Wade says Union reached out to the stars of Pose for guidance, to try to give their child “the best opportunity to be her best self” (via toofab)
"So when our child comes home with a question, when our child comes home with an issue, when our child comes home with anything, it's our job as parents to listen to that, to give them the best information that we can, the best feedback that we can," Dwyane told Ellen. "And that doesn't change because sexuality is now involved in it."
This is an incredible response from a parent when faced with something unknown like this. While many parents would jump to judgement or react based on their preconceived understandings of exactly what is going on, Dwyane and Gabrielle acknowledged that their knowledge was lacking in this area. Further, Dwyane sees this as a huge stepping stone for Zaya. As Ellen pointed out, with both of her parents being public figures, Zaya is going to have to go through this whole experience in the public eye. Dwyane sees it as Zaya being a leader for the LGBTQ+ community.
Dwyane credits those games with helping Kobe transition from a great basketball player into an ambassador for sports. "He was the first superstar that really embraced different generations," Dwyane said. "And I think from 2008 on, from the Olympics on, he really put his arms around us as competitors and the rest of the world, you saw him be much more involved in so many different sports.
