Lance Bass: I'm Gay
WEDNESDAY JULY 26, 2006 08:30AM EST[/SIZE][/SIZE]
Lance Bass, the former 'N Sync heartthrob, reveals that he is gay, in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE.
"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," says Bass, referring to bandmates Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick, JC Chasez and Justin Timberlake.
"I didn’t know: Could that be the end of ’N Sync? So I had that weight on me of like, ‘Wow, if I ever let anyone know, it's bad.' So I just never did," he says speaking about his sexual orientation for the first time with PEOPLE.
Now, after years of keeping his personal life private, the Mississippi-bred, Southern Baptist-reared Bass, 27, is publicly revealing what he first shared with his friends, then his shocked family.
"He took years to really think about how he was going to tell everyone," says his close buddy Fatone, 29, who was the first 'N Sync bandmate to find out Bass is gay. "I back him up 100 percent." Adds Bass’s longtime pal, actress Christina Applegate: "I've always accepted him as who he is. It's about his own serenity at this point."
Having pursued acting, producing and – most memorably – space flight after ’N Sync went on hiatus in 2002, Bass now is looking ahead to new beginnings. He is in a "very stable" relationship with model-actor-Amazing Race winner Reichen Lehmkuhl, 32, and is developing an Odd Couple-inspired sitcom pilot with Fatone in which his character will be gay.
Mostly, though, he’s just enjoying the relief that comes with the culmination of a long, at times emotionally fraught journey.
"The thing is, I’m not ashamed – that’s the one thing I want to say," he explains of his decision to come out. "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."
As for why he's talking about this now Bass says, "The main reason I wanted to speak my mind was that (the rumors) really were starting to affect my daily life. Now it feels like it's on my terms. I'm at peace with my family, my friends, myself and God so there's really nothing else that I worry about."

I wonder which one is next?
Lance, why didn't you tell me sooner? We sure could have had some times.
And why are you always trying to steal my thunder?
WGAF forum.
It seems now a days if you are a good looking famous guy the "he's gay" stuff starts happening. Before I got married I was asked that..not that I'm famous...just good looking.
Besides, Lance is NOT cute in any shape. And it was pretty obvious he was gay. That American Idol runner up, Clay Aiken (sp?) is also just wiating to come out of the closet.
So does this mean that gayabc is a hottie?
here we go...............
I'm sure you have facts to back that up, right?
This once again falls under the category of,
ok, yeah, so what?

I wonder how much he got paid to do that interview.
Yes. Yes it does.So does this mean that gayabc is a hottie?
