Lance Bass -- Out of the Closet

16. Good for him for being confident enough to come out to the public. Hopefully his band mates and fans will stick by his side. But why is he dating someone off of a reality show?? surely he could do better....

17. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR HIM TO COME OUT FOR THE LAST 6 YEARS!!! ANYONE THAT IS A SPITTING IMAGE OF KD LANGE IS GAY. I HAVE EXCELLENT GAYDAR.....I KNEW DANNY PINTARO (WHO'S THE BOSS) AND CHAD ALLEN(OUR HOUSE) WERE GAY WHEN THEY WERE STILL YOUNG.......REAL YOUNG. IT'S ABOUT TIME PEOPLE STOP BEING THESE HOMOPHOBES LIKE BACK IN THE 40'S AND 50'S....ITS A NEW DAY AND AGE AND PEOPLE SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE WHO THEY ARE AND NOT FEEL ASHAMED OR EMBARASSED.....LANCE HAS ALWAYS BEEN MORE ON THE FEMININE SIDE SO I'M GLAD ITS FINALLY OUT THERE.....ANOTHER ONE ON MY GAYDAR HAS BEEN CONFIRMED

19. Good for you Lance. No one should have to pretend that they are something they are not. I wish him the best.

20. I knew all along that something was going down with that dude. No offense but Lance Bass has always had the gaydar thing going. I kinda knew since the beginning. So, this doesn't come off as a big shocker at all. It's good to know that he got it off of his chest though.

21. it was rumored for years in the tabloids....which i guess goes to show there's no smoke w/o a fire. way to go lance, it took a lot of courage to do what you did. hopefully, you'll set an example for all those other famous 'in the closet' people to come out too. best wishes for you and i hope you know that you have a supporter here. your family will come around in time and if they don't, you can't live your life for them, you need to live it for yourself! good luck!

22. straight people can't have gaydar. that would presuppose they have gay tendencies. straights, stick with what you do best... overpopulating the world.

23. I am so happy for Lance to be able to have a full life now, and not havong to lie to anyone anymore. There were one of my favorite groups back in the day. I think that it is really honorable of him to worry about the happiness of the rest of the guys in the group.

24. I guess it is a big step for him (although I'm sure he wants to try to pimp his new show too) but really is there anyone who didn't know


You think JC will come out too?

26. I love when people say that they are happy the way they are and aren't ashamed yet he tried to never be photographed with his man. He can't blame it on Nsync. They've been over....WAY OVER

30. I am so proud of him! I just hope that small minded people don't make what is already a difficult announcement, more difficult for him and his family.
