Dwyane Wade explains decision to keep the ‘hate out’ of trans daughter’s life by turning off comments on social media

Former NBA superstar and all-around superdad Dwyane Wade discussed the family’s decision to turn off the comments on his 15-year-old daughter Zaya’s social media accounts.

Speaking on NBC’s “Today 3rd Hour” Friday morning, Wade was asked about a much-talked-about tweet he’d shared last week, in response to a person who wanted to send “hearts and cute comments on Zaya Wade’s IG posts” but wasn’t able to.

“As a member of her community, the LGBQ community, I wanna lift her up too!” @itsjulianking tweeted, tagging Wade and his wife, Gabrielle Union.
