July 31, 2019, 5:19 PM UTCActor and television personality Mario Lopez is facing backlash for saying it’s “dangerous” for parents to support children who identify as transgender.
The father of three and co-host of the entertainment news program"Extra" made the comments during a June appearance on “The Candace Owens Show,” a PragerU YouTube series, but his comments only recently attracted attention on social media. During the 40-minute interview, Owens, a conservative commentator, noted that Lopez’s son has “boyish” interests, and that it struck her as “a weird trend” that some celebrities, likeOwens said that as a former nanny, she believes children do not possess the “mental authority” to express a gender identity different than the one they were assigned at birth and compared children claiming transgender identity to them pretending to be a superhero or a mermaid, a childhood act of make-believe.
“I’m kind of blown away, too,” Lopez responded. “I’m never one to tell anyone how to parent their kids, obviously, and I think if you come from a place of love, you really can’t go wrong, but at the same time, my God, if you're 3 years old and you’re saying you’re feeling a certain way or you think you’re a boy or a girl or whatever the case may be, I just think it's dangerous as a parent to make that determination.
Why do these sick homos try to force every one else to support and agree with their sick abomination. They pray on the fear and emotions of others to silence wisdom and free thinking.
Pedophiles must work at NBC if they wanna get rid of somebody who ISN'T a pervert PedoMonster
Another child star has been, looking to resurrect their career.
Agreed where is the issue? Oh I forgot news media trying to ruin another persons life with BS reporting!
And Mario Lopez is just a moron. Dude, what do you even DO for a living...
He said it about 3 year olds. Be honest.
1) Why Is this news and 2) who cares what ‘Slater’ thinks he’s a dumb jock.
It's called an opinion. Are people allowed that anymore?
This is NEWS Nothing more important happening anywhere else in the world?
He has no backbone if he apologized for that. But he’s in Hollywood, so go figure.
He retracted. Old news
Well bite my tongue...
Right right right right!!!!!!!!!!
Kids should be exposed to activities or toys of both genders. Their toddlers. Saying that, toys and activities chosen by toddlers should not be your cue to tell them who or what to be when an adult.
no lies detected. shame they forced him apologies for his opinion
Oh Mario . Can’t say that . That’s common sense . The left will call you intolerant 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Is he trying to get a job at Fox Spews?
soledadobrien Can’t believe people who listen to a television talking head who is obsessed with celebrity to gauge your own opinions on matters of such personal interest. America seems to be getting more stupid all the time.
We just watched someone commit social media suicide...
He's right! No child is a trans before puberty. It is simple child abuse and evil to assume otherwise!
I told my parents I wanted to be a ninja turtle. So I guess they should have shipped me to a Manhattan sewer and allowed me to live off pizza
That's not what he said. You people wonder why the citizens hate you this is why. You lie. You are the darkness democracy died in.
Agreed, Mario.
You’re late to the lynching. The trans mafia already forced him to recant upon penalty of career annihilation. Thought police bullied another person into silence.
It is stupid that Mario had to apologize for a truthful and correct comment. A little child does not know what he or she wants until a mature age. Parents should wait and see the development of their sons and not rush. A minority is trying to influence the rest of the world.
More lies. It’s disgusting what has become. They’re not news but instead agenda based propaganda.
Woke police incoming in 3..... 2...... 1...... 🚔🚨
K9boxing Going thru the comments everyone is using dolphins to make the “kids don’t know what they want at age three argument” it so funny if dolphin only knew how LIT they really are 🔥🔥
Nobody cares what he thinks.
Agree!
True
My 2yo thinks he’s a dinosaur. I don’t believe he is but if he says it, he MUST be correct, right? Do you know what kind of doctor I should take him to so he can begin the painstaking medical process of being a dinosaur? KidsAreKids MarioLopez DontPushAnySexualityOnKids
soledadobrien Nah, MarioLopezExtra. What’s dangerous is fefusing to see & accept children for who they are.
So. He's allowed to have an opinion. Everyone is.
Truth
soledadobrien Why is anyone listening to him? He’s not qualified to make that call. Has zero training. Tell him to keep quiet 🤫
soledadobrien Why are you retweeting this transphobic nonsense?
Personally, I always thought Mario was a little sweet.
soledadobrien He is right. Who let's a three year old make a decision? Parent your child.
Celebs thinking they’re smart is how we got Trump.
soledadobrien It's dangerous for someone who has no clue to share their ignorance with the world. It's par for the course that news outlets would give him that platform.
soledadobrien Mario educate yourself. You are clueless on trans kids.
When did so many ppl go insane? Of course a parent shouldn't decide the sex of their child. God already did. Knock this nonsense off. IStandWithMarioLopez
soledadobrien Why do you feel the need to report this?
michelle_ceo Idiot .
