Mario Lopez Apologizes for Ignorant
Comments About Transgender Children.
After recently coming under fire for remarks
he made during an appearance on ‘The Candace
Owens Show,’ Lopez has issued an official apology.
The comments I made were ignorant
and insensitive, and I now have a deeper
understanding of how hurtful they were, Mario Lopez, via ‘People’ .
Lopez assured that he would use this to
“better educate” himself and be “more
informed and thoughtful” moving forward.
During the controversial interview, Lopez said it was
“dangerous” for parents to allow their three-year-olds
to make definitive choices about their gender.
I just think it’s dangerous as a parent to make
that determination then — ‘Okay, well then you’re
going to be a boy or a girl,’ whatever the case
may be. It’s sort of alarming and my gosh, I just
think about the repercussions later on.

Lopez went on to say that parents need to “be the
adult in the situation” and wait until their children are
older to make declarations about sexuality and gender. .
