They were also joined by other family members such as his 17-year-old big brother, Zaire and baby sister Kaavia. Zaire Wade shared his public support on Instagram for his younger brother, writing: “Love you lil bro no matter what.”   Just beautiful!

In addition, Black LGBTQ folks shared their own stories and stressed why it’s important for Black parents to not turn their backs on their children for coming out. Take a look:
