I love how accepting and supportive @DwyaneWade and @itsgabrielleu are of their child transition. It’s so important to be true to yourself no matter what people think, say, or do. Zaya has wisdom beyond her age. I’m glad she’s happy and living for herself now.#LoveBeyondColor https://t.co/3QgpT6cMww

Zaya’s brother said “I’ve told you that I would lay my life down to make sure you are ten toes down and happy on this earth” pic.twitter.com/Jlu86e53m1

Zaya and Black kids like Zaya must be protected at all costs.

It costs you nothing to love a Black queer child, and if you can’t love a Black queer child you shouldn’t be having children.

Everyone can take lessons in parenting from Dwayne Wade and Gabrielle Union.

Wade is an especially important figure for us straight men to look to.

Congrats to Zaya on her decision and kudos to the family for demonstrating real love.

I love the parenting that @itsgabrielleu and Dwyane Wade are demonstrating in support of young Zaya and her truth. You love to see it.

PLEASE don't get your ass dragged today tryna be cute for clout behind Zaya. First and foremost, she is a child. Second, we ride hard for Gab because she rides hard for us. Third, you wouldn't dare pop off in DWade's face, so don't do it here.

You've been warned. pic.twitter.com/4m1v7IllHs

I've been thinking a lot about the Wade Family and their non conforming child, Zaya.@DwyaneWade has been so open about the love and support he is honored to give to Zaya.

It made me think about Black Men that support their Queer kids, & how I was lucky my Grampa supported me. pic.twitter.com/mbGQCIKerb

Shoutout to @DwyaneWade & @itsgabrielleu for refusing to deny themselves one of life’s greatest opportunities: learning from your own child. And an even bigger shoutout to Zaya for being courageous enough to lead them.

Hey, Zaya! We are all so proud of you. Your strength, intelligence, and conscientious worldview is impressive – thank you for being you!

I love everything about this:

I love @DwyaneWade and @itsgabrielleu’s pride for and protectiveness of Zaya.

I love Zaya’s spirit, maturity, matter of fact-ness, and her scrunchy.

And I absolutely love that they recorded this while they were out playing golf together. Perfect. https://t.co/1MvdxIgla7
