The evening after the massacre at Orlando's Pulse nightclub, a California pastor took the opportunity to preach that "God said: When you find a sodomite, put them to death.'" A video of the sermon was uploaded by the church, then deleted "for violating YouTube's policy on hate speech." A copy of the video uploaded by someone else, describing the sermon as "despicable," was allowed to remain.

and there is a good chance that was all just an excuse for cover his own instabilities and inadequacies
None of that matters in the ongoing propaganda war.
For example if a white cop shoots a black suspect, stuff automatically hits the fan racially. Private life or special situations don't matter, in the bigger propaganda war its just another white cop shooting another black kid.
I mean it matters in a certain abstract sense why an individual did something, especially to the individuals involved.
But for 99% of the population its just an anecdote in the propaganda war and from that point of view all that matters is the demographics. For the zillionth time, attacker is Moslem, victim is gay, and there's endless hand wringing about how to not stand up to protect the inevitable future victims, if we pretend there's no problem maybe it won't happen again, etc.
In the progressive pecking order Moslems rank higher than gays, like it or not. Personally, if I had to have one, I'd rather have the gays, but to say I'm not progressive would be an understatement so that doesn't matter.
But, unfortunately, the problem will happen until its fixed, as is the case with most problems. Either Moslem extremism has to go, or the gays have to go, or we can watch bodies stack up. There is no 4th alternative. There are various debatable alternatives for "Moslem extremism has to go" or maybe even "the gays have to go". Its not binary of course, and we could get rid of both.
