I've been made aware that most of you till mon or tuesday did not hear the declarations to ISIS this guy made to 911 and the local stations... Which is the reason I'm told the focus or reaction of the community was to make this a reaction to anti gay sentiment rather than an ISIS lone wold attack?
Is this true?
No. Whomever your "source" is, they're woefully inaccurate.
"The community" views this attack through several different lenses, and has since the beginning. Whoever your "source" is, they aren't authorized to speak for me, nor, I'd wager, for anyone else here aside from themselves. Would you do me a favor and convey that sentiment to them?

and reuters confirms what I said about the Lgbt leadership using this shooting as a leap to political legitmacy.

So despite what you knew and when my question remains. Is it Because the FBI withheld this solid tie to terrorism did it cause the Lgbt community to automatically assume this was some sort of hate crime specifically aimed at gay people rather than a terrorist attack on the west?
Or is the LGBT leadership so despicable that despite knowing this was a confirmed radical islamic attack on the west (but specifically targeting gay people as a way for this guy to atone for his sin) that they would use the deaths of these 49 people as an empathy play to gain political legitimacy?
That is what I am asking douche, and as you can see it has nothing to do with you.
