The former White House staff member detailed the awkward misunderstanding in an interview with Kelly Ripa.
“You know, I shared my story with my brother and my parents first. I was like, ‘Hey, super gay. Just FYI,'” Penn told Ripa, 52.
Penn said his manager at the time was not gay, but had a producer co-worker who was, so he suggested the pair go out for sushi. He did not identify the manager on the podcast.
