Wayne admits one of the biggest things about coming out is no longer worrying about being blackmailed...

From Us Weekly

Wayne Brady is able to live freely since publicly coming out as pansexual — and he’s ready to celebrate his first Pride Month.

“I don’t give a f–k anymore,” Brady, 52, exclusively told Us Weekly at the Advocate + Out Pride cover launch party on Monday, June 3. “I no longer walk around with shame or fear of blackmail — and that’s the biggest thing.”

He continued, “I didn’t know how I would get past the hurdle of care. I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, if I say certain things, will I lose some of the audience that watches my shows, and that watch the daytime shows, and will I lose this?’”

"I actually care very much because I love my job. But if you can’t accept me as a person, then maybe my humor isn’t for you,” he said on Monday. “Maybe you shouldn’t be watching me [or] maybe you shouldn’t support me. There’s somebody else who spews a little more flavor of hate that you can go and hang out with.”

"I'm hoping [that] when you live your actual life, it’ll reflect into your work,” he said. “So, if I go into things without my hang-up, then it’ll be a shinier me.”
