Moreover, his apology seemed totally disingenuous. There was an almost flippant arrogance to it. I remember the phrase “Fuck you buddy” going through my head upon reading/seeing his interview, and when I looked at comments about it, I found many others had the same thought. A hallow apology for denying dignity to so many doesn’t then absolve you from the culpability and enable you to then demand dignity for exactly what you stole. No. Just no.

Y'know...he is a grown up...not a child. He KNEW he was GAY when he started onto this road originally...NOW you choose to come out of the closet??? SORRY dude...life doesn't work that way...you betrayed your 'COUNTRY'. YOU CAN'T JUST SAY...I'M SORRY...YOU RUINED PEOPLES LIVES...NOW...LIVE WITH IT!!! NEXT WEEK YOU MIGHT CHANGE SIDES TO SOME OTHER HIGH BIDDER!!!

Agreed. He needs to donate all the profits from his gay conversion therapy towards LGBTQIA+ equality, then I'll think about considering his apology sincere. I'll actually forgive him when he dedicates his life to being an LGBTQIA+ activist.
