Vanity Fair is covering all their bases.
They have apologized yet again for their writer Brett Berk‘s Glee article where he used an anti-gay slur.
This is what they have to say:
“With so many genuine homophobes stirring up trouble these days, the gay community doesn├óΓé¼Γäót need any agita from an ally like vanityfair.com, so we are eager to set the record straight about the use of the word ├óΓé¼┼ôfags├óΓé¼┬¥ in Brett Berk├óΓé¼Γäós latest ‘Gay Guide to Glee‘ column. Brett, who has repeatedly referred to himself as VF.com├óΓé¼Γäós ‘fun and faggy editor’ (a title the editors have declined to endorse), writes from a humorous and explicitly gay perspective, and his invocation of this complicated word was meant to critique the notion that the gay characters of Glee should feel obliged to ‘play straight’ on stage. That said, we recognize that the column caused genuine offense to many readers, and we apologize unreservedly to them.”
Still seems like they may be giving excuses, but at least it feels like a genuine apology.
Do U agree?