I know he's right. Remembered the old saying 'Kids say the darndest things'? You think at three or four, they really know what they want other than sweets and fries?
People who believe in the Bible agree with Lopez if you disagree with him you don't believe in the Bible
soledadobrien Clears throat: “Who?”
soledadobrien THATS NOT WHAT HE SAID
Haven’t you talked with gay people describing how they knew they were different at a young age? Talk about something you might know about. Otherwise it is just your opinion and who even asked. Unsolicited advice is rarely accepted graciously but rather seen as an attack.
He is absolutely correct.
Can he explain self immolation?
Stop it. That’s not what he said
soledadobrien Is there a reason why Mario Lopez's views on, well, anything, are newsworthy?
Slater got to pull back on the BOTOX
soledadobrien I feel blessed to have no clue as to who Mario Lopez is. Never heard of him and his sick opinions should not matter to anyone.
soledadobrien In what universe do I care what Mario thinks about anything, let alone a complex issue like this
soledadobrien As dangerous as the much higher suicide rates when parents don’t MarioLopezExtra ?
soledadobrien Mario who?
So he speaks like a normal person? That’s great, always like Mario.
Mario Lopez’ selfie disagrees
soledadobrien Funny how all these MAGA supporters are reading and commenting on stories from sources they call fake news.
soledadobrien Slater don't know shit
soledadobrien happy retirement mario!
soledadobrien Is he an anti-Vaxer too 🙄?
Put his sentence in context you dishonest hacks. He’s right, if your three year olds wants to be a mermaid, let him. Don’t assume he’s transgender and rush to the pediatrician. He’s three.
Sorry Slater that was a stupid comment.
That isn't what he said. Read the article .
soledadobrien Why is this considered news? I say thatits dangerous to support gop and realDonaldTrump every day and that doesn’t make headlines!
soledadobrien Why is a major news network giving him the platform? He has no knowledge or expertise in the subject. I have opinions on what shoes are best, doesn’t mean NBCnews should be sharing my opinions anymore than his
This Plastic Head Mind and Soul. Not the Human he could be .!..
soledadobrien I met a 4 year old that identified as an apple.
soledadobrien Just what we DON’T need ... a “B” list star (IF that)....offering their ‘expert’ advice on parenting. 🙄 People who agree with this nobody are the same who believe Jenny McCarthy and WebMD for medical advice. 🤦🏼♀️
soledadobrien Another quasi expert
soledadobrien Let’s quote Jenny McCarthy now, an autism expert. Oh wait, these are celebrities, not scientists. Why give him and his disinformation a platform? Other than a show host, what does he bring to this subject. You do a disservice to all of us.
soledadobrien I think you should support your kids through whatever they are dealing with. Regardless of where they find themselves at puberty lack of acceptance from the people you love & need the most, leaves long term scars.
soledadobrien Mario Lopez opinion should never matter.
soledadobrien The ignorance of most commenters here is breathtaking. Do your research on self-harm & suicides among trans kids & teens unable to live as their true selves. Show compassion for these kids, one of whom is my teen niece who’s been allowed to live her truth. TransIsBeautiful 🏳️🌈
soledadobrien He's right! The looney left is not doing kids any favors letting them 'choose' their gender!!! I have never heard anything so fucking ludicrous!!!🤔
soledadobrien It's dangerous to subject young children to rigid, repressive, and demanding gender roles that don't take their personality and needs into account. But people have been doing just that for thousands of years. It'll be all right to try something progressive for once.
soledadobrien Oh brotherrrr
soledadobrien No one cares what Mario Lopez thinks.
Mind your business and your own kids.
Way to misrepresent what he said but he’s exactly right.
He's right.
Yea mm-hmm, when I need to research a complex family and social issue, I know I can count on the expertise of Mario Lopez 😄
Ridiculous. My kid said he wanted to be a choochoo train, so we’re having him converted into a train. He gets his wheels next Wednesday.
Opinions are not facts. Opinions are not facts. Opinions are not facts. Opinions are not facts. Opinions are not facts. Opinions are not facts. Opinions are not facts. Opinions are not facts. Opinions are not facts. Opinions are not facts. Opinions are not facts. Opinions are no
It’s also dangerous for him to have all that plastic surgery on his face
Agreed !
He is totally correct in his statement it’s just to bad they made him issue an apology. I understand. He was trying to save his job/career. Anyone with half a brain should realize this. If you were making his type of money I’m sure you would say just about anything.
I support him. it's wrong and should be illegal to pervert children.
He said 3 yr olds, not all kids. Even though facilitating life altering changes for a child because they feel differently at a young age, is harmful!
