<p>Honestly, the “Te’o is homosexual” theory seems the most plausible at this point. It’s a discreet subtle way to connect with the guy pretending to be Lennay (probably they are in a relationship). I can understand why Te’o wouldn’t want the pressure of being the first openly gay athlete, especially as a Mormon and especially at a school like Notre Dame.</p>
<p>The lengths he/they went to create the persona and the reasoning for killing her off (though I do believe it was paired with his grandmother’s death in a futile attempt to bury the entire affair quietly), though, boggles me.</p>
<p>Very very odd story.</p>
