'Understand that you're the one that's got the issues.'
Dwyane Wade fires back at online trolls after comments about son
In an interview with"Smoke with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson," Wade shared that he has not allowed the preteen to give any public interviews, and as a result, feels an obligation to use his platform to preach equality and be an ally. "I had to look myself in the mirror when my son at the time was 3 years old and me and my wife [actress Gabrielle Union] started having conversations about us noticing that he wasn't on the boy vibe that [his elder child] Zaire was on. I had to look myself in the mirror and say, 'What if your son comes home and tell you he's gay? What are you gonna do? How are you gonna be?' How are you gonna act?' It ain't about him. He knows who he is. It's about you.
