Dwyane Wade Explains Why He Moved His Family Out of Florida

etonline.com:

Dwyane Wade will do everything in his hands to protect his family, and that includes moving his family out of Florida. The NBA legend spoke Rachel Nichols for her Showtime series, in which Wade revealed that restrictive laws targeting the LGBTQ+ community — including his 15-year-old transgender daughter, Zaya -- proved to be the deciding factor to leave the state.«That's another reason why I don't live in that state,» said the three-time NBA champion in Thursday's show. «A lot of people don't know that.

I have to make decisions for my family, not just personal, individual decisions. Obviously, the taxes is great. Having Wade County is great.

But my family would not be accepted or feel comfortable there. And so that's one of the reasons why I don't live there.»Wade is no stranger to criticizing lawmakers who have passed laws denying trans youth access to gender-affirming medical care and blocking trans athletes from competing in school sports aligned with their gender identity.

The issue reached a boiling point just this month when, according to CBS News, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis once again targeted the LGBTQ+ community by expanding the so-called «Don't Say Gay» bill.A post shared by Zaya Wade (@zayawade)The House also passed bills on gender-transition treatments, bathroom use and keeping children out of drag shows.
