Lopez received an enormous amount of pushback for his comments and apologized on Wednesday for what he described as an 'ignorant and insensitive' interview.
"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," the actor told Owens on her self-titled conservative YouTube show."But at the same time, my god, if you're three-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.
"I have been and always will be an ardent supporter of the LGBTQ community, and I am going to use this opportunity to better educate myself," a statement from Lopez reads."Moving forward I will be more informed and thoughtful." In the interview, Owens herself cast the issue as a"scary trend coming out of Hollywood right now," a framing that Lopez acceded to in his comments.
