His name is Lance. He never stood a chance.

To all the girls/teens/collegiates who are now teens/collegiates/adults... who grew up with N*Sync... who thought that Lance was hot... and especially to that girl/teen/woman who allegedly inspired him to go into space:

OMG! Oh, and the Pope just admitted he's Catholic by the way.

He should sing the "I'm Gay!" song from Brain Candy.

Hollywood Cole		2006-07-26 01:21:15 PM

I remember like 3 years ago Dateline had something on N'Sync and they were showing video of each band member when they were in high school. The one they showed of Lance was of him playing Paddy Cake with a female member of his Chroir Group....WHEN HE WAS A SENIOR. I told my sister then, YEAH HE IS STRAIGHT.

NSync-Coming-Out Quintfecta in play.

NakedReporta		2006-07-26 01:33:33 PM

You know what really annoys me about this? He's been dancing around this issue for years, but when he finally decides to come out, why does he do it? Because he's working on some "gay Odd Couple" sitcom pilot. Same with Rosie O'Donnell and the gay cruise line sponsorship, and then there was some LPGA golfer who did the same thing. Heck, even Ellen DeGeneres came out only when her ratings were flagging and sweeps month was coming up. In other words, they came out when there was a buck to be made from it.

You want to be a positive gay role model? Just farking come out already. Don't wait until you have some book/movie/TV show to promote, or some sponsorship money to make. If that's how you're wired, and you want to be happy and healthy, just do it. Because to my way of thinking, the message this sends out to young gay people is that unless there's a buck to be made from it, you're better off staying in that closet.

Any gay FARKers wanna chime in on that thought?

"Screw his ass, gay-bass!" (Anyone get that?)

darkyn		2006-07-26 01:44:06 PM

ToxicMunkee: Will there ever be a time when "coming out" isn't such a big freakin' deal?

Probably when there aren't large groups of people spreading hatred, fear and contempt of us. Personally, I have never "come out." I simply began acting as if everyone already knew. I find that many people don't have a problem with gays and lesbians, but they do have an issue with pronouncements to that fact. Strange, but true.

I wonder if any of his fans will try to sue him. I am, of course, assuming he has fans.

smoky2010: Surprise, Surprise, SURPRISE!!!1!

My mom used to sell real estate in Hawaii. She had a listing once across the street from Gomer's house, and many times saw him coming and going with different guys. SHAZAM!

I'm moving this from Entertainment to Main so the deluge of submissions will stop

Jack Torrence		2006-07-26 01:47:19 PM

I submitted this with a better headline.

I had not seen those ping-pong cats yet

thank you, thank you, thank you

your mother		2006-07-26 01:48:42 PM

oh i love it when clearly gay people "come out." I had a friend that did this to me just days ago, it went something like this.

him: "i'm gay."

me: "i know"

him: "oh, ok."

chaddsfarkprefect		2006-07-26 01:49:10 PM

Could they include any more gay double entendres? Gives me the vapors.

fatal_exception		2006-07-26 01:49:14 PM

Bwahahahahahah! I can't get past that picture. With his crossed eyes and shiat-eating grin that guy looks exactly like a buddy of mine when he's totally wasted. Oh man I'm going to have some fun with this.

smoky2010		2006-07-26 01:49:43 PM

My father HATES the Gomer Pyle USMC character. He was in the Marines and hates the image he portrayed...

If he does he have (had?) the ghey, it would explain why the guy can sing like a bird!

//Is he still alive?

layyze		2006-07-26 01:50:36 PM

They took all of our tough names like Lance, Bruce, and Julian

AgtFritz		2006-07-26 01:50:52 PM

Is he sure he's not Bi Bi Bi?

well it was funny to me anyways.

mtylerjr		2006-07-26 01:51:15 PM

Im just glad the russians changed their mind about launching him into space as a space-tourist a few years ago.

The last thing we need is to infect outerspace with "gay"

Contrabulous Flabtraption		2006-07-26 01:51:26 PM

Many, many, many, many better headlines than this one.

Whoever submitted "Lance Bass Likes to Lance Ass" shoulda won...was NOT me by the by.

Oh man, and now the thread. The owls, the cats...I'm in hysterics over here and yet the topic isn't even funny!

spleef420		2006-07-26 01:54:14 PM

much like my cousin, the only person that didn't know he's gay is him.

Perhaps he's into serious Bass-to-mouth action.

Fark Her Gently		2006-07-26 01:55:34 PM

meh, I liked my "bye Bye bye to women" headline better

peachy92		2006-07-26 01:55:47 PM

I must admit, I do like *NSYNC. I'm in that age range. I have several fans that loved Lance. I helped them with their Lance-love by helping them acquiring pictures and running a website for them. I am NOT surprised by this at all. In fact, my sister and I would crack Lance jokes all the time. The attempts to make him come across as a heart throb just made him thst much gayer in our eyes.

I don't want to keep bashing him. I hope he's happy with his life. But I'm not surprised at all.

clancifer		2006-07-26 01:55:56 PM

Will someone now inform the NSync guy with the dreadlocks that he is white?

I agree with you, there seems to be a trend where coming out of the closet is used to gain publicity. There's another part to the problem though. Would these people have become famous if everyone knew they were gay from the start? I don't think so. Gay-from-the-start celebreties appear "niche" and get relegated to the C list.

cpux		2006-07-26 01:56:19 PM

Well DUHHHHHHHHH.

smoky2010		2006-07-26 01:57:36 PM

I see your orly owls and raise you a goose!

TheSilverOne		2006-07-26 01:57:50 PM

Now Justin Timberlake needs to come out of the closet. He's so overtly sexual about everything and so macho "look at me I'm a heterosexual, I love broads!" that you know he's hiding something. Cameron Diaz is just a beard. That's why they've been together so long. It's easy to keep a relationship long lasting when there's no real relationship to begin with.

Oh,he also needs to come out of the closet and admit he's not talented.

Ninjivitis		2006-07-26 01:57:52 PM

Lance's guy Reichen is hot.

That guy's built like a gay man!

pirho451		2006-07-26 01:57:58 PM

LOL! My colleague told me and I was like shiat! Must submit, must submit. I'll never stop, this I promise you, but alas, I was too late and now its tearing up my heart.

mzauberman		2006-07-26 01:58:33 PM

OK, so somebody's posted the O RLY owl, the YA RLY owl, kittens, etc. However, in the ONE place it's absolutely appropriate, a thread about a guy going gay, NOBODY has posted the BUTTSECKS owl??????

I'm ashamed of you all.

Please keep the Ray Bourque references to the threads on sports or the Outdoor Life Network. That is all.

He just revived a dead career.

Smart marketing.

the 4 people who care.

Just my twist on the headline.

I think darkyn has a better idea. I really don't care if someone's gay or not. If you want people to stop making such a big deal out of it, do your part by not making a big deal out of it in the first place!
