Rollerholden Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 tv.msn.com/tv/article.aspx?news=228739>1=7703 Lance Bass, band member of 'N Sync, says he's gay and in a "very stable" relationship with a reality show star. Bass, who formed 'N Sync with Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick, tells People magazine that he didn't earlier disclose his sexuality because he didn't want to affect the group's popularity. "I knew that I was in this popular band and I had four other guys' careers in my hand, and I knew that if I ever acted on it or even said (that I was gay), it would overpower everything," he tells the magazine. 'N Sync is known for a string of hits including "Bye Bye Bye" and "It's Gonna Be Me." The band went on hiatus in 2002. Bass has also found headlines for undertaking astronaut training and failing to raise money for a trip into space. Bass says he wondered if his coming out could prompt "the end of 'N Sync." He explains, "So I had that weight on me of like, `Wow, if I ever let anyone know, it's bad.' So I just never did." The singer says he's in a "very stable" relationship with 32-year-old actor Reichen Lehmkuhl, winner of season four of CBS' "Amazing Race." Bass and Fatone, 29, are developing a sitcom pilot inspired by the screwball comedy "The Odd Couple," in which his character will be gay. "The thing is, I'm not ashamed — that's the one thing I went to say," Bass says. "I don't think it's wrong, I'm not devastated going through this. I'm more liberated and happy than I've been my whole life. I'm just happy." I don't really have anything to say. Credit goes to Mark for showing me this. And sorry if this has been posted...I did a search I swear! By the way, N Sync makes some good music lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheArchfiend Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 And he was with Paris Hilton at one point. Maybe she turned him gay? Whatever. Their music still blows. Did I just say... nevermind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Sabo Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 ^perhaps she did have something to do with it. Also, with a dog named Tinkerbell, perhaps that lead him to the 'dark-side'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haiderodes Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 HaHa! I called it so long ago. Man, I should have made a wager. Now will Clay Aiken finally grow some and just come out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I'm so shocked...Reichen is WAY out of Lance Bass's league. Lance bass is definitely a trade down from Chip: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheArchfiend Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 HaHa! I called it so long ago. Man, I should have made a wager. Now will Clay Aiken finally grow some and just come out? I think every person walking the Earth has called EVERY member of a boy band "gay" at one point or another. I think it's Prince's turn to come out. A little late, but who are we kidding at this point? Prince doing American Idol was the icing on the cake is his "total gayness". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haiderodes Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 ^ I agree to that. While his "outing" wasn't a suprise, the fact that he is with Reichen was...how does that happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
methylene Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 He was in a boy band, people. Why are you acting as if this is some big shock? This is about as much news as David Bowie admitting to prior drug use would be. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheArchfiend Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 This is about as much news as David Bowie admitting to prior drug use would be. Matt What?!?! I refuse to believe that at all. Sure he named him and his group; Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars... but that doesnt... nevermind, I can't find an excuse to make. Oh, Ziggy... you could play guitar. Thank you, drugs for your influence in this great man's music. And you gotta be on something when your found in bed with Mick Jagger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

map2 Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Wasn't it obvious? If a guy spends more than 15 minutes doing his hair, that is when you start to question him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreatOne Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 What next, are you going to tell me Elton John's gay? Now all we have to wait for is the other four.
