    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.

      If only they addressed that in the article…

      “I am pansexual,” he says, meaning that he is attracted to persons regardless of their sex or gender.
      Brady puts it another way: “Bisexual — with an open mind!” he says with a chuckle.

      Oh wait they did. Read the article.

        It really gets under my skin when folks frame bisexuality as bigoted pansexuality.

        Edit: I’m not saying he wasn’t making a lighthearted joke and I’m not even really saying he shouldn’t have said it. I’m just sad that for a lot of people this may be the first time they hear about pansexuality and assume it means that people who say they’re bi are transphobic, enbyphobic, or something else.