Leave the man democrats are crazy.
Imagine thinking he's wrong about this.
MarioLopezExtra is 100% right!
He is 100% right. And no sane person can disagree with what he said if you actually watch and listen to exactly what he said. (He was talking about 3 year olds)
The attacks on Mario Lopez are a part of the pro-pedophile agenda. The sick leftists are slowly trying to change the way people view kids in order to desensitize the public to the idea of having sex with kids. Americans are falling for it because they're too pussy to speak up.
It's like people with Vegan cats. It says more about the owners. Or more closely, mothers with Munchausen syndrome by proxy to be more specific.
It’s more dangerous to allow your kids to be influenced by bigots and homophobes. Who is MarioLopez anyways?
I fully support Lopez on his views. But then why back track? I also believe that as a small child they are too young to know the difference. Let them grow up and when they are ready, they can choose whichever path suits them.
He's not wrong.
I thought Mario Lopez was gay this whole time
wake up world
THESE SICK PERVERTED PARENTS SHOULD BE LOCKED UP AND NEVER ALLOWED AROUND CHILDREN EVER AGAIN!! THIS IS DISTURBING!
ErnestStewartjr And what does a boy who wears makeup every day know about THAT?
Huh?
Fake news. He did not say it was dangerous for parents to support their children. At least tell a lie you can get away with, NBC/Vox.
clown world
What studies does he have to support this? Just because he mario lopez doesn’t mean jack 💩
It is dangerous and I'm glad he said something about it. He shouldn't have been forced to apologize for telling the truth. It's sick and disgusting to tell a child to be transgender. He has a right under our constitution to free speech. If someone doesn't like it, ph well!
He was correct. Shame he caved to the fauxrage mob.
He is dead right!!! Kids dont know there arse from their elbow at that age!!
💯 Let kids be kids and not pawns of socio-political expediency.
I support LGBT+ rights. But I have some doubts when it comes to teaching them academically about homosexuality. I mean how is it natural or makes sense? We can respect people for their decision, but making an unnatural thing normal is where my doubt is.
when your just a kid without questioning or analyzing your parents are the norm whatever gender whatever there personality its not until later in life when kids and society look back they learn and judge
Stop tweeting this. He got raked over the coals and apologized because he was wrong. Stop stoking the flames of all these bigots replying to your repeated tweets about it.
Who gives a frog’s fat ass what MarioLopez has to say about anything?
MSM is complicit in an effort to sexualize children.
I stand with Mario!
should be child abuse
There was nothing to say sorry for. He's caved to the left and the industry, so he doesn't get blacklisted mariolopez ACSlater
He specifically said 3 year olds, toddlers, children, now tell us how that's wrong?
WRF?
He's 100% correct
I oft listen to parenting advice from D list celebrities.
Trying to be hated? Sick of being accused of being moderately intelligent? Why not say some dumber shit?
KilroyActual Sorry , your headlines are not trustworthy.
He’s hoping this blows over like how he used his position in beauty pageants to sleep with girls.
Truth
He was not incorrect. Kids are all over the place when they are young. Best to just let them develop in a positive, joyful environment.
I agree - like many things, best to wait to they are adults
Stick with your beliefs as long as they're sensible, MarioLopezExtra. The world is going crazy but you don't have to go with it.
Fill there mind with healthier Soundmindedness . Get them there born hormones injections to balance , transform to healthy adults
Well, they're just what they are. Why not support it?.
oh snap is he an asian figure skater now
He should lay off the Botox
This is totally not what he said. Stop this practice of smearing people who dont support ur media.
I agree with him
Support don’t label
He’s right
How dare , I repeat how dare he express his opinion ! The audacity .
He is absolutely right.. MarioLopezExtra
Since when does anyone care wtf Mario Lopez about anything?
Get MarioLopez off the air!
Mario Lopez needs to just sit there and look pretty.
This is a slanderous lie. Why does support child sexual abuse?
It’s “dangerous” to have an opinion. Run at me! 👋🏽
This makes me so fucking sick.
Nope. Teach your kids critical thinking and how to be themselves.
Lopez is a Cheese dick now and forever!!
He's right
Is he wearing make up?
Children should not be changing their genders its a ridiculous idea by crazed maniacs . Support your kid as a gay or lesbian kid until after they are done with puberty around 18 years old. Otherwise u should be liable to be sued by that child when he or she wants to go back n cnt
Every kid is different.
FakeNews
Apparently - world says, it is 'dangerous' for people to support NBC News : 'You're just a click bait'.
Its pathetic that Slater is still on tv....
Shush, Mario.
Um...who is Mario Lopez Come on
That’s not actually what he said. This is why people don’t trust news sources anymore.
