Marlon Wayans accused of promoting an LGBTQ+ “agenda” after supporting his son

Marlon Wayans has never been shy about showing her love for her transgender son, Kai, and it won’t stop anytime soon. During his appearance on the “We In Miami” podcast, the “White Chicks” actor opened up about his “natural instinct” to protect his child, vowing to support him despite what critics might say; However, while many commenters agreed with Wayans’ statement, others seemed frustrated with his stance, saying the actor was only there to promote an “agenda.”

On the “We In Miami” podcast, Wayans rejected the title of “spokesperson” for fathers of transgender children, insisting that it is his “natural instinct” to protect his 25-year-old son. “People can judge and say what they want, but at the end of the day, it’s my child,” he said.

“And I’m going to love my baby, no matter what anyone says, and he should be allowed to maintain his anonymity and enjoy his life exactly the way he wants.”

Wayans went on to say that he is not in the business of persuading his children to be something they are not through outdated and embarrassing methods. “You can’t cast someone out as gay. You can’t hypnotize someone into not being transgender. You have to accept them and love them,” he said.

Wayans began speaking out about her relationship with her trans son in 2024, explaining that it was difficult to accept it at first. However, after a week of reflection, Wayans came back to reality, saying his child is still worthy of love, regardless of how he identifies. “At the end of the day, in my heart, the only thing that matters to me is that my child is happy,” he said in a previous interview, according to The explosion.

Wayans then made headlines after sparking controversy with an LGBTQ+-inspired photoshoot in honor of Pride Month. “Happy PRIDE to all my LGBTQ+ peoples. Did a photoshoot with the great photographer @parrish_lewis dope pic. PS I’m STRAIGHT… Well according to my kid a CISGENRE man. I love and support my peoples,” he captioned the photo.

However, Wayans later revealed that he lost several supporters and followers due to his support of the queer community. One user even commented on his post: “Boy got his first L on a Friday morning,” while others vowed to unfollow the actor.

Social media users weighed in on Wayans’ recent statements regarding his desire to protect his son from hate, with one praising the actor for supporting his child in such a cruel world. “This is love. Fight and love one another,” they wrote. Other users also chimed in, calling the artist an “amazing father” and sharing their love for him. “Love your kids no matter what,” someone else wrote. “Marlon is the father of the century.”

Meanwhile, other commenters weren’t as positive, expressing disappointment with the “Don’t Be A Menace” star for promoting an “agenda.” One user wrote: “Bad dad and calling him legendary is wild. » Another user commented: “Shut up bitch.” Someone else posted: “The devil is coming [to] collect fame in Hollywood.

Wayans’ support for his child is unsurprising, as he has battled trolls and other celebrities for his stance in support of his son and the entire queer community. However, he is not bothered by the criticism and hesitant support. “I’m going to love my baby…I’m a father and I’m always going to defend him,” he said, according to The explosion. “I will always protect them. I will always respect them. And no one can ever say anything to me.” Wayans blasted the “petty” people who left him behind, saying they had only been replaced by “150” more positive supporters.

According to a report from ThemWayans had an explosive argument with rapper Soulja Boy online after the musician made careless comments about the actor’s son.
