- Lance Bass said growing up in the boy band NSYNC meant he was called "gay" all the time: "Being in a boy band, I got called gay every single day that I was in the band. And it wasn't because they actually thought I was gay. It's just because I was in a boy band. All of us got that. I definitely wasn't singled out. I think all of us got it equally."
He also reveals that his mom went on the road with him on his first tour, and that it was strongly advised not to talk about his personal life: "Being in the entertainment industry, you get told certain things and they allude to certain things. No one ever flat-out said, 'Listen, if you're gay, you can't do this," Bass says. "But they would [say] things like, 'You know, if you have a girlfriend, you can't really talk about them' and 'Remember your audience, your fans out there. They don't want to really know about your personal life.' So that always to me was kind of a backhanded, like, 'Look, we know you're gay, keep it a secret, kid.'"

Of all the Nsync members, Lance definitely aged the best for sure.
They all aged well, especially Dr JT 💘😍💖🤩
@@StuartdeOcampo so agree he’s gotten so hot. Didn’t feel this way when I was younger 😂
@@TheBitTV Yeah, JT was literal jailbait when *NSYNC debuted in 1997, when he was 16 years old: JT💘 caught me at *NSYNC's _No Strings Attached_ concert on 6/9/2000, when he was 19, with his brilliant beatboxing cadenza before *NSYNC's most prophetic song for him, "It's Gonna Be (JT💘)"

Well, he was literal jail-bat when *NSYNC first started: he caught me at the NSA concert, on 6/9/2000, when he was 19, and I was 27 😯.
@@StuartdeOcampo that was a good video and no need to repeat the same thing twice I understand loud and clear
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.
He aged like wine
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.
I'm a 61 yr old female married to a 66 yr old man & we have 2 adult sons (ages 33 & 20. I have a gay female cousin on my mom's side & my husband has 1 gay brother. We have gay friends & both of our sons have gay friends. LGBTQ+ should be free to live & love in a world where they are treated equal. VOTE BLUE 4 your rights & freedoms🇺🇸💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇸
Speaking as an old woman, as long as you're happy, we're happy. ❤️
True and he is he has a great husband who loves him and beautiful kids ❤❤❤
Lance was my favorite. Little did I know, I was gay and just liked him cuz he was fam
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!!"
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
I was going to come down and say this.
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.
I'd say he has a better idea than you do
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.
@@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
They also called Joey fat and Chris short and JC boring and Justin a mama's boy...I think they're okay! 😂
Everyone is hated and loved at the same time you can’t please everyone 😂
No one is killed for any of those
Other things
People are going to always talk and spill their insecurities out on others.
Jc boring?!! Oh hell no!
Used to? They still call them all that!😂
True in your heart n true in your persona. It must feel very positive to have your heart n your persona match. Thank you for kindly explaining n still being respectful of where you came from but then explaining how role models can give a new point of view to other children Through adulthood-
I'm so glad Nsync is back and that what Lance said about a reunion didn't end up being true.
I love you, Lance! I will always love NSYNC :) Y'all are the best, and I am so proud to be a fan for life!
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.
Lance is the hottest/cutest member of *NSYNC. LONG LIVE LANCE ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Lance Bass and Darren Hayes of Savage Garden are my very favorites then and now. I really don't have idea they had that in common. But the time I knew about it. Not bothers me. I loved them both the same. Same extremely talented beautiful people. 😍
Had no idea Lance was a fellow Packers fan. Makes me a bigger fan of his
Lance, I love you, Te amo!!!! ❤
They did get there reunion! Yay
Lance bass so sweet he own it lov it such a nice guy lov it ❤
Love you, Lance!❤
Love it
You looking beter like a kid i love nsync and you are my favorite Lance
Dang I never know as long as he’s happy this happened to me too don’t pretend to be straight it won’t work
Love you lance
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.
He mentioned that.
He said that, almost word for word. Pay attention
❤️❤️❤️
I never said you were gay but I wasn't a N*Sync member. I did reprimand people for writing themselves love letters and saying they were from you though. Some of their names as far as I know were Kayla Ann Adkins, Dorothy Weyant and Ralanda Tara Cook.
He's not reading these comments and he doesn't care
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.
I has no idea lance was gay until he came out.
Isn't "Alexander James" AJ's name from BSB?? 🤔
May as well name "Violet Betty" after JC... 😁😆🤣😂 At least her initials... Josephina Christina or something. That could allude to Joey, Chris, AND JC in his band, haha! 😉 Just a joke!
Michael's middle name is Alexander. Lance's first name is James. The baby is likely named after them, but yes AJ's given name is also Alexander James.
why divide the pie 5 ways? when I can get all for myself? especially since I'm the one baking it
Shame on Perez Hilton for forcing Lance to come out.
did he?
@@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.
@@abbyk7270 sadly since 2004
Speaking as a god-fearing woman I send blessings to you sweetheart peace be with you and your family hold your head up high God said he who is free from sin let them be the first to cast the stone❤😊 be happy live your life to to the fullest 🙏
Twisting scripture there. Yes, but he is still living in his sin. Jesus Christ said to the adulteress woman "Go and sin no more." Yet Lance is still living in his sin. There is no forgiveness without repentance.
Why am I NOT surprised??
That's wrong streight gay bisexual don't matter we still ❤ you
❤ je pense que ça été très dur a l'époque mais même que ça on pouvait comprendre qu'il est gay vu qu'on le voyait pas accompagner de femme. Célèbre ou pas, vive la communauté gay et lesbienne. On est né comme ça, l'amour est fait pour tout le monde. NSYNC FOREVER 😍
I think nowadays that he just says/does things for publicity and in an attempt to stay relevant… dudes stories change constantly
Clickbait title
I knew he was gay before he even came out
I wonder if uncle Lou didn't mess with him if he would have turned out gay
THAT WAS MEAN THAT ALL OF HIS BAND MATES CALLED HIM GAY EVERYONE IN MY SHOOL CALLED ME GAY ALSO AND I WAS IN TEARS
That's not what he was saying, the title is misleading.
It's going to be okay. Kids these days do that because they want themselves to feel better. Just know that you are great everyday and don't ever forget that.🙂
Watch the video instead of believing click bait titles.
Did you even watch the video you are commenting on?
They never called him that the other guys knew he was he’s just talking about mangers etc.

