It's is one of the things I liked about him; a very masculine bi guy. So, him calling himself "straight" in the apology is interesting. It is, perhaps, shorthand- he's got a child, he's currently with a women, so he's culturally straight for the purposes of this apology.

This is probably projecting too much, but I'm imagining him writing a draft of the apology where he was bisexual and realizing it sounded whiny, like he was making excuses, and cutting his bisexuality out for expediency. (Or maybe he just identifies as straight now, obviously.)

I had that same thought. It seems like an intentional choice and I am curious about what motivated it. I suspect it was just too much nuance for the situation. I doubt most folks would have been able to absorb that information into the narrative that had already been formed.

Agree- If that's actually what was behind it I completely understand.
