Adam Carrola adds to his long resume of offensive and prejudice/fear based outbursts with a new podcast where he went on a rant against people who are transsexual and transgender. He asked "When did we start giving a sh-- about these people?" He adds that the LGBT community should "shut up" about speaking out for equality because they are "ruining his life", when in reality, his fear and hate mongering is what is "ruining people's lives". He advised the LGBT coaltion to exchange the acronym LGBT ("Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender") for "YUCK.", again, the only thing "yuck" is Carolla's transphobia, homophobia and sexism.

Carolla recently just made his defintion of an apology: "I'm sorry my comments were hurtful. I'm a comedian, not a politician."
