Year They Came Out of the Closet: 2023

In 2023, Let's Make A Deal host Wayne Brady, then 51, publicly came out as pansexual, sharing that he is attracted to individuals regardless of sex or gender. "It’s never too late to take hold of your story," he stated. For Brady, the most fulfilling aspect of coming out has been the opportunity to inspire others to embrace their own truths.

"Life is too short to live in the dark," he emphasized, highlighting the freedom that comes with honesty. The most rewarding feedback, he shared, has been hearing from others, "You inspire me, not just on stage, but to live my truth." That affirmation, he said, made the experience all the more worthwhile.
