ORLANDO, Fla. -- Investigators continue to look into Orlando gunman Omar Mateen's past and whether his wife played a role in the attack at the Pulse nightclub.
A second woman has come forward claiming she was stalked by Mateen. The woman, who asked that CBS News not use her real name to protect her privacy, said she first met Mateen in 2011 at a courthouse in Port St. Lucie, Florida, where he was working as a security guard.
"The way I met him, walking into a courthouse, he held my keys as I walked in. He didn't want to give them back to me, and he said, 'I want to date you,'" the woman, using the pseudonym Marie, told CBS News. "And I said, 'Give me my keys.' He gave me my keys, and I went about my business."
But later that day, Mateen found her.

Until I hear a man come forward and say "I had sex with that dude," the question will be open in my mind. He was not a healthy personality - that much is clear.

(99,710 posts)The fact he was interested in meeting pre-operative or non-operative trans women lends credence to that theory.

(14,851 posts)Gay men are usually interested in other men.
But I'm sure there's some other straight people here who have had more experience than the Gay posters here and will be around to correct me.

And in the case of this man, I am sure that the bi community will be more than glad to not be associated with him...especially on such flimsy evidence. [/font]

(9,288 posts)[font style="font-family:'Georgia','Baskerville Old Face','Helvetica',fantasy;" size=4 color=#009999]Though, I would think the fact that he had two wives and not a single active boyfriend would have proven that on its own.
But un-named sources, rumor, and whatever apparently carry more weight...cause there is no way a bigot can be straight ya know?
Sadly, I don't think there is anyway for this homophobic insinuation to ever die at this point. People will just ignore this like they did other facts that didn't line up with their confirmation bias.[/font]