Just keep in mind that our celebrity culture attributes intelligence to toomany people just cause they are on TV- remember Trump is prez because of reality TV show.
My child was 3 she thought she could fly. Brain development isn't a joke. Because your baby is rapidly creating and pruning out synapses, this is a critical period for learning things. It also means that without practice, certain skills will disappear.
His right!
As a child gender was not an issue ...i played ,ran and fought with girls as if they were the same as I...I was a boy in the middle of two sisters
Mario kart Lopez
He is damn right.
Lol, Even Hollywood is fed up with the democratic agenda, sorry Lopez no more movies for you.
I don't get it, what's wrong with what he said? A 3yo doesn't know what cutlery is and will eat spaghetti with their bare hands let alone understand what sexuality is
Perhaps, but I knew when I was 4 yrs old and STILL know at 60. But I'm JUST realizing that I can do something about it and am doing so. So bug off, Mario.
He has a right to his own opinion. Famous people are allowed to have them too!
Typical NBC BS! That’s not what he said at all! And he’s correct 100%!
I think your playing with the truth here a whole lot.
This is 🇺🇸 and he is entitled and protected under the 1A to his own opinion.
Everyone please pray for Mario tonight cause you know the Devil and his minions are working overtime to punish Mario and the truth.
I agree with Mario..
Based.
Your headline is a complete mischaracterization of his words. It is a lie. It doesn’t match the very quotation of his you put in the report. This is why we despise you. FakeNews
Agree with Mario Lopez
I believe they should publish some Child Psychologist's and Doctor's advice, rather than Child Stars and Celebrity opinions. Especially on a subject like this.
He did not. FakeNews as usual
Correct.
He is right.
You don't know you're transgender until after puberty. It's child abuse to encourage ANYTHING before that!
Better question is why was he doing an interview with Candace Owens? Don't give her any attention. She doesn't deserve it. She's desperate for anything she can get
God made you one way, don't change it.!!!
The media are so dishonest... no one should believe this deliberately misleading bs. He was talking about children at 3 years old!!! You think that would be important to throw in there....
I felt the same until I watch a documentary that showed kids suffering by not being acknowledged as a girl vs. boy. Even at that age, they just knew. Some know later. Many opinions here are based on conjecture. You can’t live your life based on what Mario Lopez says.
Ok, this has gone to far. In MY “opinion” No apology needed. You expressed an opinion, it’s not as if Mario Lopez was being hateful or disrespectful.
He's 100 percent right. The mUh LiBeRaL fEeLs! is destroying society.
And MarioLopezExtra is correct about that as was OwenComedy it’s time to put a stop to this type of CHILD ABUSE.
My2centz_1 He’s already succumbed to the liberal Hollywood mob.
Mario is one of the last remaining intelligent ones left west of the AZ state line
shameonmariolopez especially hanging out with this racist Owens!
there are no lies here. How is a 3 year old supposed to know? smh
He’s right.
Absolutely
Yep
Has he always known that he was useless from the start? Also he kinda looks a little feminine. Why doesnt he just admit it already? It's fine, in this generation where we support LGBTQ no one will shame him.
No wonder no one watches you!! You could specify the “kid” is 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's dangerous to listen to Hollywood celebrities instead of medical experts. They've advocated everything from anti-vaccination to colon cleansing to vaginal steaming - none of it healthy or medically sound.
People Hate hearing the truth.
That's not really what he said. And the topic was three year olds. And the right is now saying you're for transitioning three year olds. Good job, morons.
No one cares what he thinks. He has no expertise.
He's 100 MILLION PERCENT RIGHT!!!!!! WHOM EVER DON'T LIKE HIS AND MY VIEWS, THEN OH WELL. JUST THINK ABOUT WHAT YOUR DOING TO UNDER AGE CHILDREN YOUR OWN, HOW SAD DON'T EVEN HAVE A CHANCE TO GROW UP FIRST. IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL UNTIL THE CHILD IS 18 PLUS. MOVINGTOFASTSTOP
do better, way better. This is why you’re called ‘fake’ news.
All he actually said, it's dangerous for parents to let three year olds decide what they are. Which in a sane, rational world wouldn't even be a question. Your misleading headline is designed to punish him for going against ridiculous, destructive 'progressive' gospel I guess.
Where's the lie? Also I want his Botox doctor's number, because..amazing preservation.
This is true
He's right, and your headline is weasely and typically dishonest.
Xx_Exclusive_xX 😐
What he said is true whether he retracted it or not.. guidance and prayers are what’s needed
What experts? Who is the expert on whether or not to lop off your children's genitals?
Mario Lopez says,”I want to ruin my career, immediately!”
