Mass shooting at Orlando gay club

[Liza's Headband]

I would be weary of gossip circulated by the Daily Mail.

All of the "he was really GAY!" stuff just smacks of tabloid sensationalism to me. If he was on Grindr or any other app, you'd think one of the people who messaged with him could produce a chat log.

There is a TV interview with one of his alleged pick ups who claims to have slept with him 15-20 times and claims he was upset upon learning he had contracted HIV. He had himself disguised with some prosthetic make-up. Could all be attention whoring though.

Sorry for the link to Daily Mail but they directly reference their source as being Univision.  CBS is also carrying it : http://www.cbsnews.com/news/orlando-shooting-man-who-says-he-was-omar-mateen-gay-lover-speaks-out-univision/  

Some of this does seem pretty sketchy.  I read some nasty comments on their, like this man would lie to the FBI about a terrorist investigation.

" normally I would agree, but they are probably afraid some terrorist nut would come after them.

In seeking to verify the reports, federal agents have culled Mateen's electronic devices, including a laptop computer and cellphone, as well as electronic communications of those who made the claims, law enforcement officials said.

So far, they have found no photographs, no text messages, no smartphone apps, no gay pornography and no cell-tower location data to suggest that Mateen - who was twice married to women and had a young son - conducted a secret gay life, the officials said.
