Wayne Brady says that since coming out as pansexual, his DMs are “poppin'” and that he now receives eggplant emojis.
“You know what? Yes, my DMs are popping and it’s amazing,” Brady told E! News. “I’ve never gotten an eggplant in my inbox. It’s shocking. Much respect to women, I’m sorry, I know you feel when a random guy just goes, ‘Hey, I like you so much, I’ma show you my junk.’ Like, no bro, that isn’t necessarily the calling card that I want. But I’m flattered, thank you,” he explained.
Brady is hosting this year’s GLAAD Media Awards. He says he wants to create change.
“I wanted to inspire change. I’m so free, because even educating others about what it means to be a pansexual, I had to educate myself about what it means to be a pansexual,” he said. “What’s that journey? You ask yourself, ‘Wait, am I gay? Am I bi? Am I this? Am I attracted to her? To him? This is weird. Is that right?’ The answer is all the above. I am free to love any damn body that I want to. And with that knowledge and that freedom, I feel like an adult now.”
