NBA star Dwyane Wade spoke to Variety about why it was important for him to support his younger son attending a pride parade last spring.

In April, Wade’s then 11-year-old son Zion posted pictures of himself at Miami Pride....

“I don’t really talk about it much because it’s Zion’s story to tell,” Wade said to Variety during an interview...

Wade said he was surprised that his love for his son resulted in some backlash on social media. “This is my job as a father,” Wade said. “I’m very uneasy....

Wade is at Cannes Lions this week to speak about his recent advertising campaign with Anheuser-Busch’s Budweiser...

No right or wrong. 11 years old.

Glad to know D Wade is working with Anheuser Busch. I will be sure to avoid their stuff.

The local Miami media, by the way, is CHEERING this guy for allowing this 11 year old boy to apparently identify as a homosexual.

When they’re 3 years old and tell you they need to be surgically altered to be themselves, you’re supposed to make appointments with the specialists, drive them to the clinic, and hand them a teddy bear when it’s over. Parenting in the 21st century.

I sure don’t agree with Wade on faggotry

But his life story is pretty strong to be honest

Horrific upbringing

Overcame that

Titles religiously

And so on

And if you DON’T do those things, it is YOU who will be arrested and your kid taken away.

Just like Michael Douglas, I’m only a Heat fan due to Pat Riley. I’m almost sure that celebretarded liberal wife of his had something to do with it..

Wade said to Variety during an interview at Cannes Lions, the annual advertising conference in the South of France. “I think as a family, we should support each other. That’s our job. And my job as a father is to facilitate their lives and to support them and be behind them in whatever they want to do.”

Huh? What if he wants to be thief, arsonist, pedophile, or serial rapist? Hey it COULD be what he wants to do.

I’ll stick with:
Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

This is my job as a father,” Wade said.

Your job as a father, you schmuck, is to teach and lead.
Not to follow the corrupt society your son has chosen to embrace.

He's destroying his life at 11 years old, you idiot! Get in the fight!

“This is my job as a father,” Wade said.

Your job as a father is to bring your children up in the admonition of the Lord. They are on loan to you by God . . .He is the Sovereign Owner of the universe! You, sir, will have to answer for how you raise your son. “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God” (Romans 13:1).

Moral peacocking. They’re sacrificing their children’s sanity, safety and health for the false god of Social Justice / liberal politics invested with religious levels of devotion.

Liberal bullies are altering laws, regulations and professional codes of conduct so that you MUST go along with it.

In several states, the ONLY counseling a child with homosexual thoughts or gender confusion is endorsement of it. You aren’t allowed to try to change it, even if it is due to sexual molestation or child abuse.

They’ve pushed conservative psychologists out, because if you don’t agree to the social justice statements, you aren’t allowed to renew your professional license in some places.

Liberal bullies are weaponizing child protective services and pushing case law to use the power of the state to force their views on others. Does your autistic daughter wonder if she’s a boy because she doesn’t act like a stereotypical girl? Is your effeminate son being bullied and told he’s really girly, and he’s thinking he’s in love with his only friend? If you disagree with these “diagnoses”, you risk losing custody of your child to a family member who is politically correct. Or the kid is taken away altogether.

This IS happening.

D Wade, sorry, but did Zion tell you that he is gay? Now, not sure if he is or isn't (but IMHO it is the flavor of the decade), but you should tell him that you can go to a Pride parade when you are 21.

That said, if Zion is gay, it is between his parents and Zion, not us. It should be discussed in private, not in public.

This is the result of raising your kid in Miami vs Chicago (where Wade is originally from). Or, Magic raising his son EJ in LA vs Lansing/Detroit (where he is originally from). Sure, your kid will likely turn out fine, but the odds are much greater that he’ll turn out to be a mess.

My guess is that Wade's kid has been propagandized by the public school system. Without a Judeo-Christian moral foundation with which to discern, the little guy has been sucked in to evil.

How much longer will God allow this? Not sure, but perhaps this "forced vaccination" thing going around the United States is the Lord's hand in plucking our children out of the beast?.?
