Marlon Wayans says 'transitioning' as a parent was 'very painful' after daughter came out as trans

Actor and comedian Marlon Wayans discussed his transition as a parent after his eldest daughter Amai came out as transgender.

Wayans discussed his upcoming comedy special – potentially titled "Rainbow Child" or "Skittles," according to the New York Post – which is geared toward opening up about the change in his family, so he can help other parents going through similar situations. Taylor Penley is an associate editor with Fox News.

"I talk about the transition. Not his … their transition, but my transition as a parent, going from ignorance and denial to complete unconditional love and acceptance," he said.
