LOS ANGELES -- Magic Johnson's 20-year-old son hit the Sunset Strip, hand in hand with his boyfriend ... and his parents couldn't be happier for their kid.

Earvin Johnson III -- aka E.J. -- is one of Magic's three kids. The Lakers legend tells TMZ, "Cookie and I love E.J. and support him in every way." Magic goes on, "We're very proud of him."

The feeling is mutual ... 'cause E.J. told us he's been "hoping and praying" for his dad's team, the Los Angeles Dodgers, ever since Magic and his business partners took over the franchise.

He's also a huge Lakers fan ... obviously.

We all have that one expensive item we wish to one day own before we sashay away from this glamorous world.

For some people, a pair of Prada shoes to wear in their Sunday’s best. For others, a couple of Hermes bangles for some luxurious arm candy. And though we may not have enough numbers in our bank accounts to splurge on these needs, we can still cross over and make our fantasy a reality.

I know I did.

Ever since the fashion gods cast their blessing upon me, I became obsessed over Chanel’s little black jacket.
