Happy Birthday, Marlon Wayans!
Wayans has addressed transphobia while defending his child, Kai.
In an interview with Variety, the actor said: "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."

Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto has signed a national defense policy that classifies the promotion of LGBTQ+ culture as a “nonmilitary threat” alongside illegal trafficking, natural resource theft, terrorism, atheism and radicalism.
Human Rights Watch says the policy has contributed to harassment and attacks against LGBTQ+ people.

We call on Indonesian authorities to urgently repeal its classification of the spread of LGBTQI+ culture as a 'non-military threat'. The forced removal of a scientifically backed online post that concluded homosexuality is not a mental disorder brought attention to the regulation, which places the spread of LGBTQI+ culture in the same category as terrorism, separatism and radicalism. Its removal sets a dangerous precedent of censorship and fortifies the harmful regulation itself.
