Dwyane Wade‘s made no secret of his support for son Zion, even making headlines earlier this year for accompanying the 12-year-old to Miami Pride Month.
Said stance was reinforced over the weekend when the former Miami Heat player took to Twitter (November 30) to speak out against the “hate” his family has been receiving in response to Thanksgiving photos his wife, Gabrielle Union, posted in celebration of the holiday (seen above). After the actress shared the pic, commenters began weighing in on Zion’s pose, crop top, and gem-encrusted fingernails.
By Saturday, the basketball superstar had enough. Look inside to see his classy clap back:

Here comes the homophobic comments
But trust me, I’m gonna school yall real quick.
U know I dont allow bullshìt when it comes to the gays.
I guess no one cares! Maybe you can read someone on a different day.
Poor Lil boy look so weak he gonna get bullied all his life if he don’t toughen up looks soo soft
Not all gay men are soft you ignorant twat!
Can we conclude that celebrities are weird and aren’t actually who they say they are. They pose for family pictures to give the impression that they’re normal but the truth is that there several people who aren’t their parents raising them while their actual parents are working. It’s the only way to explain how the sons of hyper masculine athletes are less interested in basketball and more interested in Booty shorts.
Or people are just different. lol. Not everyone has nannies and yet their kids still turn out gay or transgender. So, your theory is unfounded.
@Count… – I agree.
I admire Dwade SO MUCH! His approach is what the blueprint should be and look like for a lot of father and son relationships in the predicament. He’s just an all around down to earth guy. As for this light weight backlash he’s getting in regards to his son, unfortunately it’s only the beginning. His son is definitely going to need him now and more than ever as he becomes a man. This logic is messed up in correlation to how people think but it’s our reality and all you can do is prepare yourself. Definitely keeping the family in my prayers.
??? all the love and support to this beautiful family
Doesn’t look like you LEAD anything D. Wade. Which PROBABLY the reason your son turned out the way he did.
