Entertainment host Mario Lopez has walked back his recent controversial comments in which he implied that it’s dangerous for parents to definitively label their young children as transgender.
The “Saved by the Bell” star agreed, saying he struggles to understand their mentality, too. “I’m blown away,” he said. The pair went on to confuse gender identity and sexual orientation when Owens pointed to her own temporary tomboy phase as evidence that no one can definitively label their “sexuality” as such a young age. Lopez continued to mistakenly refer to gender as sexuality, saying, “When you’re a kid … You don’t know anything about sexuality, you’re just a kid.”
GLAAD was one of the many people and organizations that took to social media to call out the “Access Hollywood” host. “Medical and psychological experts, and parents of children who are transgender, have long discredited the ideas that @MarioLopezExtra shared,” GLAAD tweeted. “The real dangerous action is when someone with a public platform uses bad science to speak against a vulnerable group of children.
