Dwyane Wade has chosen not to live in Florida because of the restrictive laws targeting the LGBTQ+ community.
The House also passed bills on gender-transition treatments, bathroom use and keeping children out of drag shows. The law's expansion would ban classroom instruction about sexual orientation and gender identity in all grades and not just up to the third grade.
Back in August 2022, Wade filed a petition on behalf of Zaya, who was born Zion Malachi Airamis Wade, to legally change her name and gender. After Zaya's mother filed an objection in court,in court saying,"Zaya should not be forced to put her life on hold while she waits for Siohvaughn [Funches-Wade] to acknowledge and accept her truth."
In February, a Los Angeles judge granted her official name and gender change request. When ET spoke to Wade andFrazer Harrison/WireImage], 'Say my name, say my name,' 'cause to some people it just feels like paperwork but to her it's her truth and it's her reality and we support that," Union said."Being in her orbit, you wanna catch up, you wanna keep up."
Union and Wade share 4-year-old daughter, Kaavia James. Wade is also father to 21-year-old son, Zaire, Zaya and 8-year-old son, Xavier. Prior to the judge granting Zaya's request, Wade had said in June 2022 at the TIME 100 summit that he"As blessed as it is for my daughter to have parents who can support her, I’m still afraid every moment she leaves the house," Dwyane told CNN at the time."And not just because of gun violence, but because of the way people perceive her in this world."This video is unavailable because we were unable to load a message from our sponsors.
