Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade have been vocal in their support of Zaya Wade, his 13-year-old trans daughter from a previous relationship. Unfortunately, their decision hasn’t gone over well with everyone.

In fact, Union shared in a recent interview that people have actually called her a witch and invited her to “sacrifice” the child. “There’s this notion that we can’t all exist as we are and for anyone of us to exist in any kind of different sort of way in all of our beauty and splendor and wonderful selves we should cast them out,” she noted.

Fortunately for Zaya, neither Gabrielle nor D-Wade have no intention of changing their minds or backing down from those who are prejudice. “We will never turn our back on our baby and we’re not going to turn our back on your baby either,” Gabrielle explained. “We’re always going to fight for the most marginalized. And if that takes more education for us then you have to humble yourself; ‘shush’ before you center yourself as an ally, we have to just keep doing that. And it’s not about our ego; it’s about safety.”
