“I’m Gay”, says Lance Bass of N’Sync
“He’s Hawt!”, says Josh T, (that’s me).
It makes me wish I could come out - but I’m not a rich and famous public figure who can’t be so easily attacked, hurt, fired, and what have you.
So, Lance Bass was the first gay man in space. Well, you never know, some of those astronauts and cosmosnauts were pretty cute. ;-}
…after years of keeping his personal life private, the Mississippi-bred, Southern Baptist-reared (Lance) 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.”
…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.
“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.”
