Malik Yoba told his followers on social media over the weekend that he is attracted to transgender women. Malik Yoba made a lengthy Instagram post to address a tragedy regarding the suicide of a man who was bullied for his attraction to transgendered women. “I love ALL women AND count MYSELF among those that find themselves trans attracted and I too have felt the self imposed shame that comes with that truth but it’s time to speak up,” he captioned under a video of men bullying 20-year-old Maurice Willoughby for dating trans woman. Maurice’s story recently went viral after he killed himself via a drug overdose. “ATTENTION BLACK AND ALL MEN!!! THIS IS NOT OK!!!!! This video is another heartbreaking example of the homophobia, transphobia hatred and hypocrisy WE as black folks, BLACK MEN in particular have to NAME , FACE and CALL OUT and do the work to heal!!!” Malik wrote.
