“Why would the “powers that be” want to fabricate a fake gay identity for the shooter?”
Oh I am sure it is disinformation.
Framing it this way now they can play the victim card. Poor closet homosexual, due to societal shaming, finally snaps. Its not his fault you see, he snapped because society would not let him be who he wanted to be.
Then they get to pivot to the gun card. You see since society is so mean, poor little victims are bound to snap (not their fault), and our society allows guns so freely that the only rational thing to do it to outlaw guns.
All this while also turning the issue away from islam. Total win win for them.
Saying that the shooter was gay and conflicted puts the tertorist in a victim group. Suddenly, he is the innocent victim of racist, homophobic Christian AmeriKKKa and the NRA, Islam had nothing to do with it and the people to blame are Christians and gun owners. That has pretty much been the narrative.
