For Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union, love is love.
And for them, that love means supporting their 11-year-old son Zion Wade who appeared at the annual Miami Beach Pride March on Sunday.
The Miami Heat star, who was in Toronto playing the Raptures, sent his support via Instagram.
"We support each other with Pride," Wade wrote over a photo of his son and his wife.
According to NBC News, Zion and his stepmom were on a float during Sunday's LGBTQ pride festival. They were also joined by other family members such as his 17-year-old big brother, Zaire and baby sister Kaavia.
But thankfully, there were more people flocking to Twitter commending the parents for loving their child unconditionally and supporting their son for being who he is and living out loud. In addition, Black LGBTQ folks shared their own stories and stressed why it's important for Black parents to not turn their backs on their children for coming out.
I would love to interview Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union about their encouragement/support of Zion. I think it is important when they discuss Zion's story that they speak to someone of related intersections. Zion is celebrated by them. This is powerful.
I was just looking at the comments under that TheShadeRoom post about Dwayne Wade, Gabrielle Union, and their son at LGBT pride. There's a segment of heterosexual Black people that are so brainwashed, bigoted, and violent towards Black LGBT. Y'all are just awful. Whew.
I hope @itsgabrielleu & @DwyaneWade understand how important their public support for their son is!!! black queer youth deserve open and loving parents from the jump!! I'm tearing!!!
Seeing @DwyaneWade and his family supporting his young son Zion at a Pride parade is amazing, astonishing and astounding! That's real family love!
I didn't know Dwayne Wade son was gay. It's different to see black parents embracing their kids as they are. He's so young and the internet is cruel. Hope they continue to protect him.
I love how Dwayne Wade and the fam are supporting his son. That's what's up. That's how it's supposed to go. Good parenting always wins forreal.
What do y'all mean "gay already" In regards to Dwayne Wade's son? 😂 Gay ppl been telling y'all they born gay for centuries. Y'all just dense. Y'all really think being gay is something you can catch.
The @DwyaneWade @itsgabrielleu supports their son and don't feed into the hyper toxic masculinity rejection that a lot of black families experience, it's honestly so fulfilling. I Stan.
