"Lance Bass has made a public service announcement about gay discrimination and harassment. The former &amp;#039;N Sync star made the statement in honour of 15-year-old student Lawrence King, who was killed in February in California after he arrived at school in feminine clothing. Bass told the Associated Press: &amp;quot;I heard about Lawrence on the news, and it was just incredible to me that kids that age would have such an issue...with the subject of being gay.&amp;quot; The announcement will be broadcast on the Gay, Lesbian &amp;amp; Straight Education Network as part of a promotion for the National Day of Silence, which sees students taking a vow of silence in protest at discrimination in schools. &amp;quot;I think it&amp;#039;s time for me to stand up...and help educate,&amp;quot; said the former boyband star. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m lucky enough to have been given a voice to be able to talk and grab the attention of people.&amp;quot; He also spoke about a possible reunion for &amp;#039;N Sync, claiming that there was &amp;quot;always a chance&amp;quot; the group could reunite. The 28-year-old said: &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s always a chance that &amp;#039;N Sync will do another album. I am totally game, I would love to. I mean, the best times of my life were with those guys.&amp;quot; &amp;#039;N Sync, which featured Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick, went on hiatus in 2002 after seven years together. They released three platinum-selling studio albums and had hit singles including &amp;#039;Pop&amp;#039;, &amp;#039;Bye Bye Bye&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;Girlfriend&amp;#039;.
