Wayne Brady on Monday at the Live Out Loud’s 23rd annual Young Trailblazers Gala in New York City, spoke about his coming out as pansexual, and why the decision to do so was rooted in his own personal happiness. Receiving the Pathfinder Award in honor of his efforts toward supporting and bettering the LGBTQ+ community, Wayne shared with PEOPLE that his advocacy work is something he "would've done earlier."
"Knowing the work that's being done here, and the fact that I can talk to the youth and try to encourage them to live out loud, it's something that I wish that I would've done earlier," the actor, comedian and media personality said. "The fact that the organization can encourage them and make them feel safe — that's something I wish that I would've done.
