Wil Wheaton has apologised for being homophobic as a young child, while condemning jokes made by comedian Dave Chappelle about trans people.
Wheaton also apologised to the people he had hurt in the past through his words, before turning his attention to Chappelle.
“One of the definitive comedy specials for me and my friends was Eddie Murphy’s Delirious, from 1983,” Wheaton wrote.
In a lengthy post on Facebook, the Star Trek actor wrote that he used to watch comedy shows as a child that he now recognises as being “dehumanising to gay men”.
