Marlon Wayans isn’t phased by the haters in his comments on Instagram over the support he’s been showing for his son, Kai, during Pride Month. When he first shared a picture of himself with a Pride flag on the platform, several users criticized him in response. Tuesday morning, posing in a tub of rainbow-colored balls, he added: “Looking at my comments… i don’t think the haters got my message… HAPPY F*CKNG PRiDE BITCHES!!! I ain’t God so I don’t judge, I’m father, a friend and a damn loving human so i exercise my right to LOVE.”
Users continued to have mixed responses to the support for the LGBTQ+ community. One top comment comes from a user claiming they’ll never watch another one of his movies. Others voiced support for him continuing to speak up in the face of homophobic backlash.

Zero f*cks what people think. If i lost you… GOOD! Your hateful ass 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. HAPPY PRIDE to all my friends, fam, fans and loved ones. I am happy you’re happy… period.” Wayans previously revealed that Kai came out as trans during an appearance on The Breakfast Club, last year.
