    Good for him. And good for lots of other people, probably. But we all kind of figured, right? That man flirts with everyone, with impressive sincerity.

    It's always so eye-opening to read about a larger-than-life personality like Brady considering themselves an introvert and being bullied in school. I am glad he got to a point where he is happy and can share his story.

    If only they addressed that in the article...

    “I am pansexual,” he says, meaning that he is attracted to persons regardless of their sex or gender.
    Brady puts it another way: “Bisexual — with an open mind!” he says with a chuckle.

    Oh wait they did. Read the article.

    It really gets under my skin when folks frame bisexuality as bigoted pansexuality.

    Edit: I'm not saying he wasn't making a lighthearted joke and I'm not even really saying he shouldn't have said it. I'm just sad that for a lot of people this may be the first time they hear about pansexuality and assume it means that people who say they're bi are transphobic, enbyphobic, or something else.

    The definition I originally came across is a pansexual person is not attracted by gender but by the personality. So no rules or restrictions on sex organs or gender identity or presentation. It's really attraction to the person underneath above all else.

    don't mean to be ignorant but how is that not just a word for non-superficial bisexual?

    The "bi" part of bisexual implies a gender binary. Some people like that, some people don't. Pansexual is just an alternative that is explicit in its attraction to non-binary people. Some people aren't attracted to non-binary people, and use bisexual as a label to specifically mean only an attraction to men and women. Other people who might be described as pansexual describe themselves as bisexual simply because it is a more well known word. It all varies.

    "Non superficial bisexual" isn't the worst definition of pansexual, but saying pansexual is shorter.

    The way I (a bisexual) have always interpreted the difference is that pansexuals feel the same attraction to all genders and that bisexuals feel different attraction to different genders. I identify as bi because I definitely feel different kinds of attractions towards men, women and enby's.

    I’m pansexual.
    In doing my research, both with myself and just with the world, I couldn't say if I was bisexual, because I had to really see what that was, especially because I really have not gotten a chance to act on anything. So, I came to pansexual because — and I know that I'm completely messing up the dictionary meaning — but to me, pan means being able to be attracted to anyone who identifies as gay, straight, bi, transsexual or non-binary. Being able to be attracted across the board. And, I think, at least for me for right now, that is the proper place. I took pan to mean that not only can I be attracted to any of these people or types physically, but I could be attracted to the person that is there.

    The very first time I saw Brady on tv (circa 2000) I was watching whatever it was with my mom and we both presumed he was gay then and there. It was a little interesting just because there were so few evidently gay people on tv at the time in such prominent roles.

    But yeah...

    “Bisexual — with an open mind!”
    seems about right too.

    I think (hope) that hundreds of years from now, most of the human species will achieve this higher form of love and acceptance. It's so silly to not freely love whom you love.

    They seem like a lovely family :)

    Also... looks like Redditors are starting to flood it here with their uber-insightful commentary.

    I know shouldn't, but whenever I hear pansexual, I hear Jay of Jay and Silent Bob screaming "I'll fuck anything that moves!" in my head.

    I already loved his character in HIMYM (James, Barney/NPH's gay brother) so much because of the trade in sexual orientation between the two actors and their characters. This makes it even better <3

    I would never have guessed this, and yet I am also in no way surprised.
