Dwyane Wade cites anti-LGBTQ sentiment for leaving Florida with family.
TL;DR Summary
Retired NBA star Dwyane Wade said his family left Florida due to the state's restrictive laws targeting LGBTQ+ people, which made them feel uncomfortable and not accepted. Wade's 15-year-old daughter, Zaya, came out as transgender in 2020. The state's "Don't Say Gay" legislation and a bill making it a felony to provide gender-affirming health care to transgender minors have been passed. Wade praised his father's parenting and said he tries to pass that on to his family.