He is absolutely right..
hes fucking right
3 year olds cant decide if they shit themselves
He’s right
Mario has no idea what he’s talking about.
It's OK to have your own opinions, you don't have to apologize Mario
MarioLopezExtra is not wrong and has a right to his opinion and I personally agree with him
He’s right.
He's correct. It's insanity
He's absolutely right! And, everyone in his right mind knows it.
NBC says all 3 yr old children should be allowed to do whatever they want... play in traffic, run with scissors, drink rat poison found under the sink etc. Because 3 yr olds know EXACTLY what they are doing.
WTF?
MarioLopez should be seen, not heard.
Yeah supporting your child, ensuring their happiness and self acceptance is wrong. What we should do is bully them into being something they are not and encourage their self harm and suicide attempts. Maybe try it with gay people also. 🙄 Or we could not give bigots airtime
We had training in our school district -children have their gender identity by age 2. Maybe he should stick to asking celebs “What are you wearing?”
3 year old girls wants to wear pants: “sure thing, hon” 3 year d boy wants to wear a dress: “OOOh MY GAwd Librul AGEnDa!!1!”
Iamwhitneyblack Mario is right.
He’s correct.
He’s right. But of course the loony left attacks him.
Can a 3 year old decide what time he/she is going bed? If you’ve answered, No, then MarioLopezExtra is right.
Bravo, Mario! Not safe to make that statement! But he’s right on point!
He’s totally right. These overpaid nuts who have kids in Hollywood changing the kids identity wheither they like it or not.... they should go to jail!
Why the fuck is there protest about this again
Many parents regret what gender they were blessed with and want to change the child so they get what they wanted. It's criminal
Who the hell asked for an apology? He was correct
Click bait
Mario who?
Lets be real - he's 100% spot on. The ONLY reason this is 'controversial' is because Liberals are perpetually offended and because he was on Candace Owens' podcast, whom they despise.
LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder
Wrong. Google gay male, female brain. Gays are born with the opposite gender brain structure. Everyone is not straight, people and homosexuality is opposite of heterosexuality and is just as normal.
Wrong. Google gay male, female brain. Gays are born with the opposite gender brain structure. Everyone is not straight, people and homosexuality is opposite of heterosexuality and is just as normal.
That is not what he said, why are you lying to people?
Common sense statement. Stop trying to make something out of nothing.
He’s absolutely right. Kids can’t make big decisions, yet they can change their bodies. Really?
He’s right
IStandWithMarioLopez
Not what he said, but hey the truth doesn’t sell!
You got that right kids don’t know about that shit and some of these screwy parents are pushing them in the wrong direction. Just to have a identity.
He's right, kids don't know what they want to be one day to the next. At some pt they will but not when they are truly kids. But hey, let parents have their agenda... it's all about the parents... I... I... mean... the kids. Right? Right.
He is right!
Mario is an expert in the fieldor what?
I’m Mario’s side 💯 and I’d say don’t confuse that kid , look at a deferent perspective think of a truck if it was made to take gasoline instead Diesel what are you going to use, you’re going to use gas it’s going to run better , instead of Diesel.DUH
CriticaSinMiedo And then he apologized.... to the mob
What a pathetic headline, meant to act like he is intolerant, how about he doesn't support life altering decisions by 3 year olds. Oh, not as supportive of the progressive agenda when you say it that way.
The wording is tricky. Parents should always 'support' their children, but it's ridiculous to encourage children to gender identify one way or the other at such a young age.
Kids need to be kids and not caught up in this. He said how he felt and pressured by MSM to try and change his mind or else suffer their wrath!
Huh, is he transgender? What the heck is he talking about? Transgender kids especially need their parent’s support.
He's right. And he made a huge mistake apologizing.
This is news when Democrats control the media .
He can say whatever he wants. Now in the US, people have to think twice to be honest. People got to lie and pretend and say what others what them to say. What the f---k is going on? It seems that the system is making a great effort to rot society.
If I wanted to hear AC Slater's opinion I'd watch Saved By the Bell. K, thanks, bye
That’s why you support them, bcuz “you’re just a kid”. They have feeling and ideas they don’t understand and they need you to help them sort it out. You can’t just poo-poo those feeling away. That’ll make your kid more confused and isolated.
Can we get him off the air? That’s not acceptable!
Way to misconstrue the headline. He was referring to a 3 year old. Sorry, but a 3 year old isn't old enough to make those decisions yet. There is nothing wrong with saying that either.
Absolutely click baited 🙄
The candy crush guy gives advise on transgender issues now... 😂
I agree. They need lots of support, but we need to make sure they know exactly what the future brings post that decision.
