Wayne Brady says opening up about his pansexuality "goes part and parcel" with mental health: "I'm lighter"

Wayne Brady, host of the CBS game show "Let's Make A Deal," recently came out as pansexual, marking a turning point in his mental health journey.

Pansexuality, as defined by the advocacy group GLAAD, involves the capacity to form enduring attractions to any person irrespective of their gender identity.

Brady, who is 51, said he has grappled with anxiety and depression for years, and that he felt he needed to talk about his sexuality because it "goes part and parcel with the mental health piece."
