引用在過去的一年中,小兒子Zion已經公開宣佈出櫃,並在去年Zion就穿著一雙高跟鞋參加了同性戀遊行活動。Dwyane Wade和他的妻子Gabrielle Union一直公開支持12歲的小兒子Zion Wade。當被Barnes問到小兒子Zion出櫃的問題時,Wade回答:「在我的小兒子三歲的時候,我照了一照鏡子。我和我的妻子開始就我們進行討論,因為我們注意到Zion沒有大兒子Zaire那般的男子氣概。我就在鏡子前面,對自己說『如果你的兒子告訴你他是同性戀者?你打算怎麼做?你該怎樣做?你該怎樣去面對?』不是他會怎樣做,因為他知道他自己是誰,而是關於你,你該怎樣做?」他表示他自己的內心交錯,更說自己是在「愚昧」中長大的,他必須依靠自己的妻子才能睜開自己的眼睛。
"I had to look myself in the mirror when my son at the time was 3 years old and me and my wife started having conversations about us noticing that he wasn't on the boy vibe that Zaire [Wade's other son] was on," Wade said.
"And, I had to look myself in the mirror and say, 'What if your son come home and tell you he's gay? What are you going to do? How are you going to be? How are you going to act? It ain't about him. He knows who he is. It's about you. Who are you?'"
引用Wade之後又表示:「我與很多人的觀點相同,帶點無知。我的成長也與之相似。而且,人生道路上所遇到的人會幫你摘下有色眼鏡,從不同的角度來看人生,對我來說就是我的妻子。所以,這很酷。」
"I grew up with the same perspective as a lot of these people out here that's a little ignorant. I grew up with a similar perspective," Wade says. "And, you meet people along the way that help you take those glasses off and put on some different ones. Look through life through a different lens. That's what my wife has been able to do. So, it's been cool."
Wade一直保護自己的兒子和家人免受別人的傷害,他告訴Matt Barnes和Stephen Jackson他有責任為其他無法以自己方式說出來的人發聲。
引用「人人都習慣了。這是新的常態。因此,如果有人不同,我們的角度就不同。你知道我在說什麼嗎?不理解的人,不懂的人,被困的人。你與眾不同。你想談談有關力量和勇氣嗎?我12歲的孩子比我擁有更多,你可以從你的孩子身上學到一些東西。」
"Everybody get used to it, man," Wade says. "This is the new normal. So if anybody different, we looked at as different. You know what I'm saying? The ones that don't understand it. The ones that don't get it. The ones that are stuck in a box. You're different. Not the people that are out here living their lives, man."
As for how his son is handling it all ... Wade said, "You want to talk about strength and courage? My 12-year-old has way more than I have."
"You can learn something from your kids."
