Omar Mateen’s father said the attack was not influenced by religion, and apologizes for his son’s actions. [x]

Omar Mateen’s ex-wife reveals that Omar had a history of violence and was very abusive towards her, often beating her when he came home. She also adds that he wasn’t very religious [x]

This was a hate crime against the LGBT community (who I might add many were Latinx, since the shooting in Pulse happened on Upscale Latin Night), but please don’t jump to conclusions and use this situation to justify Islamophobia. Many people are dead and many more injured are in desperate need of help, focus on helping those out instead. 

If you live in/near the Orlando area, you can donate blood. Must be at least 16 years old and at least 100 lbs. Call 1-888-9donate.

If not, you can help by donating to support the victims of the Pulse Shooting [x]

Please let me know if any of this information is wrong.
