 ==Comment by NotGonnaTellYouMyName== 
 Lance, I applaud you for coming out. I think you were the best member of NSYNC, much more talented than that bra-ripper pervert Michael Jackson wannabe. And yeah, where did the Mike Jones thing come from? That doesn't make any sense whatsoever. 

 == Source? == 
 What is a ""hip-hop relationship with rapper Mike Jones"" and where did that come from? 
 I can't find any evidence of one person speculating it, much less ""many"".  There's no connection I can find between the two mentioned anywhere.  I removed the line, unless there's a source to back this up.  (I don't see the point of the American Idol paragraph in general.  I only recall hearing it in one radio interview, is it even important?  It was in reference season two, as compared to the first.  Hardly seems encyclopedia worthy.)

 == American Idol Quote == 
 Removed the American Idol ""quote"" line. It had no sources, and was simply put there to conjure up a particular reaction. This isn't important info to have on an encyclopedia entry. 

 == Gay rumours == 

 What about the rampant rumours about his alleged ongoing relaitonship with reality tv D-lister and openly gay Reichen Lehmkuhl?  They have been caught sharing clothes by the fastidious perez from www.perezhilton.com, have been photographed taking exotic vacations together, and have been seen with their hags (decoy dates) at nightclubs. 

 what about them? rumours don't really have a space in encyclopedia entrys. 

 Well they are more than just rumours.  Its an undisclosed fact, really.  the circumstantial evidence is overwhelming. 

 Bass has been spotted with Lehmkull at Provincetown on the fourth of juli. He's gay ) 

 Defamer.com has reported that he's a ""bottom"".  Can anyone substantiate this? 

 : Hardly.  It's just another gossip column like all the rest.  Until he makes a public announcement, it's officially just tabloid filler, no matter how obvious it seems.  By the way, the ABC article linked is not exactly about their relationship, as currently claimed in the article.  It mostly discusses how the sighting has resulted in a total lack of privacy, and even quotes: ""Media speculation about people's sexual orientation is not something we support."" from GLAAD.  And Wikipedia does support it apparently?  Most of the rest is just quotes from other places about how they were spotted together. 

  

 : I really wish I could put, on the main Wiki page for him, ""Lance Bass has admitted to being gay, suprising three people in Texas living under a rock.""   

 :I need to have this page unprotected so I can add an appropriate picture of him, Image:Lance_bass_shirt.jpg 

 :Seriously, why are people surprised!? There's been so many signs, he's always with dudes he probably introduced to his folks as his ""room mate"" or ""special friend"", he dresses like a homosexual, he acts like a homosexual, he's a prettyboy in a boyband (seriously, has there ever been a member of a boyband who isn't hot for c****!?)  

 Dumbest. Comment. Ever.     

 :...Not to mention completely inappropriate for Wikipedia.   

  
 PEREZ HILTON DID NOT OUT LANCE BASS! PEOPLE NEED TO STOP SAYING THAT 

 ;;Yes, he did.  He may not have drug Lance out of the closet, but when you constantly report on a person's sexual orientation, that's called outing.  Not that I feel bad for Lance, you understand.-  

 The welcome to the family thing should be reomved.  The pro gay anti gay rhetoric either way loses integrity for the article. 

 The truth is that this is a publicity stunt in response to accusations by effeminate fame seeking gays, i.e.Perez Hilton and jealous losers. What is not said is that Lance has denied these ""rumors"" and ""reports"" since 2002, as well as being subjected to numerous other nonsensical claims ala a relationhip with Kathy Lee. Boy bands have always been called ""gay"" and been the target of jealous remarks due to their popularity with women and especially young girls. It will be revealed this October (October 2007) that the people magazine cover and story was a publicity stunt mimicking Ellen Degeneres' similar People cover, purely to capitalize on all the internet gossip nonsense.