I mean there cases and cases... as a parent you.need to make careful decisions.... tgey are all complicated i wouldn't generalize..
Another reason not to watch that show.
This man spittin' straight facts
Who in the Hell is Mario Lopez anyway?
My son use to enjoy nail polish, wearing pink tutus, makeup (played dress up with grandma), playing with his sister little baby dolls, and matchbox cars! My son enjoyed it until he was around 5! He was not transgender! He was having fun and being a kid!
That’s not what he said! He was talking about a 3 year old. Not kids in general. This is why people call you FakeNews
Mario was right until he had to back down to public opinion.
What are the parents suppose to do lock them in , what a bias judgement
If they love there kids they will go to hell for them no matter what anyone say the devil can be stop love will always over take evil
Of all people
WTF, so no support is less dangerous. That’s stupid.
Since Mario isn’t a child psychiatrist, his opinion doesn’t really count.
When keeping it real goes wrong
He is absolutely correct.
Who?
Absolutely correct! A celebrity speaking and thinking with common sense!
Just because your toddler can’t wipe their own ass doesn’t mean they don’t have a sense of gender and a sense of self. Give your tiny human some credit and some space to figure out who they are.
Dumb
He’s right. This trend is SICK.
MarioLopezExtra should educate himself before making blanket, judgmental comments on fundamental issues of identity. I’m sure HRC or glaad could help him be more understanding and compassionate!
Your parents supported you. And the best you did was some hack on a celebrity news show
Thank You Dr. Lopez! Now take yo FAKE ASS back under your ROCK!
Why is this news? WednesdayThoughts
Who cares
Who? And his opinion shared on a worthless webcast hosted by a crackpot matter because....why?
People should read the article! My goodness!
What’s dangerous is being a kid and having parents who don’t support you. Why would you even say something like this? Nothing is more important than being there for your kid. If doing that means you have to expand your understanding of gender, then you get to work doing that.
Yup, you can still be understanding but let them grow up, go through puberty. I when I was 10 I only cared about riding my bike and my skateboard, girls had cooties the last thought about was weather I was a boy or girl
Agreed
Life advice from A.C. Slater. Where can I find more?
So Mario Lopez is an expert because he was on some stupid tv show?
Why is this even news?
Bad parenting
This is news........?
In all fairness, he never said what your headline insinuates. MarioLopezExtra
RiP journalism
'D-List Celebrity Says Something Dumb' does not require its own news story.
Do any of you haters have a three-year old? Let kids be kids!
You forgot to mention he said 3 year old
Everything he said is correct
Whoever does not agree with Mario are sick individuals. Sexual presence and gender needs to be thought once to maturity. Not as a 3 year old. Who disagrees?
It’s a shame that transgendered folks has a high incident of suicide. It’s a shame, That some transgendered people feel so desperate. And to those who say it’s a sin of God isn’t my God who loves everybody no matter what.
~ NBC spreading FAKE NEWS! Because that is not what he said. He never said it was dangerous for parents to support transgender children, period.
He is so right
He’s right!
Misleading headline and nothing he said sounds ridiculous ... 'News' these days huh Smh
Remember, he’s a protected class citizen, you cannot question him without being a racist.
It is dangerous and to make a huge story stating otherwise is just foolish
A. he's 100% right B. he specifically mentioned 3 years old C. stop catering to the mentally ill SJWs, NBC
Man did you cut a whole bunch of words out of that title that add context to this.
And of course he is an expert
NBC for you. Fake news. Not what he said. This is why you’re losing the people.
You,Mario, are just a moron.
Absolutely. It’s like letting them smoke. Or drink.
God forbid somebody has an opinion and doesn’t conform to what the DNC tells them to.
He is 💯 correct !!!!
He's just as afraid of books. Why would anyone think his opinion is relevant?
I'm a liberal and this isn't a big deal. He completely apologized. It's also a good discussion. Should you take the word of a 5 year old as to what gender they are? What if you go all in on their dicision and they change or never really were because you know they are fucking 5
perfectly sensible response. The left doesn't like 'sensible'...they want everyone to be loony so they don't stick out so much. Not happening people.
Nbc is fake news
He’s absolutely right. Kids cannot be sure exactly what their feelings mean. Some parents are so quick to put them in a category, “my sons trans or gay”, let them be kids and don’t come to conclusions until they’re old enough.
His is right
The voice of reason it’s about time!!!
Well he can fuck right off then.
I am glad I did not have to deal with this. But I believe it’s wrong. I do not believe that every kid in a school or at a park should have to deal with it. What I am saying is not hate but the truth. People should help there kids to understand there gender not find a new one.
