Budde, in her statement, quoted with permission from a dozen of the people who wrote to her in protest. Hollerith said people had reached out to him as well, and he acknowledged he had erred in not listening to their calls to rescind the invitation to Lucado.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn my straight privilege I failed to see and fully understand the pain he has caused,\u201d Hollerith said. \u201cI failed to appreciate the depth of injury his words have had on many in the LGBTQ community.
