On his L.A radio show, Carson Daly, suggested gays are simply not brave enough to handle dangerous situations.
'Most of the people were on their way to some sort of security conference in Las Vegas, it was like a bunch of dudes and well trained dudes, thank god,' he said on air.
'With my luck, it would be like, 'this is the flight going to the [gay] pride parade in San Francisco. I mean, that would be my colleagues.'
Then, changing his voice to sound like a gay stereotype, Daly said, 'Uh, we're headed down to Vegas for the floral convention.'
Daly released a statement saying, 'This morning on my radio show I attempted to make fun of myself and offended others by mistake. I sincerely apologize.'
'We live in a time where gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender individuals find courage every day to overcome adversity, stand up to bullying and find equality. I’m truly saddened that my words today suggested otherwise,' Daly said in his statement.
'I’ve long been a supporter of gay and lesbian rights, and I’m saddened that my comments, however unintentional, offended anyone, specifically members of the LGBT community.'
'The fact that I have hurt anyone is devastating. I’m not that guy. I’m proud to be an ally of the LGBT community and will continue to fight with them.'
