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.
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.''
Man, my gaydar is way off LOL!! Must not have been easy for him to hide who he really was all of these years.
I'm glad he has the support of this former bandmates:
Justin issued a statement today showing his support for Lance: "Lance is one of my great friends. I support him and wish him all the happiness in the world."
In a statement to ET, JC also responded to today's news with his support: "I've known Lance for more than 10 years. We have been through so much together. He is family and I support him unconditionally."
Joey -- who was reportedly the first member of the group to find out that Lance is gay -- told People, "I back him up 100 percent."
WOW his boyfriend is very handsome!! Teehee... :p

LOL!!
I have no idea what's going on.
You see a handsome guy now a days and instead of thinking "I wonder does he have a girlfriend" you have to think if he has a boyfriend as well.
Well ladies we lost another one... LOL!!

Yeah if we rewind the clock back, and as soon as their first album came out. I said they were all gay, you can ask my sister, she is a big fan. I knew this day would come. It's only a matter of time before the other ones admit it too. One down, Four to go.
I am taking bets.
2:1 Justin Timberlake is next...
3:1 J.C. Chavez is next...
4:1 Chris Kirpatrick is next...
5:1 Joey Fantone is next...
All right place your bets!

Hey Wizzyboy, what about Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz?
Hey, Justin goes to a church in our town!!
He sings there every Christmas, his grandfather is the pastor.

What about Rock Hudson and that gal he married way back when... all a sham. Besides, when Janet Jackson had a wardrobe malfunction right next to him he just blushed and looked the other way.

Well,, okay I will give you the malfunction. But I have seen him with "women" here in town, he grew up here where I am. But like Rock, some secrets are well hidden (in the closet)

Well of course you are going to see him with other women, he has to catch up on the latest gossip and fashion news!

This is true. I mean honestly, look at what he has done over the years. Is there ANYTHING MANLY ABOUT HIM. Besides being the next guy that all the preteens swoon over, you never hear him having tons of sexual relations with girls. Just a few dates, girlfriends. NO GUY IN HIS POSITION, NO STRAIGHT GUY, could honestly hold on to one women. Look for at the new kids on the block for example, they slept with a ton of women. Why, because they threw themselves at them. Justin, get's if not more just as many, due to the increase in world population, but yet you never hear of the him using girls like toilet paper. Not saying it's right, but it's what they do. Anyway, I believe it will be a matter of time. Look Britney dumped him, Cameron she will too, I just wish he would stop lying to the world and confess already, that way guys wouldn't have to compete with him. I mean after all the straights ones are what again, A.S.G.A.U.

Lance Bass is a bit feminine, so I wasn't surprise that he came out of the closet. I'm not a fan of N Sync's music, but I love the new song by Justin Timberlake called "SexyBack." Every time I hear that song, I have to dance.

SexyBack... SexyBack? Well, there it is there wizz! You were right! Justin will be next! SexyBack... for heavens sake!;)

Anyone betting Lance will pull an "Anne Heche?" You never know! Might just be an elaborate publicity stunt? Yeah... probably not likely. :)

My gaydar was waaaaaaay off.:confused:
This is the one I thought was gay:

Chris Kirkpatrick right?
I don't think the other 3 are gay. What are the odds of putting together a boyband and having ALL of the members turn out to be gay.:eek:
Now if it's a gay boyband from the start OK, but ALL of them? Naaaww just can't be. Only time will tell.
I don't blame some of those celebs for not being open about their lifestyle. There is only a select few who can be open about who they are and not lose out on a lot of money$$.
As far as Rock Hudson, certain people knew but kept there mouths shut.
These days they are coming out sooner and younger.
Lance is only 27.
I doubt he'll pull an Ann Heche LOL! 1
It's easier for women to switch teams but if Lance or a man says "I'm no longer gay" it would be "yeah right!!":rolleyes:

I can only hope & pray that Joey Fantone comes out swinging. If he was gay I'd give a month's pay just to hang with him. Maybe it's that Italian thing. I don't know, but I have always thought he was the most talented & good looking male image of the group. Hey Joey, I love you man. Really.

Oh yeah I wouldn't mind hanging out with him either. Lol

Oh well, its really true that its hard hiding a skeleton inside your closet... so here he is admitting his real gender... well, there's nothing wrong with being a gay. I do salute him instead for his courage in admitting it.

I doubt seriously that Joey Fantone is Gay, but if he were I'd stand in line to meet him. I saw his Crib & your right. It is a mansion. The man knows how to spend his money. He seemed to be the biggest talent & he is driven to succeed at everything he does. I hope he makes it Big time. If Jim Baluchi can do it, Joey will certainly be even bigger. He's the MAN.. :cool:
