Happy Anniversary!!!!!….
TO ME!!!!!!!
So it was a year ago that I decided to let the world know who I really am… and I swear it has been the most amazing experience. Scary at times , but in the end the best thing I have ever done. I want to thank everyone that has been so supportive and showing that this world has and will continue to change in the right direction. With the election coming up, it is even more important that we stand up for what we believe in and be heard. Enviroment, war, civil rights, education…. the list goes on and on. I encourage everyone to learn more this year about ALL the issues that need attention. Some of you will actively be heard and support some issues, and others will just be educated— in the end all that matters is we all are going to have a hand in changing this world for the better!
Also as an Anniversary gift for me …think about doing this….
If you are having trouble being yourself , and are scared to tell someone you are gay— find that loyal friend, family member, or even hotline and tell someone. All it takes is to tell one person and the ball starts rolling. You will get great advice and and be so much happier. Or, if you have always wanted to ask that family member or friend if they were gay.. do it now…. in a very positive and private way , tell them it is ok and you will always be there no matter what. Sometimes its easier for someone to just flat out ask you. To bulid the courage to say it sometimes takes years.
It's 2007 people , there is no reason we should not be exactly who we want to be- sexual preference, profession, religion, etc. Just respect the fact that everyone is different and live your own lives the way you want! It's good to be alive and we can do and achieve anything we want!
So go do something positive, nice, fun, or just laugh… it doesnt affect just you .. it catches on!
Have a good one!! LB
first
farts!
you're amazing
i still cant believe hes gay.
Way to go, Lance!
hi!
www.lifeafterdenim.com
firsties!!!!!
I just don't understand how anyone couldn't have known he was gay! I mean, his feet never hit the ground!
i love him!
He's awesome.
Awwww, that's presh.
Lance Bass is gay??
Go Girl!
That's actually a nice positive message!!! good for you Lance!
He is such a flamer. Boring.
:[ I loved him so much when I was little. I always joke around with everyone that I'm in denial hes gay.
I like when they say sexual preference. It underscores the fact that it is a choice rather than being born that way.
isn't he a darling?
i love him too much .
I Don't understand why we can't be ourselves without letting everyone and their mother know who we sleep with, Black people don't go around telling people their black or Jewish people or anyone, Being yourself doesn't mean you have to make your sexuality a topic of discussion! I really dont understand him whateva
seriously, that's the one of the coolest thing a celebrity has spoken about in a really long time.
lol, it's not like it was shocking or anything. i'm still waiting for the rest of the nsync band members to come out. lmao.
props to him, a real person in Hollywood is nice to see. Some great advice, too
whoopie!!
too many fags in this world. i would kill all if i could
I LOVE BRITNEY SPEARS I LOVE BRITNEY SPEARS I LOVE BRITNEY SPEARS I LOVE BRITNEY SPEARS I LOVE BRITNEY SPEARS I LOVE BRITNEY SPEARS I LOVE BRITNEY SPEARS I LOVE BRITNEY SPEARS I LOVE BRITNEY SPEARS I LOVE BRITNEY SPEARS I LOVE BRITNEY SPEARS I LOVE BRITNEY SPEARS I LOVE BRITNEY SPEARS TE QUIEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
aww yay! i love love love nsync and i always love hearing news about them! i just wish they would do what bsb is doing and reunite to create another album! i have listened to their last CD so many times that it skips during every single song
FAG!!!
jarjar are you a retard?
are you saying that sexuality is the same thing as race?
the reason why more high profile gay and lesbians should come out is to let young teenage gays know that there is nothing wrong with them and that if they are being bullied at school or at home they should stand up for themselves and be proud, i am very happy that perez is speaking out for gay people everywhere.
i'm actually happy for him.. so what if he's gay
Lance is in the movie Chuck and Larry. After knowing him as Nsync and now he's gay. Did he know back then he was only into men?
what a git…
good for him
Bend over baby!!!
Hey, good for him. I'm not a fan of his but I like the message - very postive and well written. Thanks for posting this P!!
