Lance Bass' First Gay Date

Reichen comments on Lance: Click to watchNewly out and proud former *NSYNC singer Lance Bass revealed to Us Weekly that he recently enjoyed his first real date with his boyfriend Reichen Lehmkuhl. "He took me out to a really nice dinner the other night at the Hotel Bel-Air," said Bass.

On Saturday, Lance and Reichen enjoyed another date, albeit a less romantic one, at the Mercedes-Benz Polo Challenge in the Hamptons. And Reichen had nothing but nice things to say about Bass. Reichen gushed "I have the most beautiful boyfriend in the world."

Reichen, a former captain in the Air Force and winner of CBS' "Amazing Race," also has a new book coming out entitled "Here's What We'll Say," which deals with his experiences as a gay man in the U.S. military.

Now that the not-so-ambiguously-gay duo has gone public with their relationship, they can look forward to many more romantic nights on the town. And fret not because here at TMZ we will ask and we will tell!

196. Val,

I believe you missed Rog's point in the first place. You made a comment: JUST ANOTHER HOMO MAKING THE NEWS. Well why do you care if a "homo" makes the news? There are plenty of straight celebrities making stupid news too..Lindsay Lohan...Jessica Simpson...it's all stupid. So what's wrong with a story about these guys going on a date? Yet, the derogatory manner in which you called them "homos" is the reason you received a derogatory retort from Rog. If you were a female it was his way of offending you...in other words saying, "how do you like it?"

197. Rog, I am against homosexuality, but i am sorry for the blasting that you are taking from my Christian brothers and sisters. You are in my prayers and a docter is not needed for those that are well, but for the sick. Jesus called Matthew to be a follower and he was the lowest form in that day- a tax collecter. you probably feel the same way if your audited by the IRS. Jesus ate with prostitutes, tax collectors, lepors and the like. God is a God of Judgement but also is a God of grace. No one knows your fate because they are not the ultimate judge, but we are called to call what is sin....REMEMBER HUMILITY---1 PETER 3:15. aLWAYS BE READY TO GIVE AN ANSWER FOR THE HOPE THAT LIVES WITHIN YOU WITH GENTLENESS AND RESPECT. May you find Jesus Christ and you are in my prayers, Rog

199. I think it is terrific that a gay male celebrity has finally had the courage to come out. Lesbians have been out for a decade. Now it's your turn Tom. We all know you're gay - just admit it and be done with it. Staying in the closet has made you a closet case!

201. I am a gay man and I take offense to some of the homophobic comments here.

Why should we keep our relationships "private"? Because if offends some people? Well, I have news for you: if anyone is offended by the thought of gay men and women in loving relationships, that is your problem and something you really need to get over.

No, I am not trying to "flaunt" my orientation...I just want to be able to live and enjoy the same rights and privileges heterosexuals have: the right to walk down the street hand in hand with my partner, the right to marry....etc etc.

If straights can live their enjoy their relationships to the fullest and in the open, why can't gays?

202. Reichen is using Lance. Less than a year ago he was talking about his beautiful boyfriend who he gave a committment ring to. Months before he was in love with someone else. Before that he and Chip were married. Coincidentially at the same place Reichen took Lance on their first date. Reichen's a publicity whore seeking fame from this relationship. The only idiot who doesn't know seems to be Lance.

204. Great posting Krystal...way to go...I just wish all the postings full of hatred will find another story to post to, one that leads them to positive comments. I still say, if they don't like this topic, please stop the negative postings and find a topic where they can make a positive impact. Life is too short to be so full of negativity!

Kudos to Lance & Reichen!!! May they find happiness in this world of misinformed people!

205. Todd, I think your outlook on what christianity "should" be is enlightening. I just get sick and tired of everytime the topic of homosexuality comes up in whatever context..we hear from all the holierthanthou self-righteous bible thumping knowitalls. Those certain posters didn't stop to think that someone would be offended by their judgements and anti-gay statements. I am 39 years old and fed up with their kind. This story wasn't a debate about whether homosexuality is ok or not or a sin or not. But as usuall..thats what they wanted to make it into.I would rather get along with everyone..but at the same time I know that thats not possible. But that doesn't mean I am going to sit and take it when "they" decided to insult and bash us and that I am not going to give it right back to them. Some may say that thats non-productive. But I have actually gotten some ex-homophobes or whatever one wants to call them., to rethink their posistion. One poster claims he's not anti-gay..but he uses very hurtfull and hatefull terminology when reffering to gay people. Hopefully, he's learned better now. Thanks for you prayers Todd. But my prayers are most often for the world too learn to stop using god the bible and/or Christ as their weapons to belittle other's. I highly doubt that that is what god wants. And not trying to sound snotty...but I never lost Jesus. I am not perfect , but I think Jesus would stick up for the underdog and the truth as well. When people mob against someone just for being differant..in my belief..that is a bigger sin then then one that we are accused of commiting. I know not all christians are like that. It's just that the true one's generally don't get involved in judging others as loudly as the so-called fake christians. But thanks again.

206. I really hope that Reichen doesn't hurt Lance because he seems to have a good heart. At the end of the day, though, it's nobody's business but their own. It's just great to see a gay couple in the public eye. I know that Lance said he didn't want to be an activist, but just living his life out and proud and showing that you can be gay and "normal" IS a form of activism. People who say "who cares" need to realize that just being out and STAYING OUT is important.

As for those who condemn them based on "morality" and God, if they love each and honor each other, then they please God. We should celebrate love because there's too much hate in this world. It is not anyone's right to judge them because they think it's "gross." "Judge not lest ye be judged."

209. This is Lance's boyfriend before Reichen. He had to remain closeted for Lance. I met them once--- he was really cool. Not sure what he's up to now though.

210. I think they are a cute couple. I think his comments about Lance were very sweet. Good for them. I hope it works out, and they have a long happy relationship.
