*NSync star comes out of the closet

Lance Bass, a singer in the boy band NSync, has revealed that he is gay and enjoying a long-term relationship with a former star of a US reality television show. The 27-year-old, who has a “very stable’ relationship with `Amazing Race’ participant Reichen Lehmkuhl, claims he had kept his homosexuality a secret because he did not want to hurt NSync’s popularity and cripple the careers of his band mates. “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,” Lance reveals. He said the reason he wanted to come out in public now is that rumours “really were starting to affect my daily life. Now it feels like it’s on my terms.” He adds, “The thing is, I’m not ashamed. I’m more liberated and happy than I’ve been my whole life.” *NSync, the band from which fellow member Justin Timberlake launched a solo career, went on hiatus in 2002. [27 July 2006]
