In an interview with conservative commentator Candace Owens, entertainment host Mario Lopez made a comment about parenting transgender children that outraged many. Later, Lopez called his comments "ignorant and insensitive" and vowed to "be more informed and thoughtful."
Owens, who hosts her own show on the PragerU YouTube channel, asked Lopez about what she called "weird trends," in Hollywood. "Celebrities are coming out — and I know Charlize Theron did this a few weeks ago — and saying that their child is picking their gender," Owens said.
