I’m a black gay man, and I’ve known Joy Reid since my days at MSNBC. She interviewed me for her book years ago and spoke to my students in one of my Columbia classes a year or two ago. She has always treated me with dignity and respect, and I respect and appreciate her as well.

1. She needs to make this statement to her fans.

I am not a bigot
I am not a homophobe.
In the past, if I wrote, posted, or reposted anything that might have been in bad humor or bad judgment, I sincerely apologize.

Period.
End of story.
