Wayne Brady Details the 'Biggest Misconception' of Being Pansexual: 'Let Me Set You Straight' (Exclusive)

Wayne Brady spoke to PEOPLE at the 2024 GLAAD Media Awards on Thursday about the 'biggest misconception' of being pansexual, explaining that what it 'boils down' to is 'regardless of gender.'

At the time, he shared that Robin Williams' 2014 death deeply affected him and set him on a surprising path of self-discovery. In addition to doing therapy to try to understand why he wasn't feeling joy in certain aspects of his life and being treated for "love addiction," he found himself asking the question, "Wayne, um, are you gay?"
