Lance Bass -- Out of the Closet

Lance Bass says he's gay and in a stable relationship with a reality show star.

Lance & Reichen: Click to watch

Over the last few months, TMZ shot video of Bass and "Amazing Race" winner Reichen Lehmkuhl, and although there was a buzz the two were a couple, they went to considerable lengths not to be seen in the same shot. In one video, as they walked through a park in New York together and saw the cameras, they immediately separated.

Now, Bass reveals to People he is indeed gay and in a "very stable" relationship with Lehmkuhl.

Bass told People that he feared coming out while he was in the boy band 'N Sync because he felt "it would overpower everything."

The 27-year-old Bass, a Baptist, has already told his friends and his "shocked" family, according to the magazine.

Bass now says he's at peace with himself.

Wow, now Lance Bass and I have something in common, we both came out during the same year! LOL!!

My gaydar sucks pretty bad, but I guess I could see why he was always construed as being gay. Well, alls I can say is that I'm glad he has come to our side!!

An endless number of comments and most of them support that he has finally slithered out from under the closet door. He is not normal, he is a fudgepacker. Normal men don't look at other men and think "Wow I would like to get in his pants", that is just plain sick. This poor bastage doesn't have a clue what life is about or how he would have gotten here if his dad had been packing some other guy's butt.

Thinking that gay is wrong is not homophobic...its called morality. Nature itself says homosexuality is wrong...have you ever seen gay animals? I don't think I need to be graphic with exactly what gay means...but it is obvious that is not they way it is supposed to be. If anyone is homophobic, it is those who want to name call someone who actually has a moral standard. It is true, it is his business, he has to make the bed he sleeps in (no pun intended)...and, he may be at peace with himself...but that won't matter in the end...what will matter is what God thinks. The only reason Christians say anything about being gay is because we care enough to at least try and warn those that they, like all of us, will have to give an account to God in the end, and what He says will go and believe you me, there will be no public opinion considered in the mattter.

#135, Nancy, I'm so happy for you that you chose to be straight. God made you just the way you are, and you chose to be straight. What a wonderful God! He's in His heaven and all's right with the world.

I can't even believe that this had to be made such a big deal. He's gay. So What! Just gives the narrow minds something to talk about instead of their own hidden disires.

I Already Knew:  1998 days ago

Why is this such a shock? LOOK @ him! Just LOOK!
Next he'll try to "SHOCK" us with details of whom's screwing whom (Like we don't already know! Bass = Take it in the A**)
I hope this don't give christians a bad name, like "oh! their all gay."
I mean to each their own but why did they have to say he is a baptist?
When others come out they don't mention their beliefs or affiliations.

GOOD FOR HIM!!! All the members are happy for him, people are making this a bigger deal than it should be!! who cares if he is gay or straight!! And NO I dont think this would have made nsync unsuccessful in any way!! nsync fans are die hards and would never judge something like this!! love Nsync and I miss them!!
