Marlon Wayans, known for his roles in popular comedies such as "White Chicks" and "Scary Movie," is using his platform to celebrate Pride Month in a meaningful way. In honor of his transgender son Kai, the actor recently did a photo shoot where he proudly sported a Pride flag and shared the images on Instagram on June 14.
In the photos, Wayans can be seen wearing silver pants, white Nikes with silver bubbled laces, and a rainbow face mask. He wanted to make it clear that his message was one of love and support for the LGBTQ+ community, despite any potential backlash he may receive.
Although Wayans identifies as straight and cisgender, he wanted to use his platform to express his unwavering support for his son and the LGBTQ+ community as a whole. In his caption, he wrote, "As a father of a child in the LGBTQ+ community, I show my support. Zero fu*ks what people think."
However, as expected, Wayans did receive some negative comments and backlash for his post. But instead of backing down, he defiantly shared more photos from the shoot and called out the "hate mongers" who were trying to bring him down. He even proudly proclaimed, "I can do this shit ALL DAY...but instead I think I'll do it ALL MONTH. Happy Pride!"
Wayans also made sure to promote his latest comedy special, "Good Grief," in each of his captions. He even shared a screenshot of an explicit response he gave to a critic who told him he "failed as a father." Wayans clapped back, "I'm not regular...don't come for me. Just quietly unfollow and fu*k off."
His powerful message of love and acceptance for his son and the LGBTQ+ community did not go unnoticed. In fact, it sparked a touching commentary by Ed Krassenstein, who praised Wayans for being a good parent and supporting his transgender son.
This isn't the first time Wayans has publicly shown his support for his son's transition. In a November 2023 appearance on The Breakfast Club, he proudly announced, "I have a daughter that transitioned into a son. My daughter Amai is now Kai."
It's heartwarming to see a father so openly and unapologetically support his child, no matter their gender identity. Wayans' actions serve as a reminder that being a good parent means loving and accepting your child for who they truly are. Bravo, Marlon Wayans.
