Dwyane Wade Moved His Beautiful Family Out of Florida Because of Anti-Trans Policies

Dwyane Wade—member of the iconic Miami Heat championship teams who is set to be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame this year—no longer lives in Florida because the state is targeting trans people, among others.

“That’s another reason I don’t live in the state. A lot of people don’t know that. I have to make decisions for my family, not just personal, individual decisions. Obviously, the taxes is great. Having Wade County is great,” Wade said in a new interview on Showtime’s Headliners, referencing the nickname given to Miami-Dade County during his Heat tenure. “But my family would not be accepted or feel comfortable there. So that’s one of the reasons why I don’t live there.”
