Haters keep
taking shots at Dwyane Wade for supporting his son no matter what, and he just
keeps shutting them down.
Photos posted
over Thanksgiving by Gabrielle Union, Wade’s wife and her son’s stepmother,
showed the happy family posing together in a casual atmosphere. But Wade’s
12-year-old son, Zion, had manicured nails and was sporting what some thought
was a crop top t-shirt, so the internet police who feel very strongly about
establishing gender lanes for people to stay in obviously threw a hissy fit.
“So sad these
boys turning into girls…it hurts my heart [and] he’s young,” one Instagram user
moaned.
“Why are they
encouraging this at such a young age?” another demanded. “[It’s] one thing to
accept it but…damn.”
But the love
outshone the hate, and many, many people shared their appreciation of how Wade
and Union are supporting Zion. And Wade made it perfectly clear that he has no
intention of ever doing anything other than exactly that.
“As a parent,
my only goal is that my kids feel that I see them, love them and support them,”
he wrote.
Both Wade and
Union supported Zion as he attended Pride earlier this year,
an instance where Wade also took a moment to shut down people who felt it
necessary to voice their criticism about him letting his kid explore his
identity for himself.
“Once you
bring kids in this world, you have to become unselfish,” he told Variety at the time. “It’s my job
to be their role model, to be the voice in my kids lives to let them know you
can conquer the world and you have the support of your father…So go and be your
amazing self and we’re going to sit back and love you and support you along the
way.”
