Lance Bass' plan on how he would e out as gay to his 'N Sync band members didn't exactly go acrdg to plan. I have so many gay iends — I don't re.
Joey Fatone and Lance Bass brought their stunng athleticism to Battle of the Network Stars, and the two NSYNC stars relled the awkward moment that Fatone found out Bass was gay. In the 90s was a lot ls easy to be openly gay, pecially while the public eye, but lookg back, Bass might have changed a thg or two sayg, "If I was givg advice to my 16-year-old self, I would say, 'Go ahead and be yourself right now. ' I wish I would have realized that I was gay at such a young age and been able to be fortable wh , to tell everyone, bee my experience wh NSYNC, I thk, would have been pletely different.
RS: Did you ever, at any pot, have any spicns that Lance was gay? Chris Kirkpatrick would say, “You know your boyiend’s gay, right? ” She said, “Do you thk there’s any possibily that Lance might be gay?

Joey Fatone and Lance Bass brought their stunng athleticism to Battle of the Network Stars, and the two NSYNC stars relled the awkward moment that Fatone found out Bass was gay. "We were hangg out at a club one time," said Fatone, "and we went back to his hoe to hang out and party and drk some more. I passed out his gut bedroom. I woke up at, like, 3:00 or 4:00 the morng. I'm like, 'Damn. I got to go home.' So I went to go to his room. I knock on his door, I open up. And one of his 'iends' was stg on his lap." The story was all good fun and Fatone was sure to mentn that the two were fely not naked. Fatone said to them, "Uh, let me know when you're done," before shuttg the door and leavg. Although Fat9he had figured out Bass's secret he didn't out his iend bee Bass wanted to tell others his own time. In the 90s was a lot ls easy to be openly gay, pecially while the public eye, but lookg back, Bass might have changed a thg or two sayg, "If I was givg advice to my 16-year-old self, I would say, 'Go ahead and be yourself right now. Don't worry about what other people thk of you or what they say about you.' I wish I would have realized that I was gay at such a young age and been able to be fortable wh , to tell everyone, bee my experience wh NSYNC, I thk, would have been pletely different." * member of nsync gay *
I don’t thk there’s any possibily that he’s gay. RS: How did that make you feel at the time, the realizatn that he might have been gay, and how did make you feel after he publicly me out 2006? That followg year, I started hearg om other people that Lance had, some way, let them know that he was gay.
WHICH OF THE BOY BANRS NKOTB AND NSYNC ARE GAY?
I jt wanted to let you know that I’m gay. I thk wasn’t until a lot later, when I uld read ments on the ter where people were like, “Oh, Danielle turned him gay, ” that thought even entered my md. ” I know that Lance really believed that our relatnship had enough of the quali that uld have lasted, that would have worked, and so I didn’t ever feel like him tellg me he was gay was any sort of reflectn on me.
Jt the way that the whole world perceived gay people kept me the closet, and pecially beg a bs like the mic dtry, which is very homophobic, there was no way I wanted to tell a sgle soul.
I thought that I uld live a whole life jt ignorg the fact that I was gay. I grew up a church where you pray the gay away, and you n’t be gay, but the lson you learn is y, you might, might have gay feelgs, but you jt nnot act on . As long as you don’t act on , that means you’re not gay.
