In today’s heartwarming news, we have Gabrielle Union, Dwayne Wade, and Zion Wade.
This past weekend, Miami Pride took place and one 11-year-old boy is trending for getting support from his celebrity parents.
The Pride Festival happened in Miami Beach and is one of the biggest LGBTQ events in the USA. Last year, more than 145,000 people joined the event in celebration. This year, actress Gabrielle Union and family decided to participate. This includes her step-son Zion who is openly gay.
Twitter became abuzz after finding photos of Gabrielle Union, sons Zion and Zaire, and infant daughter Kaavia enjoying the Pride event. While father Dwayne Wade couldn’t join the group because of a basketball game in Toronto, he made multiple Instagram Story updates to commemorate the moment.

Dwayne Wade and Gabby Union supporting young Zion at Miami Pride is so beautiful, I could cry. I can’t imagine having had this type of support as a kid (or even young adult). Amazing example of living in and showing unconditional love 💕 pic.twitter.com/2cT8Ow6kik

Of course, there were several hateful commenters who responded negatively to these tweets, but let’s focus on the love and support. That’s what matters.
