It's difficult to reconcile his apology with the fact that he's been making this argument for a couple of decades, including in a book in 1999. http://www.theatlanticwire.com/business/2013/05/niall-fergusons-history-john-maynard-keynes-gayness/64885/

Either he never actually thought about what he was saying before, his apology is false, he was trolling for attention or he was pandering to his audience with particularly stupid homophobic remarks. I suspect the last is the most likely, but none of those explanations make Ferguson look good.
