Marlon Wayans feels and shares love.

The 46-year-old congratulated his daughter Amai Wayans in a moving Instagram post celebrating the month of pride. Wayans posted a picture of Amai sitting in a backyard and the foreground of the photo shows the sole of a pair of vans, which is painted like a rainbow pride flag.

"Happy pride for my pride and joy," he wrote. "I would not change a foolish thing about you, I love you until the moon around the sun through the galaxies and vice versa."

The Wayans photo received over 89,000 "likes", as well as a large number of positive and negative comments about Amai's sexuality. While Gabrielle Union and La La AnthonyWayans applauds for his words, others feel differently.

One comment said, "She is not old enough to understand what really matters, you have the power to change lives, Brother, do not teach him that."

Wayans responded to this comment and defended his daughter and his life.

According to a screenshot taken by Comments By Celebs, he wrote: "She is 19. She is what she's up to so that she does not choose otherwise." -la for her, not what I want her to be. "

One of Wayans' supporters encouraged him to ignore the comments.

"I'm sure you can remove those negative comments," she wrote. "Let's keep it happy, why do some people have to be so wise, pray for them to drown in their own negativity."

The actor explained in his response that he wanted to keep the comments on his profile for a very important reason.

He wrote: "I have thought to erase them, but I need the entire world to see the ignorance that still exists." The goal without obstacles is a worthless triumph. all one day reach unconditional love.By thanks to my daughter, I am one step further.I am not God, I do not judge, I do not like that.And always pray for the enemies, because that I refuse to judge them too, I love them. "

Wayans shared several publications in the past that praise his daughter and family. She turned 19 on May 24 and wrote that her "purpose changed" after she was born.

"On May 24, 2000, I shot you from your mother's womb, held you in my arms and my world changed, my purpose changed, I did not live for myself anymore … I lived for you, for my family, for us, you gave me a goal, you made me tender, you made me communicate, you made me humble, you m & rdquo; I was careful, you made me listen, you made me grow, "he writes.

Wayans said in that same legend that he had often encouraged her to go in one direction but that she had challenged him and had gone off the other way.

"You have a strong spirit and you have always been," he said about his daughter. "I tried to make you a right-hander, you said" no, not left ". I tried to guide you right, you said" no, a gay & # 39 ;. I tried to ask things to be my way and you said "Why?"

The same day, he published a photo of him kissing his head and wrote, "This is your safe place, when the world gives you the chance to come here, come here and dad's arm and just be safe and loved. you have, always my baby. "

A number of celebrities spoke of Pride Month and showed their support for the LGBTQ community. Taylor Swift, for example, gave a colorful performance to 2019 Tango Wango Saturday while she was singing "ME!" in a fringed rainbow outfit. Earlier that day, she shared a photo of a letter she wrote to her senator encouraging her to vote for the Equality Act.

She said about LGBTQ discrimination: "That American citizens are denied employment or housing because of what they like or how they identify their places, is, in my opinion, anti American and cruel. "

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle also posted on the month of pride and paid tribute to Harry's mother Princess Diana and his advocacy work.
