Earlier this year Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union raised eyebrows after taking Dwyane's 12-year-old son Zion to celebrate his first Gay Pride parade [click here if you missed that].
Dwyane discusses supporting his son...
D Wade tells Variety,
“I don’t really talk about it much because it’s Zion’s story to tell. I think as a family, we should support each other. That’s our job. And my job as a father is to facilitate their lives and to support them and be behind them in whatever they want to do. My role is to support my kids and love my kids,”
“I’m very uneasy about accolades that come from supporting my kids or the negativity that comes with it. I’m doing what every parent should do. Once you bring kids into this world, you have to become unselfish. You’re not important anymore. Your kids become the most important thing. Your family becomes the most important thing,”
“I’m doing what I feel is right for my family and that’s to support my kids the same way if it’s a sport, or if they come home with great grades. It’s to big them up and let them know they can do anything in this world. I’m from the inner-city of Chicago and I wasn’t told that.”
Dwyane Wade was surprised that his love for his son resulted in some backlash on social media https://t.co/yk4kuCE3nA pic.twitter.com/KAWEmQjEGZ— Variety (@Variety) June 18, 2019
