'We would not be accepted or feel comfortable there': NBA legend Dwyane Wade reveals his family fled Florida because his transgender daughter no longer felt safe under the state's anti-LGBTQ policies
UK Daily Mail ^ | April 27 2023 | JAMES GORDON

Retired American professional basketball player Dwyane Wade, and three-time NBA champion, has revealed that he and his family have left the state of Florida due to what he says are restrictive policies that infringe on the rights of LGBTQ people.

Wade is a father of four, and in 2020 his 15-year-old daughter, Zaya, came out as transgender.

She has since legally changed her name and gender, with Wade being outspoken in his support of her. Zaya was born to Wade and his high school sweetheart Siohvaughn Funches in 2007.

I’m shocked!

This is the first Black Trannie I have seen.

I was under the impression that the lunatics who were encouraging the trans were only interested in White children.

Per Wikipedia:

Wade married his high school girlfriend Siohvaughn Funches in 2002. They split in 2007, and he divorced her in 2010 after an acrimonious court battle.[144] In 2011, Wade was granted sole custody of his two children.[145][146] Wade also raises a nephew, the son of Wade's sister Deanna.[147][148] Wade began dating actress Gabrielle Union in 2008.[149][150] According to Wade, he and Union briefly split up at some point early in 2013 due to career demands.[148] During that time, Wade and Aja Metoyer conceived a son.[151][152] Wade and Union became engaged in December 2013[153] and married on August 30, 2014, in Miami.[154] On November 7, 2018, Wade became a father for the fourth time, when he and Union welcomed their daughter, who was born via surrogate.[155] In 2020, Wade's 12-year-old child came out as a transgender girl and changed her name to Zaya.[156][157][158]

It looks like “Zaya” may have been conceived and born during a period of separation, and before the divorce of his parents.

So they were married at the time, but on the outs, on their way to a legal divorce..

Still wondering why the author used the term “high school sweetheart” but, whatever. Sad that things fell apart.

Could be they’re lazy and got their background for the story from Wikipedia.

Exactly …. If Florida doesnt want young kids to be taught about gay sex and be allowed to be castrated at 11 years old….. then maybe Florida isnt for Dwayne…. Perhaps california or washington state is better.

Man do I ever agree with you in theory. Practically it never can or will happen.

...restrictive policies that infringe on the rights of LGBTQ people.

And exactly what rights are those, please tell?

Are they rights that the rest of don't have?

What policies, and how are they restrictive?

Every state in the union is at Deep State’s mercy.

Every single state.

Don’t believe me?

Take at look at their budgets.

Divorce?

SNORT.

....Zaya Wade (born 29 May 2007...

I surprised she came out of the nightmare in one piece. Prolly had zero love and attention the first 10 years of her life

Not to mention the young lady choosing to make herself a walking sandwich board for some designer.

Yup, Florida is the least of their problems.
