As shared in our editor&rsquo;s note earlier today, we initially thought swift removal of any identifying characteristics and better clarification of our intent was the adequate way to address this. Our initial reaction was that the entire removal of the piece was not necessary. We were wrong. We&rsquo;re sorry. And we apologize to the athletes who may have been inadvertently compromised by our story.<\/p>\n<p>Today we did not uphold a deep set of The Daily Beast&rsquo;s values. These values&mdash;which include standing up to bullies and bigots, and specifically being a proudly, steadfastly supportive voice for LGBT people all over the world&mdash;are core to our commitment to journalism and to our commitment to serving our readers.<\/p>\n<p>As a newsroom, we succeed together and we fail together, and this was a failure on The Daily Beast as a whole, not a single individual. The article was not intended to do harm or degrade members of the LGBT community, but intent doesn&rsquo;t matter, impact does. Our hope is that removing an article that is in conflict with both our values and what we aspire to as journalists will demonstrate how seriously we take our error.<\/p>\n<p>We were wrong. We will do better.<\/p>\n<p>Many are still <a href=\"http:\/\/www.outsports.com\/2016\/8\/11\/12447796\/daily-beast-removes-grindr-gay-olympics-sex-article\" target=\"_blank\">calling for the DB to fire Hines<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Amini Fonua, an openly <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> Olympic swimmer from Tonga, took to social media with fury.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-width=\"550\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">As an out <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> athlete from a country that is still very homophobic, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/thedailybeast\">@thedailybeast<\/a> ought to be ashamed <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/deplorable?src=hash\">#deplorable<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/qzS9rDFJwx\">t.co\/qzS9rDFJwx<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Amini Fonua (@AminiFonua) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AminiFonua\/status\/763834470009036800\">August 11, 2016<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote data-width=\"550\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Imagine the one space you can feel safe, the one space you&#8217;re able to be yourself, ruined by a straight person who thinks it&#8217;s all a joke?<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Amini Fonua (@AminiFonua) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AminiFonua\/status\/763839572996423680\">August 11, 2016<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote data-width=\"550\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">No straight person will ever know the pain of revealing your truth, to take that away is just&hellip; I can&#8217;t.
