Dwayne Wade may be a tall, beefy former NBA'er, but the baller is ALL heart (and brains). He sat down with Ellen DeGeneres to discuss his 12-year-old's gender identity and to say he and wife Gabrielle Union are PROUD parents of a child in the LGBT community. He says it's his job as a parent to "listen and to ... give the best feedback he can."

Wade said, "[She] said, ‘Hey, so I want to talk to you guys. I think going forward, I’m ready to live my truth. And I want to be referenced as she and her. I would love for you guys to call me Zaya.' Now it’s our job to one, go out and get information, to reach out to every relationship that we have.'"

He went on to explain how he reacted to his daughter's coming out. He told her: "You are a leader. You are a leader, and this is an opportunity to allow you to be a voice. Right now it’s through us because she’s 12-years-old, but eventually it will be through her."

Props to these AMAZING parents. Wish everyone could be so right.
