Wayne Brady Comes Out as Pansexual: 'I'm Doing This for Me'
Wayne Brady Comes Out as Pansexual: 'I'm Doing This for Me'
Wayne Brady comes out as pansexual and opens up to PEOPLE about his long road to self-discovery and how his daughter and ex-wife are showing him acceptance
Is Wayne Brady gonna have to choke a bitch?
Only with their enthusiastic consent.
It’s me. Im the bitch.
Good for him. And good for lots of other people, probably. But we all kind of figured, right? That man flirts with everyone, with impressive sincerity.
It's clear he contains too much sexual energy to have a limited focus.
It's always so eye-opening to read about a larger-than-life personality like Brady considering themselves an introvert and being bullied in school. I am glad he got to a point where he is happy and can share his story.
The very first time I saw Brady on tv (circa 2000) I was watching whatever it was with my mom and we both presumed he was gay then and there. It was a little interesting just because there were so few evidently gay people on tv at the time in such prominent roles.
But yeah...
“Bisexual — with an open mind!”
seems about right too.I think (hope) that hundreds of years from now, most of the human species will achieve this higher form of love and acceptance. It's so silly to not freely love whom you love.
They seem like a lovely family :)
Also... looks like Redditors are starting to flood it here with their uber-insightful commentary.
Bah. Not my deal.
But you be your best you, and of course Wayne Brady should be his best him.
And everyone else is a Wayne Brady sexual. This works out.
Now him and Dave really got beef.
I already loved his character in HIMYM (James, Barney/NPH's gay brother) so much because of the trade in sexual orientation between the two actors and their characters. This makes it even better <3
I would never have guessed this, and yet I am also in no way surprised.
I don't think I've ever been surprised when someone came out, aside from a couple of friends when I was much younger.
good for him for feeling comfortable being authentic in the public eye. i'm still working on uncovering my True self.
Good for him. That said, he is the most low-energy game show host I have ever seen. When my daughter was first born, we didn't have much to do, so we would watch daytime TV and his hosting on Let's Make a Deal is just terrible (if he's still doing it). It sounded like he was bored and didn't want to be there every episode.
Sorry, I had to rant about Wayne Brady for a second.
Did you just call Wayne Brady a bitch??
No, no choking will be happening.
I wonder if it's just bad direction? Wayne Brady is one of the funniest people I've seen on TV - but I haven't seen him hosting anything. So it can't be him. It has to be someone directing him.
He has a certain energy. I'd call it smooth energy.
It's fantastic, but smooth energy doesn't work for game shows.
Agreed. He can sing jokes on the spot and dance anyone into a corner if left to his own devices. Bad acting isn’t coming from him. It would have to be stamped out by someone else
Yeah, he was really funny on Whose Line, but wow is he awful as a game show host. I don't know why, but he is terrible.
I saw one episode, but now that you mention it, yeah that's the vibe I got as well. It felt like he was trying to emulate Howie, but it might have just been really boring.
is the word removed banned? why am I seeing removed here often?
Edit: Seems you can't say b*tch. TIL.
Lemmy.ml has a word filter. Sign up somewhere else if you don't mind words.
oof. I don't mind words, any way to see if an instance doesn't ban them?
Wellllllllllllllllllllllllllll....
I wish he were "make more episodes of Let's Make a Deal"-sexual. Conversely, Drew Carey is quite punctual but sucks as a game show host.
Great article. Thank you for posting
In other news, the sky is blue XD. But also fuck yeah.
I actually had no idea. Not that it matters much...
Oh we didn't know. Just a meme that the man is an icon of openness. Was never official but seeing it written is just like a "oh yeah ofcourse"
Jesus this comment thread.
And also with you, my child.
(did I do that right?)
Peas be with you.
In the pan.
The sauce pan.
Bisexual.
Fancy bisexual.
Who?
Check out Whose Line Is It Anyway, both the original and the reboot. Great show!
First time hearing it, I had no idea (not American, for what is worth).
That's the guy who's gonna choke a bitch.
Why is it news that a 'celebrity' is identifying with the most celebrated people group in the U.S.?
As a person who belongs to “the most celebrated people group in the US”, I think it’s important for people like me to see ourselves represented in the world. We are a minority, so it’s noteworthy when a public figure comes out.
And idk man I don’t feel celebrated all that much in the US. Every week I see religious protestors outside the gay bar in my city with signs saying that I’m going to burn in hell for all eternity. I’ve been called a removed more times than I can count for simply holding another man’s hand while walking down the street. I’ve been fired from a job waiting tables because the manager saw my boyfriend pick me up.
Maybe your perspective, as someone who does not live every day of their life as a member of this community, is different. You might see the push to advocate for acceptance of LGBT+ people as “celebrating” them. It is not. It’s tolerance, and we still don’t even have that.
Man, I hate when people call me a "removed"
It's ok to use self referential slurs. They're our words 😌

I'm Filipino, I'd like to see more people 'like me' represented, but biden just cares about flying the pride flag and ignoring actual minorities
