That is part of the whole radical, fanatic Islamic belief system he followed.
Not too long ago a well known Imam issued a statement that k*****g gays was OK and even required under Islam, at least his brand of it. I would have to check but I believe it was in Florida and an Imam whose ideas the shooter supposedly had knowledge of.
In a not so distant passed (45years) when I traveled through Muslim countries I noticed quite a few young men walking down the streets holding hands.....when I asked what that was all about I was told that purchasing a wife was quite expensive so young men who couldn't yet afford one just got friendly with each other.......it was perfectly normal behavior for them, so it seemed anyway !
Nowadays with the worldwide interracial interaction and mixing of "primitive cultures" with our own western liberal ways may seem like not such a good idea in retrospect!
Loose sexual behavior mixed in with stringent religious requirements and easy weapons acquisition makes for a volatile cocktail ......and being promised 72 virgins when you die doesn't help keep things simple here on earth !
