NBC Backs Johnny Weir’s Apology

Earlier today I posted Johnny Weir’s apology for calling Queer Nation activists “idiots.”  NBC has now issued a short statement about the flap. Via Deadline: “We’re supportive of Johnny’s apology for his choice of words last night in an emotional setting. As we’ve previously stated, NBC will cover all newsworthy issues as they are relevant to the Games, including the LGBT law.”
