The previous response of his detailed in that piece is “I wouldn’t tell that joke today, because when I said it, the times weren’t as sensitive as they are now,” which is also not an apology, it's an "I could get away with it back then when things weren't so PC, now I can't."
Sure. If he had genuinely apologized previously (which maybe he did, I'm just saying I don't see any evidence of it) and if his work as a comedian had left such work behind, then I'd be inclined to agree with you.
Yeeeeeeah, maybe, but intentions don't matter much when you're perpetuating homophobia in such a way that hundreds of thousands of dads watching your routine just laugh along uncritically and think to themselves "Yeah, damn right, my son better not be gay!"
Ideally, comedy would work to challenge and subvert those belief systems, not to reinforce them.