No one in NSYNC is 100% straight.
Not a single one.
Sickining what happened in Germany. Wow
Hey nsync...I mean sir Lance alot Armstrong...we need you..signed new generations alphabet
We?
@@clydecromey6933 we the world!!! But who knew? Lol
Do you know how many young men fantasized of being affectionate with an NSync member? Boybands aren't female-exclusive content.
Well, i mean, he is gay 🤷
Being called gay is not bad, if you are gay. But if youre not gay and called gay then thats an insult
That’s weird. If a straight guy gets called gay all it means is he’s got that zest the girls won’t be uncomfortable around
Someone gay was called gay? That makes no sense!! lol
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.
He was in the closet...when your in the closet you don't wanna get called gay
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.
The whole band was called gay for being a boyband.
This is not cool
im calling bull shit on this one
maybe because you are a pretty wealthy person maybe.
He worked for irlt unlike most rich people. He's not a nepo baby.
Is he the top or the bottom?
That’s such a chronically online thing to say and believe
@@felixsfriendthatgavehimthe2108 Did you think he likes both then?
@@richshackleton8104 it’s just a generally rude and ignorant question. And “top” and “bottom” are kind of uncommon concepts
@@felixsfriendthatgavehimthe2108 I guess team work makes the dream work. Just always assumed one was the tunnel and the other the train
Cool thanks for the garbage.
Ho is your girlfriend
No one lol. They used a surrogate.
He’s a dad now? Who’s the girl he got pregnant?
Artificial insemination or adoption duh
I believe you mean woman, it’s quite illegal to impregnate a girl. Just tryin to save ya some jail time brah. 😊
@@rudyramirezjr2309 You got quite an imagination there. I can tell you’ve never had a girlfriend after you turned 18. 😉
@@izach28 You think it may not be his real kid? You think he adopted the kid?
@@RonaldChapman he said how could be a parent I was explaining
Its not a big deal nobody cares
It was a big deal back then. Now not so much. That’s the whole point of the video. Did you not watch it? Wtf🙄
Boo hoo.
Hush
@@emeraldeleven8197 Boo hoo to you too.
I wonder what brought you here to shed your tears
also you look dumb saying boohoo when this is blatantly not a sob story, check urself
@@dankmemewannabe7692 Two weeks ago huh? Fairey.
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.
Reporting your comment, troll.
@@phantpwr not a troll at all. I love lance and nsync very much. God be with you.
Advertising your sexuality is as bad as advertising your religion - it shouldn't be done. It's an attention seeking behavior.
@@dr.darkroom I don’t belong to a religion. Your comment regarding ‘advertising your sexuality’ is directed towards the individual in this video?
