"...of musician Lance Bass, the ‘N Sync band member..."
Bass isn't a musician, and N Sync was never a band. Corporate flunkies whose "music" was an insult to all serious musicians.
Besides, was anyone really surprised about this, and even more to the point, who really cares about another fag coming out of the closet? Why is this "news" at all?
Personally, I'm glad Bass's genetic material will be prevented from harming future American music sensibilities.
Sounds as if you're more "affectionally attracted" to the Back Street Boys.
