#DaphneDorman “Dave loved my sister and is an LGBTQ ally,” Brandy added in a text to the outlet, referring to Daphne, who killed herself while under attack for sticking up for Chappelle over his earlier gags about the trans community. “His entire set was begging to end this very situation,” she said. The family of a late transgender comedian at the center of Dave Chappelle’s controversial new Netflix special threw their support behind him, saying he’s a misunderstood “LGBTQ ally.” Critics have panned Chappelle for cracking transphobic jokes in “The Closer,” which concludes with a segment dedicated to his late trans pal Daphne Dorman. But Dorman’s sisters Brandy and Becky are defending the Emmy-winning funnyman, with Brandy saying on Facebook that his “message was lost in translation,” The Daily Beast reported. https://nypost.com/2021/10/11/dave-chappelle-is-an-lgbtq-ally-family-of-late-trans-comedian/ https://www.instagram.com/p/CVk3DVbsHht/?utm_medium=tumblr
