I'll be honest, I wrestle with the ethics of how you should properly apologize. When a reaction is an over-reaction does that mean you need to over-apologize for something you actually didn't say or mean? Part of the struggle in our me-first culture is the idea that my feelings trump everything. So if I'm offended even if you didn't mean to offend you still need to apologize. Frankly, I don't think this is always true. When unintended offense is taken then intentional apology isn't necessary.
Colby, I love you. And in addition to your being a child of God, I love you for how you stand up for the marginalized and minimized.
Regarding the current issue with the wording you used in the article, I'd propose being contrite for the hurt or disappointment caused others, however intentional. A detailed explanation can be interpreted as a justification.

Well said. Nice “recovery”. Keep up the great work. 😊🙏
