main points from the second press briefing by officials in Orlando:
- 50 people killed, up from 20, making the Pulse nightclub attack the worst mass shooting in recent US history
- New death toll came after investigators were able to gain better access to the building – they had to ensure it was clear of devices
- 53 people were injured, many critically
Officials are saying the death toll will go up.
NBC news say they have spoken to the father of the suspected gunman by phone.
The man said: “We are saying we are apologising for the whole incident. We weren’t aware of any action he is taking. We are in shock like the whole country.
“This had nothing to do with religion.”
He added his son “got very angry when he saw two men kissing” months before in Miami.
Seek not to come between the dragon and his wroth.
“This has nothing to do with religion”
Because no religion teaches that gay sex is a mortal sin.
So, if it wasn’t religion, why did he get angry? Jealousy?

Just misogyny will do it.
One of my old man’s favourite insults for men he didn’t like was, “I’ll bet he sits down to pee”. Get it? Like a woman! The pansy!
Just misogyny and not necessarily religion… sure, but religion gives that shit a very nice welcome.
Oh and it also grants safe harbour for anyone wanting to defend themselves from charges of misogyny, homophobia etc.: “I’m not [x], I’m just expressing my sincerely held religions views.” Religion provides a ‘get out of
jailsocial criticism free’ card.The shooter beat his wife regularly, and had a coworker quit his job to escape his racist and homophobic ranting.
