Lance Bass Reveals How ‘N Sync’s Joey Fatone Found Out He Is Gay
Lance Bass came out when he was 21, but the 'N Sync member revealed that one of his bandmates discovered his sexual orientation purely by accident.
Bass, now 34, revealed that Joey Fatone was the first member to learn he was gay.
"Joey walked in on me with the guy I was dating just kind of sitting on my lap. Straight guys don't do that," Bass recalled.
Fatone was totally unfazed by the discovery and fully supported his buddy and bandmate.
"He was like, 'Dude, I don't care.' I'm like, 'Surprise!'" Bass said. "Joey was just like, 'Dude, I don't protect. I have so many gay friends -- I don't care.'"
Fatone wasn't the only 'N Sync member to react positively. Bass said the rest of the group was equally supportive of his reveal. "It was a not many months after that before I told the [rest of] the guys," Bass said. "I don't think anyone was surprised."
Today, Bass is the godfather of Fatone's daugher Briahna and is engaged to Michael Turchin.

"Out of all this, the tune, the tours, the love from the fans, it’s my brotherhood I’m most thankful for. I was a kid when we came together and I’m a man today because of the family I possess and you. I love you guys.
"The other thing I want to tell here today is something I’ve been trying to set into words maybe my whole life," he continued. "Growing up in Mississippi and in a Southern Baptist church, in a town where everyone knows your busin
JoeyFatonesaid his "My Big Obese Greek Wedding" character will come out of the closet in the smash film's hotly-anticipated sequel.
When co-star Gia Carides asked Fatone if he'd peruse Nia Vardalos's script, he said he was worried that his character, Angelo, had been killed off in "My Big Chubby Greek Wedding 2," which hits theaters March 25, The Seattle Post-Intelligencer reports.
Instead, Fatone said, the character was revealed to be gay.
"It was quite an honor for Nia to give me something like that, because not many people watch the non-comedy side of me," the former *NSYNC star, 39, told WENN, according to the Post-Intelligencer. "To have to convey something like that – telling your parents you are gay – it’s a tough thing."
Once shooting began, the thespian said he was inspired by his own top friend's coming out.
