A judge in northwest Ohio deeply apologized Thursday for a pair of homophobic letters-to-the-editor he wrote to his college newspaper in the 1990s.

Maumee Municipal Court Judge Dan Hazard issued the apology to news outlets in Toledo, after WTOL-TV reported on the letters, which are available in the online archive of The Lantern at Ohio State University.

Hazard, who was elected judge in 2017, said he could offer "zero excuse" for the letters and would not attempt to justify their contents, which he labeled "reprehensible." He said he wrote them as a teenage college student and "by no means hold those beliefs today." Hazard said he works to treat every litigant and attorney with that same respect "no matter their background, experience or gender identity and will continue to do so."
