BREAKING: Lance Bass Comes Out

lance-bass-gay.jpg

While we're a bit disappointed that former N SYNC band member Lance Bass decided to reveal his big gay secret to People magazine instead of to us, his favorite gay blog, we can maybe forgive him in light of the big fat check they undoubtedly wrote him.

In the interview, he not only reveals he is gay, but also that he is in fact dating former Amazing Race contestant Reichen Lehmkuhl, as we suspected.

It makes us happy to see him so happy:

The thing is, I’m not ashamed – that’s the one thing I want to say. 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.

Maybe now Lance can usher in the next big thing: the entirely gay boy band.

Frank dear, if you would ever get your gay ass on an Atlantis cruise with me, you'd know there already IS an all-gay boy band!

The website obviously needs a little updating... unless their "mistletoe jam" is in July.

But Ven is definitely my favorite. He may not have the greatest voice on the face of the earth, but he makes up for it with his other attributes. Mmm.

Michael says:

The worst thing is, he should be ashamed. I wish him the best, but being gay should not make you happy. We are all sinners, but as such, we should try to become more like God. Please so not think that I hate gays, I only wonder why they can not be straight. We are all going to be held responsible for our actions in the end

Rye says:

Here's hoping "Michael" is kidding. But, in any event, it's nice to hear that Lance came out. If more and more people came out, society would realize we're not just some fringe minority and that there are actually millions of us.. and hopefully realize that it sucks to make millions of people second class citizens.

He's gay? Duh, I could have told u a long time ago. Just like I knew George Michael was gay before he came out.

Lance is gay. Yawn. Next!

He comes out when his career is effectively over. I see another George Michael in the making, quite frankly.

Benson says:

I agree with Jerry--this might have been real news six or so years ago when anyone actually cared about 'N Sync (or any other boy band for that matter). Also, don't know whether this was about Lance displaying his gay pride or if his managers realized that there was absolutely no way they could spin hanging out with Reichen in P-Town. The whole thing smacks of a desperate attempt by a current D-Lister to fight his way back to the C-List. Pretty pathetic, if you think about it.

Are you kidding me ? why is everyone making such a big deal about that ?

LANCE is GAY should NOT be the top story.

wasn't it very OBVIOUS!

David says:

Congrats, Lance! Coming Out should feel GREAT! Hope you and Reichen have a great life together.
Having someone to share your life when you come out is a rare gift. Cherish it!
