Pride events are most fun when you have you have a big group around you who love and support you — and that's exactly what the Wade family did for son Zion during Miami's LGBTQ Pride Week in April.

On his Instagram Story, basketball star Dwayne Wade posted photos of his family rallying around son Zion during Miami's Pride events. Even though Dwayne himself wasn't at the event because of a basketball game, Gabrielle Union and Zion's siblings showed up to celebrate with him.

"We support each other with pride," Dwayne wrote on a picture he posted of Gabrielle and Zion together. Another post showed Zion and brother Zaire and said "It's a family thing." Another picture of a big group with Zion in the middle said "Zion had his on [sic] cheering section today. Wish I was there to see you smile kid!"

Zaire also took to social media to support his brother, posting a picture of them together and decked out in rainbow gear, saying "love you lil bro no matter what" and "gotcha back kid."

While the group was at the LGBTQ pride event, and according to Dwayne's posts they were there in support of Zion, the 11-year-old hasn't said publicly said how he identifies, and he doesn't ever have to if he doesn't want to. What's clear, however, is that his family supports him no matter what his sexual identity — something that's so important.

Research has shown that LGBTQ youth are 120% more likely to experience homelessness than their non-LGBTQ identifying counterparts. Family conflict, particularly rejection from family members, is the most common reason why young LGBTQ people find themselves experiencing homelessness. In fact, family rejection of LGBTQ youth has been linked to all kinds of negative health outcomes.

That's why seeing the Wade family support Zion, whatever his identity, is so heartwarming — and many have taken to Twitter to say just that.

What's most important is that Zion is being given the freedom to express himself — regardless of identity.
