Lance Bass is on the cover of the new issue of The Advocate, the magazine’s special 1,000th issue.
Princess F. talks about life, love and celebrity blogs. Perez is even quoted in the article!
Here are some of our HIGHlights:
Lance Bass on the challenges of being accepted by the gay community:
“Our community is very fickle. It’s a touchy community because it’s the last civil rights movement we have left here in America. So when someone new like myself comes along and says off-the-mark things, yeah, I can see how people would get pissed.”
On hiding his homosexuality as a member of N’Sync:
“I was always watching what I said, what I did, […] You would learn so many things throughout the years, like, gay people do this and gay people say this. I remember one time someone told me that if you say the word so a lot, that’s a tell that you’re gay. I was so afraid to say the word so in anything I did! That’s how crazy things got for me.”
On his first relationship with a man (who still identifies as straight):
“Still, to this day, he’s with women only, and I was the only guy he was ever with, […] To have that be your first relationship is really confusing because that sets the precedent for everything you’re going to have to deal with in future relationships. I had feelings—huge feelings—that weren’t reciprocated.”
On his relationship with Reichen Lehmkuhl and what he learned from Lehmkuhl’s experience in the gay community:
“I was finally in a relationship I was proud of, […] I was very much in love, and when you’re in love, you don’t care what people think. […] I saw how half the [gay] people hated Reichen’s guts—they didn’t just dislike him, they hated him—and then the other half just loved him, […] I never could understand that.”
Perez Hilton on Lance’s 2006 coming out interview in People magazine:
“That People magazine article was hilarious, […] “If Lance Bass is a straight-acting gay, then I eat pussy for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.”
