Fifty people were killed and a further 53 injured after gunman Omar Mateen opened fire at an LGBT nightclub in Florida in the early hours of yesterday morning.
Officials say Mateen pledged allegiance to Isis before carrying out the attack but his father says he was motivated by homophobia rather than his religion.
Mir Seddique told NBC News his son had become angry when he saw two men kissing in Miami several months ago.
‘Maybe that’s why he went after a gay club,’ he added.
In defiance of the homophobic attack, people from all over the world are now sharing pictures of men kissing under the hashtag #TwoMenKissing.
