Lance Bass of 'N Sync reveals he's gay


NEW YORK (AP) — 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."

Murphdogg, deepseas,& tamra,
Yeah he really had me fooled with that movie http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0279286/ - On The Line' though.....The girl in that movie he was trying to get at was fly to me!! @.@

But all jokes aside I feel you. Is it safe to say the homosexuality is one of the last real discrimination barriers that this country has to cross?

deepseas,
Definitely.....racial or gender discriminations aren't going anywhere (http://www.starpulse.com/news/index.php ... e_off_airp - ask Monique') but I mean it's one of the last barriers.....socially and more importantly politcally that has not really been properly "adjusted".

Some 80 years ago the political debate brought about the 19th ammendment for women.....some 40 years later civil rights for blacks....then another 40 years or so pass and now Bush gets voted in based in some part to being against gay marriage.

Minorities and females need to help the gays out cause that was us ( and still is us)not to long ago...... b.b

bingolong,

yup, that's why it's called acting. :lol: but there are a lot of gay actors kissing on women daily.

but as for gay discrimination, when I walk through a door, it's clear I'm black. but say I looked like Paris Hilton, would anyone say, I think this heffa is gay, lemme tell her the position has already been filled/apt already been taken. no one really knows if someone is straight or gay, even if they're a cross dresser. cross dressing could just be their thing.

however, for a very highly visible position in sales, we had a gay guy that could not be hired. he looked literally like Julie Andrews and Sandy Duncan had a kid together, and walked w/more ass wiggle :lol: than me. he was openly gay, very nice, and a flight attendant. but for high tech sales w/the likes of middle class america, he made every man in office feel uncomfortable, which meant sales wasn't possible.
