Come on, Joy. You blog posts weren't even that bad, they were just in poor taste. You didn't say anything particularly vitriolic or hateful. This is your opportunity to admit that these were once your views, and emphasize your personal growth since then.
Instead, you are just going to pretend that your past self never existed...
"I find gay sex to be gross" isn't that controversial of an opinion. Plenty of open-minded, accepting people agree with you. It just wasn't a worthwhile opinion to espouse...
Own it, Joy. Don't just play dumb, because now you just look dumb.
"This is who I used to be, there were many people like me at the time, but my views have evolved and I've become close friends with many of the people that my words hurt. I'm sorry and I work every day to make up for these mistakes."
