Aaron Brink, a former porn actor and MMA fighter, told CBS8 he received a call on Sunday night from his child’s public defender to say he was under arrest for the mass shooting. “They started telling me about the incident, a shooting involving multiple people,” Mr Brink said in an interview. I said, ‘God, is he gay?’ I got scared, ‘S***, is he gay?’ And he’s not gay, so I said, ‘Phhhewww…’” He told the CBS8 his family were Mormon, adding: “We don’t do gay.” The father said that while he holds anti-gay views, there’s no excuse for his child allegedly shooting people in an LGTBQ+ club. That never included using guns though, Mr Brink added, though he believes “guns are good.” Rather, he taught his child to fight like him.
