Karl Stefanovic's Apology to LGBT Community

Imagine saying something mean to a well-respected community like the LGBT, that too on air when over thousands of people can listen to what you are saying! Pretty embarrassing, huh? Australian TV presenter Karl Stefanovic was famously hated by the Transgender community after he used the term "ignorant jibe".

However, he was man enough to come up with an apology which was as famous as his mistake. He said that he didn't mean to "offended an awful lot of beautiful, sensitive people." With the LGBT community getting their rights and acceptance in the community, you can't say anything bad about them; not in front of them at least. In his apology, Karl added, "Because I know trans people are fun-loving, life-celebrating people I actually assumed they might laugh along with me, I assumed wrong."

The famous award-winning reporter/ presenter was wrong in assuming that people would just laugh at the mean comments made on them. Talking to SMH website, he said: "I honestly didn't know the negative and deeply hurtful impact that word has, not only on members of the LGBTQI community but on their family and on their friends." Karl made an apology to the entire community by saying that he was a mean tool to say something horrible like that, and his apology was accepted as well as Praised by many people:
