It's looking like maybe the killer was struggling to deal with his own sexuality.
We now know that he partied at the Pulse gay nightclub periodically over a three year period, made contacts with men on gay hook-up and dating apps, and pledged allegiance or made reference to competing terrorist groups (al-Nusra, ISIS, al-Qaeda -- he was all over the map).
His dad is a nut job. He says there is no way his son was gay, and that his son knew God will punish gays after death and it isn't for man to do so on earth (paraphrase). He also previously said the killings had nothing to do with religion. Dad's not a credible/objective source, in my opinion.
