Meet Richard Pryor Jr., as you can see he is a splitting image of his pops, he’s an actor, singer, comedian, and yes, he says he’s gay and proud of it. There are a lot of similarities between he and his Dad and this is what Richard Jr. had to say about the how his parents handled him confessing to them that he was gay:

Dad took it well, but Mom freaked out. She was like “Oh where did I go wrong?!!” She thought that it was her fault. I expected it to be the other way around. You always think that people don’t know, but then you tell them and they’re like “Well I already knew.”

So are you saying that your Dad already knew you were gay?
Oh God…how could he not know? One time I had picked up these two hitchhikers and my Mom caught them in the house when I wasn’t there…they were naked and when I got home my Mom called and said “Richard Jr. your Dad wants to speak to you!” Then my Dad just outright asked me, “Are you gay?” and I basically just cried & lied my way out of that one…LOL. This was before I came out, but he knew. I came out and then went back in [got married], and then came out again.

We, at ILOSM, like to look at the behavioral patterns of the greats of our past, and in doing that, we’ll often find that there’s a message and ultimately, a lesson to be learned from the great ones. So with that said, let’s take a look at Richard Sr. and Junior. We often hear Iyanla Vanzant speak about the common pathology patterns between parents and children…and in this case, do you think it’s possible that, based on the traumatic experiences Richard Pryor had to endure as a child, that he somehow unknowingly transferred those lessons/experiences onto Richard Pryor Jr. which could have led to him being gay? Talk to us ILOSM family.
