People still using anti-gay slurs against Lance Bass

Lance Bass came out publicly as a gay man back in 2006.

But some people just can’t deal with it.

‘Every day, I hear some idiot calling me fag or threatening to kill me, and that’s what you have to live with when there’s still such a negative look at the LGBT community,’ Bass tells ABC News.

‘It’s just sad what people are brainwashed into thinking.’

Bass, 35, is engaged to marry actor Michael Turchin December 20 with the ceremony set to be a part of a Valentine’s Day television special on E!

‘The network is doing the first celebrity, gay wedding, which is such an honor to be a part of,’ he said. ‘It’s almost 2015, and we are just now having the first gay wedding special on television. As a little kid from Mississippi, I would have loved to have seen something like that go down on TV, so that I knew nothing was wrong with me.’

Despite the haters, the former member of ‘N Sync is encouraged with the progress going on in the US culturally, politically and legally.

‘Definitely times are changing. … Look, [my home state of] Mississippi might be on the brink of legalizing gay marriage. I would never have thought in 2014 that would be the case.’
