[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it was a hate crime. I think he sympathized with ISIL because it made his feelings of violence and hate seem legitimate. It gave him a sense of purpose and focus. He hated himself and anyone who acted on the homosexual feelings he denied (or maybe he acted on them and hated himself for it).[/quote]

[b]Does anyone else think the designation hate crime doesn't quite work if he himself was gay? "[/b]self hate to gays plus hate to west (Isis element) crime"? I think its important to not give this a pat label that will obfuscate the intentions once time passes and specifics are forgotten. [/quote]

No.  People can internalise a lot, especially harmful stuff.[/quote]

Whatever he internaized, if he's gay its sadly gay on gay violence, or  self hate. I dont think if a black man massacred a black church because he was not ok with being black - that it would be characterized as a hate crime.  Its a self hate crime.

I dont see how this is homophobia if he hung out at a gay bar and had gay sex.[/quote]
