Lance Bass is Gay. Film at 11.

So, finally, one of the members of the 90's boy-bands that ruled pop music (*NSYNC and their bitter, and better, rivals Backstreet Boys) has come out of the closet!No, it's not Justin "Sexy Back" Timberlake or Kevin "I'm Outta Here" Richardson. It's Lance Bass!

The reaction to the news has been one of bemusement (or downright bewilderment) in the gay community. First off, the boy has been dating Amazing Race Season 4 co-winner Reichen Lehmkuhl for quite a while. The surprise was not that Lance came out, but that he came out now, while *NSYNC is "on hiatus." Of course, People magazine immediately put him on the cover of the magazine. 'Nuff said!
