Marlon Wayans is clapping back at “hate mongers” after facing criticism for posting pics in support of the LGBTQ+ community.
The comedian made it clear that he plays no games when it comes to his transgender son, and his support of the rainbow flag wavers everywhere.
On Friday, June 14, the 51-year-old took to Instagram to post pictures from an LGBTQ+-themed photoshoot. The actor made four separate posts.
In the first, he wore a cap with a rainbow around the brim and draped a rainbow flag over his shoulder. The screenwriter captioned it, “Happy PRIDE to all my LGBTQ+ peoples.” Additionally, Marlon clarified that he was “straight” and simply showing love to the community. Some commenters left negative statements under his post, including one man, @mossimock, who wrote, “Lmao unfollow.”
A second post showed Wayans sitting on a floor with rainbow-colored balls surrounding him. In the caption, Marlon addressed the judgment social media was dishing out, writing, “Yeah and just for THE HATE MONGERS….I’m posting another.”
“As a father of a child in the LGBTQ+ community I show my support. Zero f**** what people think,” Marlon said.
He also gave those who said they were unfollowing the deuces. Marlon stated, “If I lost you… GOOD. Your hateful a*** never loved me in the first place. How can you love anyone when you’re too busy judging. Some of y’all funny. I’m a troll. I’ll post all day.”
He ended the message with, “HAPPY PRIDE to all my friends, fam, fans and loved ones. I am happy you’re happy… period.”
PEOPLE reported Marlon spoke about his oldest child becoming transgender on ‘The Breakfast Club’ in November 2023. He said, “I have a daughter that transitioned into a son. My daughter Amai is now Kai.”
@rockstardiva_ said, “I don’t know what this has to do with supporting your child.. especially when the child isn’t in the photo shoot.. strange world were living in.”
