''The thing is, I'm not ashamed,” says form N’Sync boy Lance Bass in the new issue of People magazine. “That’s the one thing I went to say. I don't think (being gay is) wrong. I'm not devastated going through this. I'm more liberated and happy than I've been my whole life. I'm just happy.''
Thank goddess. Finally. And shame on the bloggers.
Not that Lance shouldn’t have come out years ago... But after all the outing anxiety in the gay community over the last 20 years: Don’t we know it’s a tough call? That he should have been allowed to come out whenever he wanted?
Really. He’s not Donald Rumsfield, a man who is actively destroying gay lives and so should be outted (if he was gay). Unfortunately, bloggers, even some we like, wouldn’t leave the boy-bander alone as he ventured further out of the closet. Over Fourth of July weekend, just days ago. He was blogged about, photographed, and videotaped.
We nerds at OUTzone would have come running out of the closet, too.
Now, off our soapbox. Here is the official story:

I'm proud of Lance for finally coming out. I totally know how it is to "not" be yourself, for the protection of others, but it is so great that he would do that. All the best and I wish Lance all the love and happiness in the world.
