Bass, Justin Timberlake’s Colleague at N SYNC, Is Gay

Lance Bass, Justin Timberlake’s colleague in the now-on-hiatus band N SYNC, was forced to acknowledge by increasingly annoying gossip that he’s gay and declared the obvious for People magazine. He’s in a committed relationship with an openly gay male fashion model, Reichen Lehmkuhl.

"I knew that I was in this popular band and I had four other guys' careers in my hand, and I knew that if I ever acted on it or even said (that I was gay), it would overpower everything," says Bass, referring to bandmates Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick, JC Chasez and Justin Timberlake.
