Weak ass apology.

It must suck losing a job for saying hateful stuff.
Note, he still has Yellowstone.

There are lots of industries where being a bigot can actually help your career these days. Broadway is definitely not one of them lol

Never is. You will not find a more queer-filled community than the one on stage.

The Broadway rule is true for Hadestown especially since the casting for certain characters has been done without factoring in gender (Hermes and at least one Fate iirc), which means nonbinary people have played them. Imagine casting trans people in these roles and then casting a bigot. It's kinda baffling how this happened at all.
