Calling his own comments “inexcusable," Kurtz said that his error was partly due to speed-reading Collins' now-historic article in Sports Illustrated: “On Monday, I read the Sports Illustrated article by Jason Collins, the first pro male-team athlete to come out publicly as gay. I read it too fast and carelessly missed that Jason Collins said he was engaged previously to a woman and [I] then wrote and commented that he was wrong to keep that from readers when, in fact, I was the one who was wrong.” ]]> Sun, 05 May 2013 10:31:28 MDT Staff Sports 2 http://gaynow.com/story.php?title=howard-kurtz-apologizes-on-cnn-for-errors-1 http://gaynow.com/story.php?title=eight-footballers-say-were-gay-but-keep-quiet-in-fear-of-fans Sun, 05 May 2013 10:18:28 MDT Staff Sports 2 http://gaynow.com/story.php?title=eight-footballers-say-were-gay-but-keep-quiet-in-fear-of-fans http://gaynow.com/story.php?title=vince-lombardi-accepted-gay-players-on-his-team Sat, 04 May 2013 11:22:49 MDT Staff Sports 1 http://gaynow.com/story.php?title=vince-lombardi-accepted-gay-players-on-his-team http://gaynow.com/story.php?title=national-gay-and-lesbian-athlete-hall-of-fame-launches-in-chicago Fri, 03 May 2013 11:14:30 MDT Staff Sports 1 http://gaynow.com/story.php?title=national-gay-and-lesbian-athlete-hall-of-fame-launches-in-chicago http://gaynow.com/story.php?title=jason-collins-twitter-death-threats-after-gay-announcement Thu, 02 May 2013 10:32:00 MDT Staff Sports 1 http://gaynow.com/story.php?title=jason-collins-twitter-death-threats-after-gay-announcement http://gaynow.com/story.php?title=wisconsin-church-cancels-former-nfl-player%E2%80%99s-speech-over-tweet-supporting-gay-nba-player ]]> Wed, 01 May 2013 11:22:53 MDT Staff Sports 1 http://gaynow.com/story.php?title=wisconsin-church-cancels-former-nfl-player%E2%80%99s-speech-over-tweet-supporting-gay-nba-player http://gaynow.com/story.php?title=larry-johnson-says-hed-be-uncomfortable-with-gay-teammate Wed, 01 May 2013 11:21:13 MDT Staff Sports 1 http://gaynow.com/story.php?title=larry-johnson-says-hed-be-uncomfortable-with-gay-teammate http://gaynow.com/story.php?title=jason-collins-girlfriend-i-never-suspected-nba-player-was-gay Wed, 01 May 2013 11:13:36 MDT Staff Sports 1 http://gaynow.com/story.php?title=jason-collins-girlfriend-i-never-suspected-nba-player-was-gay http://gaynow.com/story.php?title=espn-supports-broussard-after-controversial-jason-collins-comments Outside the Lines.
