Which begs the question, who is Lance Bass again?

[jpgray]

1. In a related story, no one admits being surprised.

[Richard Steele]

10. Other breaking news: sky is blue; water is wet. Voice-dubbed Film at 11.

On a serious note: Props to Lance for coming out.

[jpgray]

11. Absolutely.

[Hissyspit]

65. I was totally shocked!

:P Damn, I never can keep a straight face. :crazy:

[Phillycat]

2. In further news, water is wet!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

6. File that under...

Fuckin' duh.

[HughBeaumont]

7. Talk about "Celebrities in The Glass Closet" . . .

[Divameow77]

8. Oh No!

Who's next Clay Gaiken?????

[Deep13]

9. Deep13 admits being white.

[Rabrrrrrr]

[pagerbear]

12. **crickets**

[ScreamingMeemie]

18. OMG! It's pagerbear!!!!!

Did you sneak in the back door??? You've been really missed! :hug:

[ThomCat]

30. Isn't this AWESOME!

:)

I saw him here last week. I was all jumping up and down and going :woohoo:

It was exciting. So now we just need to draw him back in and keep him here with lots of :hug:

[Placebo]

13. Tell us something we don't know.

Seriously,

One down, 4 more to go.

[ScreamingMeemie]

20. There are only four more closeted gay people in the world....?

;) :hi: :hug:

[matcom]

14. NO FUCKING WAY!

[asthmaticeog]

19. AHHHH, dammit!

I was going to post that pic and you beat me to it! :rofl:

[matcom]

22. great minds

:D

[asthmaticeog]

24. Indeed.

:toast:

[jonnyblitz]

36. LMFAO!!

:rofl: :rofl:

[xmas74]

15. Is anyone surprised?

I don't care for his choice of boyfriends,though.

[Placebo]

16. Oh, I don't know...

That guy is pretty hot.

As a side note, I'm betting Lance is bottom. Just sayin'!

[xmas74]

28. Oh, Reichen is hot.

I just remember him too well on Amazing Race. Unless he's changed, he seems to be the user type. In the past he's done almost anything to become famous. I hope this isn't one of those things.

I don't have to know someone to hope that they don't get hurt-especially since this is his first real public romance.

[idgiehkt]

63. are you serious?

that totally sucks. I know Perez Hilton was running pictures of them wearing each other's clothes months ago.

I hope he's not using Lance, but I know Lance will at least get the benefits of it, lol.

I think that what he's done is so brave, and I am so happy for him. I don't know why I am so thrilled about it, but I am. I hope they live happily ever after.

[ronnykmarshall]

41. A power bottom at that.

His bf is smokin hot!

[Placebo]

42. He'd have to be to handle all that!

:9 :spank:

[ScreamingMeemie]

17. Go ahead, laugh and point at me... I adore Lance Bass.

Not as a singer, but he has always seemed very funny, wellmannered and decent in interviews.

Congrats Lance Bass! :toast:

[Yavin4]

21. He Was Almost in Space

He could have been the first Gay man in space.

[ScreamingMeemie]

23. ...and that would have been something...

Why didn't he go again? I can't remember. He was going to go with Russia, right?

[progmom]

25. I think he didn't secure the funding he needed

on edit: yup. he needed $20 million. :o

[Placebo]

27. Assuming no astronauts or cosmonauts...

who've been in space have been gay. And I'm afraid the odds are stacked against them! :D

[dsc]

43. actually it is pretty unlikely that any astronauts or cosmonauts are gay

Remember they come from military ranks and were looked at very stringently before being accepted. I highly doubt any gay person could have made it through that scrutiny.

[Placebo]

44. Oh I bet they could!

Just because someone is married with kids and in the military doesn't mean they're not gay! And that's an extreme example.

[dsc]

47. These people were watched nearly 24/7

and the families hung out together. I am not saying impossible but it is unlikely.

[Rabrrrrrr]

49. The families hung out together so the men could go noodle each other

Well, maybe not, but I'm willing to bet that, if we haven't already put a gay man on the moon, we have at least put a gay man (and possibly a gay woman) in orbit.

[Placebo]

52. Precisely.

Gays love space and spaceships. And they need the lesbians to navigate and pilot!

[fujiyama]

61. If we didn't

the Russians or one of the other nations may have by now.

We have to remember that we're not the only ones launching people into space...

[tinfoil tiaras]

26. Lance Bass...he's from Clinton, Miss

I think. He was always my second favorite, after JC. I never really liked Justin all that much though...

