Wayne Brady comes out as pansexual
Wayne Brady Five-time Emmy Award-winning and Grammy Award-nominated actor Wayne Brady this week came out as pansexual in an exclusive interview with People Magazine. “I’m pansexual,” Brady told writer Jason Sheeler during a recent interview at the actor and game show host’s home in a Malibu canyon. “In doing my research, both with myself and just with the world, I couldn’t say if I was bisexual, because I had to really see what that was, especially because I really have not gotten a chance to act on anything. “So, I came to pansexual because — and I know that I’m completely messing up the dictionary meaning — but to me, pan means being able to be attracted to anyone who identifies as gay, straight, bi, transsexual or non-binary,” he continued. “Being able to be attracted across the board.
And, I think, at least for me for right now, that is the proper place. “I took pan to mean that not only can I be attracted to any of these people or types physically, but I could be attracted to the person that is there.” Brady said the first person he came out to was his ex-wife, Mandie Taketa, and then to their daughter, Maile.
Taketa said her response was “‘Great,’ as I knew coming out would help him be happier.” Maile said she responded with “Ok.” Brady is currently filming a reality series with Maile, Taketa and her partner Jason Fordham and their 2-year-old, for whom Brady is considered a co-parent, according to the People exclusive.
The show is about their lives as a blended family. Read the full story and see exclusive photos online at People.com. — Tammye Nash The post Wayne Brady comes out as pansexual appeared first on Dallas Voice.
