Marlon Wayans has opened up about supporting his transgender son, Kai, 25, through his transition. Speaking to Variety, Wayans reflected on his journey from "denial to acceptance" when Kai transitioned, estimating it took him about a week to fully embrace his son's identity. "It taught me true, unconditional love," Wayans said. "I've never been married because I was never ready for marriage. And I went through this journey with my child, and it taught me to love unconditionally. At the end of the day, are my children happy? And if they're happy, then I'm happy for them." "My job as a father is to protect, respect and honour my children, and make sure they feel supported. It's not my job to judge them; it's my job to love them." Wayans, who has been outspoken in defending Kai, didn't hold back when addressing transphobia: "All of my kids are gifts, and our love is the wrapping paper. I'm not here for hate. Transphobia is a form of hate. Homophobia is a form of hate. Racism is a form of hate. All those small-hearted, small-minded people, there's a hell for you. And if you think you're gonna bully my child, go somewhere else. It's not going to happen. I won't stand for it." #marlonwayans #scarymovie #transgender #ally #lgbtqia
