Wayne Brady on TikTok
www.tiktok.com
As someone who gets to bring joy to others daily on tv, it's been ironic that I don't experience it as much as I'd like. 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 lgbtq+ family. It's scary as hell to say out loud but here it is. The people I admire the most are the ones brave enough to be themselves unapologetically. This shouldn't shake anyone's world, but if it bothers you at all, that's your business:) I was so afraid of having my manhood questioned, but screw that. A "real man" in my eyes, isn't afraid to be honest and happy. From now on, I'll be over here living my best life! I love you @Mandietaketa @Maile Masako @Jason

    Why the hell would you link to TikTok. I’m glad I read the URL first cause I almost clicked on it.

          Ok but wayne brady chose it as the platform, it’s the original source. It makes sense to share it. I say this as someone who also doesn’t use tiktok. If it bothers you that much then go read an article or the text from it which is actually here on this very post right below the link. You have a dozen options that don’t require you to chest pound about how great you are for hating tiktok.

          I usually stay away from this kind of response but it seemed like the initial comment was needlessly aggressive to me.

          It’s not about calm, I can be calm and be a dick. It’s about being nice. I mod flagged the reply because the user is not from around here and may not have bothered to read our single rule, which is to be nice. This reminder applies to you as well now. Be nice around here.

      Probably because it is the primary source for this story; it is literally Wayne’s personal account.

      I’m sure you can find a TMZ article if that’s more your style.

      What the hell were you thinking!?

      Honestly I’m far more concerned about how intense your response has been. The text is right below the link here on this post. No one grabbed you by the throat and forced you to open tiktok. Clearly tiktok lives rent free in your head for several hours a day if this post warranted such a strong reaction, despite the fact that you don’t even use it.

      I don’t like twitter. I don’t seethe anytime someone posts a link from it.

      Anyway I’m happy for him. It’s good to see he feels safe coming out.
