Lance Bass has officially come out and confirmed that he is gay. Lance, 27, spoke exclusively to People magazine and revealed his reasons for concealing the fact that he was gay for so many years. He talked about wanting to protect the other members of his band, 'N Sync as part of his decision.
"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 told the magazine. Lance has quietly been dating actor Reichen Lehmkuhl and now he is proud to admit that the two are more than just friends. Britney Spears' ex Justin Timberlake has even come forward to show his support for his former band mate saying, "Lance is one of my great friends. I support him and wish him all the happiness in the world."
