Dwyane Wade Says He Moved Family From Florida Due to Lack of Acceptance of Transgender Daughter

Wade's 15-year-old child Zaya came out as a transgender girl and he fought and won in court to legally change her name and gender.
Wade cited his family's comfort and acceptance as the reason for leaving Florida, despite the state's desirable tax benefits and his love for Miami.
Florida has passed legislation targeting the LGBTQ+ community, including laws banning the use of bathrooms other than one's sex assigned at birth and preventing children from watching drag shows.
Wade suggested that his family would not feel comfortable in Florida due to the legislation and lack of acceptance.
Wade sold his Miami residence in 2021 and now lives in Los Angeles County with his family, and is a minority owner of the Utah Jazz.