Ahhh... The “saved by the bell“ prophet speaks. lol
MarioLopez shouldn't be telling others how they should be parenting their children.
i was today years old when i realized the nintendo game dr. mario was based on the life of mario lopez. wild
I've raised five 3 years old and wouldn't let any of them decide what they would or would not eat, yet our society is tell us this same population should pick their own gender? Makes no sense at all.
MarioLopezExtra
Why do I think there are two different meanings of “support” in play here?
He is absolutely right
Who is he, and why should I care what drivel falls out of his pie hole?
I totally agree but it’s not political as some think just common sense
Not newsworthy, what he said was right.
Not even close to what he actually said
Children can't even decide what color socks to wear and Democrats want to make a decision like thisj? Cuckcoo
Another fakenews headline. A gross mischaracterization that they know will send the attack dogs on him.
TwitterMoments and there reatnof the cyber bullies say:
When I was a kid I wanted to be a fireman. Thankfully my mom didn't surgically sew a firefighter helmet onto my head.
Who? Isn’t that the guy from Saved by the Bell? Maybe we should contact Screech for a 2nd opinion.
Oh Jesus
Amen
He is correct.
He is right.
Cancel AC Slater! 5 years old should be free to chop their genitals off and take harmone replacement drugs.
'experts'?
Who is Mario Lopez and why should I care what he says?
Agree.
Obviously he is completely right but the looney's on the left are outraged.
I say it's 'dangerous' to get your parenting advice from television's 'Slater.'
Who is Mario Lopez and why does anyone listen to what he has to say?
He is correct
He would be correct.
I would feel uneasy commenting on this subject publicly unless I had an advance degree or two in this area.
R.I.P his career, the unhinged left will tear it up
Amen Mario. Thank you
He’s right.
Good for him. Transgender is made up nonsense. You’re born male or female. Facts
He is absolutely correct.
Sorry NBC news, if you're trying to make me attack Mr. Lopez, you're nuts. He's right. Let a kid be a kid. They can decide who they are when they are adults. You know...ADULT, GROWN UP.
He's 100% right and he said 3 year old, might want to mention that in the tweet since the PC police only goes by title😉
Unbelievably FALSE headline. You have destroyed journalism. Disgusting
3 year old toddlers
Look who's talking
He is 100% RIGHT. Let him be. MarioLopezExtra onwithmario
It's also dangerous for people to be assholes, MarioLopezExtra
True➕🖤
I think it’s dangerous to take advice from a man who has had so much cosmetic surgery.
Perfectly sane position.
He's absolutely right 👌
There’s a difference between support and encourage, especially when it comes to a 3yo like Lopez was talking about.
More fake news from fake news NBC. He literally said at 3 years old. I'd love to argue with someone how he could possibly be wrong. Deranged
... AND he's right. That was easy.
*pop*
Yeeeesss obviously.... but based upon this headline I’m assuming you’re attempting to make this very normal person commonsense observation… Controversial… Which only further displays the lunacy of the Liberals... terrifying people. Insane and stupid. Tbh 🤷🏻♀️
I'm sorry, What? Mario, I think you need to stay out of the sun more during the taping of your show. It's affecting your judgement concerning minding your own business. And it's lining your plastic surgeons wallet too much Dude. .
He’s right
IStandWithMarioLopez he is talking about kids....would you let your 3 year old get a tattoo....take a body changing drug. NBC sucks!
One of the smarter people in Hollyweird
He's right and brave to said it .
Umm, context much? Jesus
there’s a reason you’re not considered an adult until you’re 18
See this is how fake news twists it up for their minions.
Fake outrage. What the heck does a 3 year old kid know?
Same thing could’ve said about child actors. Since so many grow up in unhealthy environments and tend to struggle in life. At least transgender kids make that choice on their own. Most kids get pushed into stardom by their attention seeking parents
Who?
The irony, considering MarioLopezExtra looks like he's one procedure away from becoming Maria! 🤷🏾♀️
Identifying as transgender refers to gender and gender ONLY. It is NOT telling of sexual orientation at any extent. People keep mixing the two up. MarioLopezExtra, take your half-ass support for the LGBTQ+ community some place else.
When a celebrity has an opinion, it’s news?
is twisting his words. Stop it.
Now own it Mario. Dont let them make you walk it back. You spoke truth now double down on it.
What's everybody in an uproar for? Ignore him. He'll go away.
What's dangerous is taking anything MarioLopezExtra says seriously. I mean really...The Saved by the Bell and Extra guy? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🖕
I love how you use one word to describe what he said. Use his whole quote. No wonder people don't have faith in the media.
It’s dangerous for Hollywood executives to give dipshits like Mario Lopez a platform for his ignorance and hate.
Who are these people Child actors turned into intolerant beasts.
