Zaya Wade

The LGBTQ Nation Celebrity Activist of the Year honors the most effective and consistent use of the public spotlight for LGBTQ advocacy.

A little sibling rivalry between the trans teen and her brother, Zaire, turned into an impressive gymnastics routine.

“I know what the f*ck she did to them… I’m getting them prepared, man.”

“So many people … really truly feel like their kids are disposable. If they’re not perfect images of them, they’re not interested. And it’s heartbreaking,” Union told Ellen.

“I am a woman that loves men and appreciates masculinity. We need our men. We need our sons. We need our brothers.”

Zaya Wade has such a loving family… and it shows.

The Wades have put together a master class for future generations of fathers, brothers, and step-parents of how to be a supportive family to LGBTQ youth.

NBA star Dwyane Wade helped his young daughter come out to the world and basketball fans have embraced her.

Even before his daughter came out Wade asked himself: “What are you going to do with your child come home and say that I’m not a boy or that I’m a gay boy?”

Her dad Dwyane Wade has been supporting her in interviews and social media. The rest of her family is amazing as well.
