Class, today, we’ll learn the meaning of ‘Pansexual.’
Now I know most of us have probably never heard of the word, but thanks to this latest revelation from television host and actor, Wayne Brady, it appears that pansexuality is a thing. Let’s have Mr. Brady explain…
“I am pansexual,” the actor and TV host reveals to PEOPLE.
“To me, pan means being able to be attracted to anyone who identifies as gay, straight, bi, transsexual or non-binary. Being able to be attracted across the board. And, I think, at least for me for right now, that is the proper place,” Brady, 51, shares. 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.”
The prefix “pan-” means “all.” So, pansexual refers to those who are romantically, emotionally, and/or sexually attracted to all people regardless of their gender identity.
