It's a gay gay world, part 2

Earlier this month I wrote that the younger generation needs a few more gay icons that they can look up to. Now 27-year-old former 'Nsyncer Lance Bass has come out of the closet. He kept it hidden for years, certainly during 'Nsync's heyday but now he's decided to come out and let people know how relieved he is and how comfortable he is to be out and proud. Just don't plan on seeing him headline any parades; that doesn't seem to be his cup of tea nor should it as long as he is true to himself and lets people know that there's nothing wrong with being gay. And talk about a small world, he is currently in a relationship with Reichen Lehmkuhl, one of the winners of The Amazing Race back in 2003. Bass met Lehmkuhl through the real estate market. If you are a fan of AR, you'll remember that Lehmkuhl and then partner, Chip Arndt, won the million dollars on AR. Good for you, Lance. No word yet on which guys will be coming out of the closet from Backstreet Boys or 98 Degrees. But stay tuned!

peace,

paul
