Dwyane Wade Uses ‘She’ Pronouns To Talk About Zion In New Interview DwyaneWade
“You want to talk about strength and courage? My 12-year-old has way more than I have,” he began.
Wade continued, “I had to look myself in the mirror when my son at the time was 3 years old and me and my wife started having conversations about us noticing that he wasn’t on the boy vibe that Zaire was on. And I had to look myself in the mirror and say, ‘What if your son come home and tells you he’s gay? What are you going to do? How are you going to be? How are you going to act? It ain’t about him. He knows who he is. It’s about you.
As the interview went on, Wade proudly shared, “I’ve watched my son from day one become into who she now eventually has come into. Nothing changes with my love.” This is the first time Wade has publicly used female pronouns to refer to Zion, but she’s been expressing herself publicly for a while. On Thanksgiving, after trolls started coming after a family photo that“Stupidity is apart of this world we live in—so i get it,” he wrote. “But here’s the thing—I’ve been chosen to lead my family not y’all. So we will continue to be us and support each other with pride, love & a smile!”Step-mom Union has also gone to bat for Zion.
If you ask us, this is the perfect example of how to parent in a world where we’re no longer erasing the existence of LGBTQ+ people. More of us could learn from Wade and Union’s example.