He’s not wrong. I think that making a toddler identify their sexuality, is beyond absurd and should fall into the description of childabuse. Literally at three, they can’t even decide what color cup they want to drink juice from.
BREAKING: A celebrity has an opinion.
It's wrong for parents NOT to support their children. Kids know from a very young age who they are!
He’s right.
BRAVO, BRAVO & million more BRAVOs for you Mario Lopez...Exactly Right AND About Time Celebrity Speaks Out..These are just kids.!.AND Notice How LGBTQ & other Advocates ready to condemn you & Not OK For You To Say The Truth And What You Believe..Maybe Kids Can Be Saved By Bell..!
It's dangerous to inaccurately quote people for shock factor MarioLopez
who is “Mario Lopez”?
Well, Mario Lopez, I guess you can go shack up with ScottBaio and take turns boffing eachother.
How about you raise your kids and stay out of other families
He's not wrong.
Nothing he said was wrong.
Is it really that weird to say that a 3 year-old might not be equipped to understand gender dysphoria, even if they have it? Take them to a doctor, sure. Figure out what’s going on. But just taking them at their word with no thought given to talking to a specialist? Come on.
The liberals will turn on him.
His views are called 'damaging'? His opinion isn't hurting anyone. He says, “I’m never one to tell anyone how to parent their kids' - so why is this a big deal?
You guys are reaching so hard to make this news. What said is common sense
What about the other comments regarding women...?
Sad.
He gotta go! His biggest fear is having his children be gay or trans. I am curious to see if one of his children turn out gay or trans... What would he do?
I ask this question in all seriousness...does anyone anywhere in the world actually care what Mario Lopez thinks....about anything?
Same guy who cheated on his soon to be wife at his bachelor party wants to talk about family values.
I allways thought so too.
Im so tired of self promoting celebs chiming in on complex issues when they have no clue or basis for their comments and no one sought out their opinion.
Still misrepresenting what he said for outrage clicks. Sad. FakeNews
37.5% of LGBT commit suicide, WHY would want that for your Children!
‘Actor and television personality Mario Lopez’ & these credentials make him a subject matter expert on this how?
Yikes, that's an incredibly dishonest headline... 'if you're 3 years old and you’re saying you’re feeling a certain way or you think you’re a boy or a girl or whatever the case may be, I just think it's dangerous as a parent to make that determination.'
Classic example of a misleading headline. This is not what he says at all and everything he actually said is correct. It's hilarious/sad to see everyone go to their respective stations based on bullshit headlines.
Okay. You do what you think is right for your kids, Mario.
Is this even controversial? A 3yr old is not into sexuality. The parents actions are what is controversial.
Another misleading headline from MSM. Not surprised. Did he say it’s dangerous for parents to support their transgender children? NO.
Who is this guy?
Who cares what he thinks?
I think all of us at some point in our childhood question our sexuality. So I agree it is dangerous to go with a child 's sense of themselves at that age!!
Great journalism, MSNBC. Surely what Mario Lopez has to say is MUCH more important than something like a (Who Cares?) gigantic forest fire:
sorry but I'll have to agree with him on this one & no, I'm not against any race, religion or sexual preference!
All humans have the right now to decide and change their gender. But what’s alarming is when a 1-3 year old baby says im a boy or girl while defining their gender without actual life experience... actually live and then make the changes once you are older or have 100% decided
Kids are going to do some funny things. Some think they're wild animals, others super-heroes, some...a different gender. Kids are 'trying on' different personas trying to find THE one that fits them. Be a good parent: let them find themselves by supporting them as they search. ☺️
What do you do if your kid wants to be a cheeseball TV host?
Parents supporting their transgender children are fantastic parents. They are not hurting anyone. They are not the ones ramming their beliefs down our throats. I am so glad they love their children. I support them 100%..
Not sure I would agree I think in some cases it’s dangerous not to Support kids in this situation because there’s a risk of suicide attempts also there isA risk the kids will find the hormones that they need online which could be dangerous because The hormones can be wrong
Agreed
Mario’s words & turtleneck is dangerous. Not supporting a transgender child.
Treat your kid as the unique being they are.
Common sense will not be tolerated!
He’s still alive?🤔
Ooooh, Mario Lopez's views are damaging.
And he’s absolutely correct
If he doesn't like how I raise my child, he can go back where he came from.
It is dangerous to support them? What do you want? Them to kill themselves because they don't have their parents unconditional love and support?
I hear what u saying, MarioLopezExtra.
I don't give a flying fuck what Saved By the Bell thinks.
He should hook up with Dean Cain. A gig on fox is near?
I agree.
Kids have curiosity about sex and identity. To think they understand the complexity of this decision is failure of parenting.
