Gossip & Rumors
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.

98. Lance Bass is gay? I AM SHOCKED! Who would've thought a member of a boy band to be gay? He should've come out sooner instead of trying to play "straight". If N'SYNC couldn't make it on their music and fell apart because Lance is gay than they weren't that good to begin with. The only memeber with any talent anyway is Justin,lol. Happy for Lance but he insulted his fans intelligence. O h yeah,I too am awaiting JC's revelation. He wreaks of gay!!!

102. I'm so very happy for Lance. You religious freaks and homophobes need to go take a hike with your disgusting comments... I mean, you can NOT love all people AND be against homosexuality. That's impossible! It cannot happen! WAY TO GO LANCE! I wish you both all of the happiness and success that life can bring to you. You deserve it. You shouldn't have to hide who and what you really are. More power to you. :)

103. Good for him! I've known for years... But, I'm glad that he finally had the guts to come out... I have friends that are gay.. It is really hard to admit it to your loved ones..I know the pain that they went through so I understand where his fears came from... I admire him and I hope that he's happy... All you Closed minded people out there need to catch a clue.. People are people.. If I feel sorry for anybody, it's you,. Because Your ignorant.