What a fantastic message! Totally made my day! (And I was never even an NSYNCH fan…)
He sounds very happy…what more do you want? Wish I was that happy
Lance…you sound like a really nice guy…
and you are still cute to all of us girls ..anyway…
Judge not …..and you will not be judged…
Even If I am a mean whore.. I do have to say that his message was full of good energy and was encouraging in a good way..
for those of you out there throwing fag around and who brag and overtly express their hate for gays…..tend to have their own closted homosexual issues…dont hate on people for who they are,…stop judging people ….jsut stop. thats our problem, we are sooo concerned and consumed about everyone else's lives, issues, preferences that we forget about our own individual issues. mind your own business..if it doesn't affect you personally, if it doesn't hurt someone…its no big deal. just be happy with who/where/what you are and thats all that matters…..JUST LOVE ONE ANOTHER…I AWAIT THE DAY WHEN SCHOOLS HAVE ALL THE MONEY THEY NEED AND THE AIR FORCE HAS TO HAVE A BAKE SALE FOR BOMBERS!!
IDIOT! NEVER use the term "sexual preference." It buys into the looney right wing evangelical notion that it's just some meaning preference or choice, like what color socks to wear. We don't need incompetent spokespeople like him. GLAAD, please give Lance some instruction on how to be useful.
aw, what a nice message. good for him - other celebrity blogs are so idiotic.
Umm, that's okay Lance, I don't want my taxes to go up or my energy bills to go up any higher, so I don't think I will be voting for the Commun….oh, I mean Democrats. Thanks for the suggestion, but I think I'll pass. Giuliani 08.
Good for him!!
Perez, can you let other celebs do this on their own? Love your site, except for outing people. It's a journey people need to do on their own terms (and even celebs are people). Keep ragging on celebs, but leave the outings to them.
I THINK IT'S GREAT THAT YOU'RE GAY!!!! I THINK IT'S ABSOLUTELY FUCKING RIDICULOUS TO HAVE TO SHARE IT WITH ANYONE. THE NOTION THAT TELLING EVERYONE YOU'RE A FAG AND SOMEHOW BEING LIBERATED IS FUCKING….WELL…GAY!!!!! IF YOU'RE A FAG, GUESS WHAT? EVERYONE ALREADY KNOWS!!!!
Uker NO I am not retarded! I am just stating that lance is telling gay guys who might be vulnerable to go around telling people they are gay, Just because he is comfertable with his sexuality doesn't mean everyone else is, also sexuality is only a small portion of who someone is, it shouldn't identify them as a human being, Oh and btw I am gay so before you start calling people childish names I think you need to step outside the box and look at situations from others perspectives and not just automatically applaud a has been boybander!
Its that kind of thinking that will help countless teens/young adults make the leap to freedom. What he has done in the last year makes up for that movie "on the line" that he did. Good one and thanks!
Wow… Gay or not that is the most positive message from a celeb I have seen in a long time. Good for him. He seems like a decent human being.
GOOOOOOOOOO LANCE!!! I'VE ALWAYS SAID IT'S GREAT TO BE GAY!!! NO CHILD SUPPORT!!! NO GETTING PREGNANT!!! NO FISH!!! NO HERPES FROM PARIS HILTON!!! GOOOOO LANCE!!!
finally - some news on perez that makes me happy.
it's summertime - it's sunny out - yet every news source from nytimes to perezhilton can only find sad and upsetting stuff to report on
gross
He made this announcement exactly a year ago. On my birthday. My bday is also labeled as the day Lance came out of the closet. Noooooooooooooooooo.
My friend is going to be pissed cause today is his bday also. He's gay too he's probably going to jump for joy.
Is he actually suggesting that we should just accept people for who they are? Wht if they want to be pedophile rapists?
This picture would be good if I had my 3-d glasses then it would look like he was going to touch my head with his cock hand. scary.
