Lance Bass says he was called 'gay' 'every single day' in NSYNC

[@TheBitTV]

Of all the Nsync members, Lance definitely aged the best for sure.

They all aged well, especially Dr JT 💘😍💖🤩

[@felix_a_fiend]

It must’ve been really strange being the ultimate “symbol of attraction” for the female gaze as a member of the boy band, and being gay at the same time. I know idols in Korea are still going through what lance went through. Must be hard.

[@vincentjohnflorio]

When I was in school insecure people called guys gay if they did anything nice or endearing or sensitive. I always thought it was funny because it was like they thought you'd call someone gay to 'eliminate a threat', like ah if we emasculate the guy, he'll be seen as less of a guy, and the girls won't want them. Clearly, not the case with this band.

[@ayien88]

[@saramarshall2957]

I actually don't think them telling him not to talk about his personal life was necessarily a sly comment. They literally said that to all of them. They would be more popular with their audience if the girls thought they were single and available. Probably noone thought he was gay

[@rorysmom3]

I was going to come down and say this.

[@blackbirdflyyx]

You’re right, but as a closeted, young, impressionable kid who was hyper-aware of the fact that he was hiding a secret he probably internalised what they said differently. He also said that he wasn’t singled out when being called gay because the whole band was called gay just for being in a boy band.

[@sarahsmatter1160]

I'd say he has a better idea than you do

[@5601amber]

I think this too. I don’t think I would have had the biggest crush on him and my walls filled with his posters when I was 12 if I knew about his dating life. They sold more being single in the public eye.

[@saramarshall2957]

​@@sarahsmatter1160they literally said that to all the members of all the boy bands in all of the land. Lol. Plus solo artists like Britney and Christina. This is just a known fact. The Backstreet Boys all had to hide the fact that they all were pretty much in serious relationships. It was about money. I am sure they didn't want anyone to come out as gay at the time too but still he that wasn't some backhanded comment to just him implying he was gay

[@goombapizza6335]

Would have been funny back then if they'd been like, "You're gay!" and he'd been like, "I AM?! Oh my god, that explains why I like f*cking men! THANK YOU!!"

[@amylee8969]

From what I remember, all boybands were called “gay” back in the day when I was a preteen. Sure they were popular among lots of fans, but there’s always ignorant haters.

[@pendafen7405]

Realistically, and not saying Lance is lying or condoning what happened to him--wouldn't all the members of *NSYNC have had anti-gay slurs hurled at them? Being glittery boyband members who did a lot of fanservice back in the day? It's happened to every commercial boyband since NKOTB and Take That.

[@thepinkBra1]

He mentioned that.

[@DAMAGE795]

[@amylee8969]

Back when I was a kid, the term “gay” was used to offend and insult people. Back then, that behavior was considered normal. But today, it’s frowned upon to use that word in an offensive manner as LGBTQ has become more acceptable.

Shame on Perez Hilton for forcing Lance to come out.

[@abbyk7270]

did he?

[@Ashfer2]

​@@abbyk7270 Bloggers were hounding him and hating on him for being gay, but not being out or something. That's around when Perez's website was a really popular "news source". It got so bad that magazines started hounding him saying they knew he was gay and they would post the story forcing him to come out with or without him. So he had a day to decide what to do and therefore his piece in People magazine came out.

Back then, being called ‘gay’ was not a compliment. When I used it, it meant ‘stupid’, ‘weird’, ‘bad’. It was wrong, but I was trying to fit in with the crowd. You perpetuate LGBTQ as ‘the other’ like other minorities. We then grow up and realize it was wrong.

[@didigogo139]

He was in the closet...when your in the closet you don't wanna get called gay

[@DaviHughes]

Doh the problem was not that he was called gay for being gay, as people didn’t know it then, it was just because he was in a boyband which is something enjoyed by mostly girls. Therefore, gay was not used as a connotation of his sexuality but as a slur to diminish these men for catering to young female audiences. Anything that gets a huge following among women, especially young women, gets discredited and/or perceived as of inferior quality.

Love you brother. Homosexuality is a perversion. However, it is often caused by perversions thrust on children at young ages, broken home situations, lack of positive role models or feeling a lack of love. People are often bullied or pushed into subcultures. I believe we’ll be in Heaven together. No judgement from me but to any other young people watching this please don’t believe the deception. You are loved, you are beautiful. Cling to Christ; He loves all His children. Keep striving for the ideal when it comes to sexuality/ marriage… heterosexual monogamy.
