My point is focusing on the framing of the attacker as a potential self-hating gay man soon after the event occurred rather than the reality of his background. The attacker was affiliated with ISIS and it appears that Pulse being a gay nightclub may have been purely coincidental and was targeted because of the sheer number of people there. (*He actually turned out to be neither of those things, at least regarding his motives for the attack itself. I hope none of my reply comes across as hostile or condescending-it’s certainly not intended to be, and the phrase “Nothing wrong with homosexuality, there is something wrong with hate to hide who you are” is completely on point and I love it. Most homophobic/violently homophobic people aren’t gay, and as a gay man it just gets disheartening seeing this narrative. That sounds like a reach/like I’m exaggerating, but a prominent example is when the Pulse shooting in Orlando occurred and all over social media were insensitive comments looking into his background trying to find out if he was a self-hating gay man, rather than assuming what was much more likely: that he was a violent homophobe.* I saw some news outlets speculating about the same thing as well early on, but searching for articles now isn’t turning up any results, so I hope I either imagined them or they’ve since been amended. Yes, it happens, but it’s yet another way of deflecting hate crimes against gay people onto supposedly self-hating gay people themselves. To be fair a lot of gay people, myself included (although obviously I don’t speak for every gay person), are uncomfortable with that narrative being spread.