Good for Lance, Finally something good has come from a celbrity in Hollywood. Maybe Lindsay should spend some time with him, she needs all the help she can get! Congratulations Lance!!!
rock on lance. why is his myspace page private? i kinda wanted to see his page? i thought we're out. o well being gay is much cooler with lance out and about.
"as an anniversary gift for me" ????????????????????????
yes, let all the little homo boys and girls come out alllll over the world in celebration of Lance Bass. :/
how ghey
Im a fag, and I certainly don't think that some weho celebuwannabe should be our spokesperson just cause he has been out of the closet for one year.
go away Lance, we were done with you about 2 weeks after you came out.
NEXT
Wow, I am very impressed. Lance wrote such a great letter. It was really sincere and inspiring.
Unlike the mispelled and grammatically incorrect letters that other recent celebs have written! … I feel like 'Damn, there's finally a sane celebrity!'
I’d say he has the right to use Sexual Preference if he so chooses as one’s identification of one’s sexuality is defined accordingly. I do believe that while we may not choose to BE gay we do choose to– or not to–LIVE gay. As much as straight people choose to live straight….look at how many gay men and women choose (or are feared into) living the straight life. The choice is not in who we are attracted to, but in the acting upon that attraction. In the end I believe it does not much matter whether it is a choice or not; what matters is that people realize, irrespective of nature or choice, one has the right to live the way one wants within the parameters of not infringing on another's rights. I think that people that still argue over choice or nature really get the conversation wrong, because the answer to such does not much matter and will not move our agenda for equal rights forward; indeed I'd imagine it has made it rather stagnant.
that was kinda nice…
Ok, it's time the world knows this about me. I've struggled with this decision for a long time, but you all deserve to know.
I'm not gay.
Thank God it's out there. Let the chips fall where they may. What a relief!
He's sooo proud about taking it up the A** and sucking D**k.
LMFAO @ Hyde
Frankie, your not proud for taking it up the a**?
maybe your gettin pounded by the wrong guys
*shrugs*
First of all, Lance, did we, the world, really need to know who you really are? It must be typical of "celebrities" to think that everybody automatically cares what they say, think and do. Secondly, before outlining the political agenda for the next election, at least check to make sure that everyone agrees with you. The fact is, they don't, and at least half the country disagrees with the spin that you give to many of the items on the agenda that you specified. The entertainment world really is a strange reality vacuum, and those who grow up in it seem to be unaware entirely of the trend of real life in the real world.
HE'S SO RIGHT!!! PPL NEED TO GROW UP AND STAY OUT OF OTHER PPL'S LIFE!!! PPL NEED TO FIND HAPPINESS…NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE SAYS ….. U GO LANCE!!!!
Maybe it's just me…but I think asking someone if they're gay is one of the rudest questions I can think of. Unless we catch someone making out with a member of their own sex, we're really just inquiring about a behavior we view as 'gay', not a sexual preference.
I, too, love all the crazy shit going on with LiLo, Paris, Nicole, etc. WAY better than Christmas on acid! BUT, what a nice, sweet, sincere, positive message to hear…thank you Lance, you made me smile today, and not at someone else's unfortunate misstep.
He's so flaming and i love it!
GO LANCE BASS GO
That sounds like the perfect, hip, hollywood speech that makes you stand up and take notice….but you left out one major thing, Lance. We will all stand before a loving God someday and give an account for how we lived our lives. We all know that the Bible says that homosexuality is wrong. Just taking your advice and standing up for what I believe in. Just something to think about.
here here to Megan (#42). I really can't stand celebrities who feel they have to "educate" the world with their own political views. EVERYONE needs to get educated and finding alternatives to the liberal "news" networks is the first step…broaden your minds people! For those of you who are happy to pay for the moochers of the world, by all means, give away more of your hard-earned cash, but I know I'm not voting for the government who forces us to pay more.
I'm ferklempt. I love that boy.
Francine do you take it up the A** ?
because you said "maybe you're getting pounded by the wrong guys and it led me to believe that you had the Right guys pounding your A**
He is so cute! I'm proud of him!
I can't believe it'
