Ben's Blog

Lance Bass is Gay

The title of this blog is the entertainment headline of the day.  It seems every one wants to ask about the implications of a former boy band member coming out.  Will it damage his career?  Is this the right time?  Why did he do it?

I don't have the answers to those questions.  And I'm not going to insert any particular point of view on homosexuality. 

Instead, I will defer to the former N'Syncer for what this big reveal means:

“The thing is, I’m not ashamed — that’s the one thing I want to say,” Bass says. “I don’t think it’s wrong, I’m not devastated going through this. I’m more liberated and happy than I’ve been my whole life. I’m just happy.”  -PEOPLE Magazine

Good for him.

What say you, CBS 21 Community?

I really didn't have a reaction on it. I guess I was just indifferent on the whole thing. Someone's sexual orientation doesn't really matter to me, I have some friends who are gay.

If coming out makes him happy, then like you said, good for him. It's nothing that he needs to be ashamed of.

And here I thought he was just "Bi, bi, bi ... bi  bi!"

About BenRussell

Ben Russell is a general assignment reporter for CBS 21. He is a native of West Virginia, the Mountain State! Morgantown, the University City, is home. His parents and many of his friends still live there. And Ben plans to make the 3 1/2 hour trip often, especially during Mountaineer football season. But in the meantime, Ben is exploring Central Pennsylvania. He spent one year at The Hill School in Pottstown, PA, so he's already familiar with the region. And now he's looking forward to meeting the people. If you see him out, say hello; he will almost certainly stop to chat.
