'When you're a kid... you don't know anything about sexuality yet,' said the 45-year-old actor and TV personality. 'You're just a kid.'

Mario Lopez is being criticized for claiming it's"dangerous" for parents to support children who identify as transgender.The Candace Owens Show

"And this is strange to me, and they say, 'Oh, I looked at my child and my child was swimming in a bathtub and looked up and said,"Mommy, I'm a boy'" and that's weird." He then conflated gender identity with sexual orientation, saying,"When you're a kid... you don't know anything about sexuality yet. You're just a kid."

Lopez, who welcomed his third child with wife Courtney Mazza this month, told Owens that his older kids don't associate with children who are trans or gender nonbinary.

~ headline is designed to smear Mario Lopez; b/c that is not what he said. This headline is frankly a “lie”. Fake news.

dylnwbstr look what your man said

Shame on you for sensationalizing. You reported the backlash of a few but the tremendous support of many who also agree with his opinion.

It’s easy for someone isn’t transgender and comfortable in the body they were born in to say that. I agree surgery should be at a much later stage in life but if your child identifies as another sex then let them live that way, support your child.

Lol this article is on the repost every hour setting

To Mario Lopez - don’t speak on topics about which you know nothing. When you HAVE or ARE a transgender adult or child, you may speak.

Pray Mario Lopez that God will help you to love all people no matter whether you understand them or not. I don’t automatically understand everything myself. But, I choose to love instead of hating. Such bad stuff happens because of a hateful heart.

That is not what he said! He was referring to a 3 year old child. Not someone’s “children” in general.

I think at 4 or 5 is young, I will support my child, but not allow a sex change until they were old enough to decide for themselves. They are still learning about their bodies. If my son said he thinks he was a girl I would not let him dress/1

Why is this ‘D’ list actor even a thing. His only value these days is to ‘used car’ Prophets pimping out Jesus to build their mansions.

Who?

And this week's award for biased, intentionally misleading and agenda-driven headline goes to Newsweek's Daniel Avery. What Lopez ACTUALLY said was that it's dangerous to allow a 3-year-old to make a determination on his or her gender at such a young age.

Says MarioLopez parenting expert and child psychologist. STFU and look pretty for the camera

Why is anyone interviewing a pile of garbage?

File this under 'evidence that bitterness about being unsuccessful in your career leads to conservatism.'

MarioLopezExtra this is gross.

Who knew he was a transphobic right wing nut job. Why was he even on that lunatic’s show. 🤮🤮

It's dangerous to support your flesh and blood? It's dangerous to support your child? It's dangerous to be a bigot, homophobic, uncaring. MarioLopezExtra It's dangerous to not open your heart and mind to others. It's dangerous to not being accepting of everyone.

Shut up! You aren’t relevant!

It s not a democracy if you cant express your opinion. Trans people shouldnt read too much into what they hear from people since you have to say to agree with everything the LGBTQ community do regardless of how you really feel.

It's even worse to assume they are based on picking up the opposite sex doll or wearing moms robe one time...

26 trans people have been murdered so far this year. Bigots are by far more dangerous

Remember when he cheated on his fiancée? At his bachelor party? With a stripper? Now THAT’S dangerous.

If you have (potentially) transgender children why the hell would you listen to this guy? Lots of qualified professionals out there.

Jesus, you’ve reposted this 3 times in the past two hours.

Ctrl + Alt + Delete boybye

Mario López is an uninformed idiot. Parents don’t decide what gender their children are! Each person, young or old, is who they are. People come out at any age. The love of a parent is unconditional/supports the child. It doesn’t squeeze them into their box to cause damage!

He is right. Children identify as unicorns and super heros. Children can not even have their opinion considered legally till they are 12 . It's child abuse.

Regardless of what he said, you as a parent should always support your child regardless of how they self gender identify.

read the article, he’s absolutely right

This comment can backfire you as a public figure.

Hes right....

What a way to twist what he said.

Is anyone looking to this guy for expertise or guidance?

Nice

Imagine tweeting this blatant misrepresentation of what he said.

True

I support my girls with everything they do. It’s a parents responsibility to support their children, if more parents did I think this world would be a much better place.

It’s dangerous when a pretty boy television personality tells parents how to raise their children

It should be illegal. It's child abuse.

Coming from a man that at any moment could O D on Teeth whitening stripes . He just went from cute to mute in my books!

So when a 3 yr old says they are a unicorn do you feed them hay and let them crap in the yard? liberalismisadisease

He’s gonna miss those guest hosting spots on Ellen I bet.

That is not what he said. That is an article headline crafted for nothing more than click-bait.

What a hateful thing for MarioLopezExtra to say. How disappointing. I don't care if a celebrity is conservative or liberal or whatever, as long as they are a decent human being. But this is just one of several questionable comments Lopez made about children, gender, women...

When you have children part of your responsibility is to make them decent people. Just by his comments about his kids not kicking it with those others shows that he is already slamming people not like him. And you never know as a parent What God gave you in your wonderous child.

Well he used well the gay communities fantasies and took advantage of it. Parenting is personal and hard as it is.

It's dangerous to watch anything that Mario Lopez is in

It is never dangerous for a parent to support their children with love, empathy, compassion and acceptance. Always being there when their child needs them. The danger lies in parents who don’t.

Ignorant. Probably catholic. Doesn't deserve a TV platform.

What’s dangerous is Newsweek cherry picks words from a quote to make a misleading headline and people then make assumptions based on said headline without reading the original quote. Go on, though.

Children know at a very young age if they are in the wrong body.

Going on a show with Candace Owens was his first mistake.

Whatever dude, I support my children no matter what, any parent who doesn’t support their children shouldn’t have them.

It's dangerous someone this dumb is on TV.

No lies detected.

I'm sorry, who is this guy

Weird how you manipulated to quote to leave out that he was talking about toddlers.

FarleyFilms He's right. Thanks for being willing to face blackballing, Mario.

Well there goes his career. 🤔

Newsflash: Mario Lopez has a right to his own opinion.

Science kind of backs him up on this.

Career suicide in today's environment. Unless you an A list superstar best to keep mouth closed.

To be clear he is saying toddlers may not have a firm grasp of ge der identity and supporting a toddlers comment may mean trouble down the road.

Too many child predators & MRA cismen hiding behind the mask of transfolk. Children should never be sexualized; this is abuse.

Well I would boycott him but I already don’t watch him or the shows he’s on.

That’s not what he said

These parents have mental issues and should not have children in the first place. They be institutionalized.

AC Slater spitting truth

It’s dangerous for Slater to provide social commentary

The transgender activism had grown dramatically bc doctors are now much more capitalist than ever before, is a matter of $$; more transgender kids means more $$ for doctors pharma labs clinics and so on. As simple like that

Ignorance is present, in the POOR education and management of all the issues link to children's physical and emotional development in the US& most🌏countries societies. An issue oversimplify and politicized with destructive Consecuences for children's lives at all levels.

So should they disown them or lock them away and hide them from the world?

Oh, look! A has-been trying to become popular again with a bigoted opinion. Whatever Slater!

And...why does it matter what Mr. Tool says?

And It's dangerous especially for children who do not accept to have a problem ..

And he’s . Who?

Its dangerous for any network to put him on the air.

Good for Mario Lopez to have the courage to say what the overwhelming majority of Americans know... Transgenderism is a mental illness and parents that force this illness onto their children should be evaluated for mental illness.

I think what he's saying is, kids are not mature enough to know better... I thought I was Flash, 6 Million Dollar man, and spider, I think I put on my mom jewelry once. I wasn't told I was a girl and nurtured into it!

He sounds confused and like someone who should hold their tongue until they actually know the facts. GNC identity is not a topic of opinion but based on evidence. Good families love and support their whole child. No matter what.

MarioLopezExtra What is dangerous when raising children is not listening to them, and forcing them to be someone they are not. Wake up!

So not only does he host a TV show he also is a child psychologist? Stay in your lane bro

Who cares what he says.

Don't need parenting and/or medical advice from AC Slater.

Why doesn’t he go back to Mexico?

It's called loving your kids no matter what.

Holy cow!!! A celebrity said something rational and rejects the social engineering of the controllers and their functionaries in the government and the establishment media whose objective is to weaken their subjects.

Who knew ACSlater was as smart as this bro was ever going to be?

Buh bye Mario!

FFS! What Next?!!!

georgelopez

People who talk like this are simply terrified. I was going to state that I hope his kids never have to ask him for support with transgender issues... but maybe THAT will allow him to see things clearly.

MarioLopezExtra if anything happens to you, if you get attacked physically, if you lose your job, get a great lawyer who specializes in defamation and first amendment and sue Newsweek to the hell they deserve.

Can Mario get *extra* cancelled?

Because unconditional parental love is overrated🙄

Ignorant

It's more dangerous for parents to support childhood acting careers. I mean just look at what we have to deal with thanks to Mario Lopez's parents' support.

By MarioLopezExtra you had a good run!

He's right

I think what's more dangerous is the constant misunderstanding between communities. People are people and society is now different so we need to be aware & respectful socially.

It's dangerous to support and encourage this mental illness.

Faux controversy. I think this country already has its hands full. Mario and everyone should stfu about this.

Who? Why do you give him the time of day hasbeen

Incoming leftist mob

Shut up Slater.

My children are left handed. I never tried to make them right handed. I want them to be happy being who they were born to be. He should watch PoseOnFX.

Are we really taking anything AC Slater says seriously? Though if you read the article, he’s right about this when referring to 3 & 4 year olds.

Lol that’s not even what he said, but for fakenews it’s a attention getting headline. If your child has a mental illness, you get them help, not feed into a delusion. All the surgery and drugs in the world cannot change biological gender.

Let kids, be kids.

Leave him alone.

Hey Mario, gender identity has nothing to do with sexuality.

Explain suicide from the LGBTQ community to hm please!

Mario who?

Mario Lopez: It's 'dangerous' for parents to support transgender kidsTelevision personality Mario Lopez spoke to conservative talk show host Candace Owens about the 'dangerous' practice of parents supporting the decisions of transgender children. It's exponentially more dangerous for parents to not support them. Clearly he has no idea what he's talking about. NOT supporting trans children is what's dangerous. That's because he takes his weekly guidance from people like these so called Christians 😣😕😑😮
