We moved to San Francisco, and it’s kind of part of being a global citizen.” The 46-year-old added, “People talk a lot about diversity and inclusion, but they don’t actually mean it. In our household, we mean that, and that’s why the entire household went to pride.” Bravo to Gabrielle and Dwyane for leading the way. We need to continue to amplify the voices of Black parents like them and encourage others to follow in their footsteps because our Black LGBTQ children need love and support.
