“Let’s Make a Deal” host and longtime actor and comedian Wayne Brady has officially announced he’s pansexual, adding his name to a long list of Hollywood celebs who’ve thrown down as one in the never-ending list of “queer” sexualities other than straight in a desperate bid for attention and relevance.

In a diatribe posted to Instagram Monday, Brady wrote, “I advocate mental health for all and a part of that is self transparency. In doing my work, I’ve come to see a few truths, one of them being that I want to be free to love whomever I want.”

“This truth makes me Pan and part of the Igbtq+ family,” he added.

Brady told People Magazine in an interview also published Monday that he believes he’s “pansexual” rather than bisexual because in addition to being attracted to both men and women, “pan means being able to be attracted to anyone who identifies as gay, straight, bi, transsexual or non-binary.”

Which is basically like saying you're bisexual, while adding that mental illness isn't a dealbreaker.

The 51-year-old game show host, who has a daughter but who has also played gay characters in the past, said it was “scary as hell” to reveal his sexuality publicly - you know, in a society that heaps adoration, praise, and attention anyone who announces themselves as queer, sexually diverse, or who identifies as an azalea bush or refrigerator magnet.

Terrifying stuff here - and definitely not at all a need to be part of the fad.
