   Because let’s face it — the last thing you associate with a boy band is gayness.

   Ha! Ha! Good luck to him.

   I honestly wouldn’t have expected that. I didn’t even believe the rumors when they surfaced a while ago. Well, good luck Lance. Now I wonder which Backstreet Boy will come out… c’mon, you have to expect it.

   Is this the standard pose for famous people coming out? It looks like the cover Ellen DeGeneres had when she revealed she was gay.

   And about which Backstreet Boys may be gay, even when I was a naive 5th grader, I thought Howie was gay… I don’t think I even knew what homosexuality was back then.

   stacyrocks-I thought the same thing about Howie. At least you were smarter about these things-when I was in grade school I had no idea the Village People were gay. (Ok, I just aged myself)

   lol tvaholic (#6), when I was younger, I had no idea Freddy Mercury from Queen was gay.

   Wow…I hate to admit it but Lance was my favorite in N*SYNC.

   I always fall for the gay ones.

   Yes, staceyrocks, that is the standard “Yeah, I’m gay, you wanna make something of it?” pose. And yes, Lance, I DO wanna make something of it. Oh wait, no I don’t, I’m only barely aware of who is. Although, he does seem to be the least weird looking member of that band.

    Would “Reichen takes it in the Bass” have been too contraversial a title for this post?

    Good for Lance and Reichen–they are cute together. I look forward to the day when a person’s sexuality is a non-issue and not something that makes the front cover of People magazine! Honestly, I do not understand why people have to make such a big deal about it. Sheesh! What’s next . . . a cover with Beyonce saying “I’m black!”????

    Wait..what?!

    Oooh, when I saw the news I had to come scurrying over to TVgasm! Reichen was a hottie. You go, Lance.

    BTW when I was a kid I thought Sigfried and Roy were brothers. Duh!

    The real surprise is that he’s only 27. Didn’t NSYNC break up like ten years ago?

    good for him.

    after his whole “rocket launch” (insert joke here…yes, pun intended) fiasco, i wasn’t sure if he’d ever be in the spotlight again.

    It must be an extremely slow week in celebrity news if this story is worthy of the cover of People¦.

    I called this one years ago, when N-Stink first had a single out. My gaydar was going off like crazy.

    Reichen seems to be the gay slut of Hollywood. I heard Clay Aiken was after him too.

    some magazine did a photo spread with Lance showing how he decorates his house for the holidays. Once I saw that- I knew the rumore were true! He hasn’t been trying to hide it (or Reichen) for a long time. He’s just not “come out” until now. Good for him for bagging a hottie!

    MYL- I like your title as well. Hi-larious!

    Awww the blurb needed a shot of Phil with the eyebrow raised to make it worthwhile.

    And on a serious note CBS should be after them hard, no pun intended, for a AS-TAR show. Again no pun just came out that way.

    I would never, ever believe from looking at that cover photo that Lance Bass was even a little bit gay.

    Now you young fans know how us old(er)gals felt like when George Micheal came out. Course we had more clues.

    Like the earrings. Like the winks. Like the tiny shorts and dayglo outfits.

    Damn, and we felt had. Do you?