[Mojambo]

29. Quite the shocker

As a heterosexual it's going to be tough to let him go, but that's the way things go!

[Rabrrrrrr]

31. I wonder if he's really gay, or just opportunistically gay.

Considering that every one of those no-talent pieces of shit sold their souls for fame and popularity to begin with, I would be very surprised if the asshole was telling the truth today.

Speaking personally, I think he's just trying to get his name back into the public dialogue.

Fucking faker, no integrity loser piece of shit.

But on the other hand, I wouldn't be surprised if the whole fuckin' band were gay (but not a healthy gay) because they're all self-worshipping self-absorbed whistleasses and so only like to have sex with people who remind them of themselves: to whit, other men.

[matcom]

32. what. you think YOU have the monopoly on being opportunistically gay?

copy-catting others can be a serious form of flattery

[Rabrrrrrr]

37. I have the monopoly on being ride-the-bandwagon gay, idiot.

:eyes:

Not opportunisitically gay. That's Underpants.

[matcom]

46. nnnooooooo, Underpants is our opportunistic SCIENTOLOGIST

get it fucking right :grr:

Underpants bounces on couches and you wear Capris

fuck. is it THAT hard to understand?

[Rabrrrrrr]

48. No, I wear mesh muscle shirts and crotchless panties.

ZombiNixon wears the capris AND is the representative from the just-riding-the-wave-of-popularity gay but he DOESN'T drink appletinis like MrsGrumpy does, who also wears men's pants when grocery shopping for erotic fruit.

For fuck's sake, man, don't you take notes?

:grr: :eyes: :grr: :eyes: :grr:

[matcom]

50. oh, MrsGrumpy is butch as shit

but you have a Freddy Mercury mustache and a Rob Halford 'gate'

[Rabrrrrrr]

53. I once saw her weld on her motorocycle WHILE driving it and

wearing a plaid flannel shirt full of tools and erotic vegetables, her hair blowing in the wind, whistling Glenn Campbell's "Wichita Lineman"

And I might have a Rob Halford "gate" but at least I don't have a Jeff Gannon "harbor"

[matcom]

54. MrsGrumpy threatened to kick my ass once

yeah, i gave her back her jack-hammer

:scared:

[Rabrrrrrr]

62. I've seen 3-year olds threaten to kick your ass.

And then I've watched you pee yourself in fear.

Coward.

Though this is a good reminder that I should probably get MrsGrumpy's Snap-On brand PH3050 Super Duty Air Hammer, PHG55A Flat Chisel, PHG57A Double Blade Panel Cutter, PHG59A Taper Punch, PHG87A Muffler Cutter plus PH200D Retainer Chuck in PB1D Blow-Molded Storage Case back to her, along with the Tie Down Straps with Cam Buckle and hooks.

[Placebo]

35. You're so right.

This could just be a ploy to get him the host job of a reality show on BRAVO or something.

[deadparrot]

34. No surprise.

But still, good for him.

[terrya]

38. Wasn't he also the one who wanted to go up to outer space?

The first gay boy in outer space. Boy, that would have been something.

[ScreamingMeemie]

40. You took the words right out of my mouth... no really...you did.

[IronLionZion]

39. I like how this is BREAKING NEWS on every news site

because there is nothing else going on in the world today.

[Deja Q]

45. Well, is he looking for a lover? Or just full of hubris?

[Frank Cannon]

51. OK, I'll bite. Who the %$* is Lance Bass?

I've never heard of this guy in my entire life, and even if I did, I wouldn't care about his "orientation". Am I supposed to? :shrug:

[Cannikin]

55. From the boy band NSync

[Frank Cannon]

56. N'Sync!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!! Isn't that, like, from 1998?

I could have produced a child and raised him/her to be a head-of-the-class third-grader since the last time the N'Sync boys made the news!

Thanks for that info!

[JohnKleeb]

57. I knew that when I was 12 and I have the worst gaydar ever

[driver8]

58. There's a shocker.

I hope I'm not being offensive to gays, but to me it was rather obvious.

[Duncan Grant]

59. It's always good when a 'celeb' comes out,

even when it's not a surprise.

When you're a very young gay kid in Bumf*ck, Idaho (or Kansas, Colorado, Mississippi, etc.) this is a good thing. Thanks Lance -- you done good! :thumbsup:

[Liberal Veteran]

60. On to other "Breaking News"....Water is wet!

In a world full of disappointments, at least my gaydar is operating better than better than Bush's Middle East Peace plan.

[Placebo]

64. Bush's plan for Middle East peace is to look for gays?

No wonder it's doomed to failure!
