“There are things I deeply regret and am embarrassed by, things I would have said differently and issues where my position has changed,” Ms. Reid said. Friday’s apology was the latest in a series that Ms. Reid has made for her previous writings. It began in December, when a Twitter user unearthed the first homophobic posts. Ms. Reid said at the time that she was “disappointed in myself” and that her words were “insensitive, tone deaf and dumb.”But her tone shifted when more homophobic posts emerged in April. She insisted that her blog was “breached” and that “fraudulent entries” were posted “with suspicious formatting and time stamps” that were inconsistent with the rest of the blog.
