Ex-Wife Says Orlando Shooter Might Have Been Hiding Homosexuality From His Family

https://www.yahoo.com/news/ex-wife-says-orlando-shooter-105927115.html

But when she thinks back on the brief marriage seven years ago, there are other recollections that come to mind. “There were things he would do in his daily life that most straight men don’t do,” she said in a phone interview with TIME on Tuesday.

“He would take a long time in front of the mirror, he would often take pictures of himself, and he made little movements with his body that definitely made me question things,” she recalled, “It definitely popped up in my head whether he was totally straight.”...

Yusufiy said she never noticed anything in their sex life that would lead her to believe Mateen was gay. But she noted that any kind of sexual exploration would have been totally forbidden by Mateen’s strict Afghan family.

“In his family structure, homosexuality was really not tolerated,” she said. “And one of the directions of his life was to be a perfect son.”

"take a long time in front of the mirror, he would often take pictures of himself, and he made little movements with his body"


These are the telltale signs someone's gay, huh? These are the things "most straight men don't do"


Looks like the ex-wife is another homophobe just like the father. But as long as it points away from that other thing, that 's good enough for many on DU.
