“I didn’t know anything. I really wasn’t knowledgeable about the LGBTQ community,” Wade was quoted as saying by entertainment portal, Female First.
“What it has done is it opened my eyes and my ears to something greater and bigger than I, and my daughter has allowed us gracefully to be her support system,” he added.
