   Since Mr. Bass was threatened, I think he should pursue any legal action he can against “Ted Fau”. People like this should be held fully accountable.

   I agree. Concerning the direct nature of the threats, this should be turned over to law enforcement. Let this psycho know what a faggot can really be capable in terms of dealing with sickos!

   I used to have a bad opinion about several artists and entertainers that came into the business of show under false pretenses. Sorry to say Lance fit that bill to T. Somewhere along the way, I got a soft spot for not just Mr. Bye Bye Bye (Lance B) but several other entertainers like Ricky Martin, NPH (Doogie) and even George T. from Star Trek, that at one time I would curse their name. I used to especially be totally against old timers like the resident hottie priest in The Thornbirds, Richard Chamberlain. I know writing that is so sac-religious but sobeith. I wasn’t just anti-Richard C. but there was others that had all the time in the world, like Rock Hudson to just say that little phrase “I’m Gay!” but chose another route. Most entertainers claimed to be out the people that matter in their life and I also get that too but when I was looking for heros and role models, these guys and gals were too scared. Most if not many decided to finally come out so late in their lifetime, that it didn’t benefit anyone and especially not selfish little me, who needed someone to look up too or someone to walk upright and proud about my lifestyle, my preference and my orientation. My thinking process was terrible at that time but you couldn’t tell me a thing back then either.
   Who could be upset with Ricky “Shake ur bon bon” Martin but angry and upset with the world me. It was odd to me that Mr. Martin was now an international success and then decided that it was ok to finally come out. There was times that I was feeling so horrible about being a gay person, let alone a gay teenager. Those great campaigns that they have now, “It Only Gets Better” and such would have been awesome so many years ago. I went too long feeling like the only person on the planet that was gay and I have to say that it was so overwhelming to and for me. Yes, honey, I was a fan of N’ Sync and watch other now out entertainers who would springboard through the showbiz world but the entire time pretending to be straight as an arrow.
   You have to understand that I’m from a fairly small city (Reading, PA/ Berks County) and folks from these parts act a bit backwards at times. Even though, I can honestly say, that there might be more gay activity here (at least on Craigslist) than say in San Francisco or in West Hollywood on any giving night. The men come out to play while the wives and girlfriends are away. It’s literally a hot mess and I have never seen so many “alleged” straight guys posting cell # and butt shots and I can’t leave out their junk all over the net.
   Most celebrities claim that they don’t sign up to be role models of any kind and I get that aspect as well. Unfortunately, it’s not an option because they are sometimes and somehow the voices of our nation, our generations and so on. They have this power and duty, since we are fortunate and unfortunate in the United States, where we don’t have royalty but we have something that at times seems a bit greater and that is Celebrity. I have notice that some celebrities make a bigger impact on what is going on in the world than say our own President. Think about cute-at-one-time Kirk Cameron and all his little comments and his viewpoint. Now I used to think this slightly cross-eyed young man was just downright beautiful. He somehow would have everyone’s attention as tv’s loveable trouble-maker and lady killer but the cutest of the bunch. He would grace several teen mags that I would purchase just for him. Well little did I know that Kirk would end up being someone that claims to love everyone but feels my life is an injustice and just wrong. I feel like asking Mr. Cameron for my money back for all the mags that I purchased and not just for him but he was so adorable, you couldn’t help but fall in love. I can’t leave out money for the paint that I would have to buy because having so many pictures of him and others up on the wall and tearing them down and replacing them woudl have ruin the paint. I would have to purchase so much later on or my mom would because of many teen heartthrobs like Kirk C.
   Do I think this Ted “dude” went a bit far with his words and how he expressed himself? Of course but maybe and I’m only saying maybe because I know guys like Ted. Now I’m noboody famous or anything like that but I’m a citizen of not just the United States but of the world. I’m someone’s son, brother and even uncle but I have friends and family everywhere so maybe I am somebody. Now I’m a waiter/unpublished author as well so I have to rephrase myself about being “nobody”. Well honey, I have been out and about for sometimes and guys like Ted seem to be lurking in every shadow of every gay bar or hangout since I been out and I can say circa 1988. Guys like Ted ??? that would stalk me for awhile and not in any kind of nice way. I would be verbally attacked and put on blast about being gay so much that I almost was forced to be straight because I felt it would be easier than what was happening. Can you imagine having someone following you from your front door of your house or sitting across a classroom with someone and they are telling you that you will end up dying from AIDS by the time your 21 because your a no-good faggot. Some guy telling you how much he knows that you like him but how sickening you make him because of it and how he feels like ripping your head off. I went through some kind of gay vortex, that I couldn’t even imagine living another day being treated in such a way. Well most of my bullies or guys around my way would end up being gay themselves or even better guys on the stroll and trade. I literally know guys that hang out in big groups and call you every name under-the-sun but you turn your back or blink an eye and they are posted up in some gay bar or a place that gay men and women hang out. It’s not just a contridiction but it’s just a hot “flaming” mess all around. When you go in the restroom at any restaurant, where there is writing on the walls and the content on the stalls is telling you about everything that is going on. Well of course there has to be no bathroom attendant for all this activity but then you read: I HATE FAGGOTS! I can tell you that 99% of the time, it’s someone who is gay or somehow on the fence about their own sexuality and wants some kind of audience. Now this same bathroom artist is struggling all-around but now they have that self-hatred thing, all planned out in their head. I used to see gay people in public before I was out and these were great individuals and loving and caring people. Some in which I might have had some real in-depth conversations with or even better or worse I might have made out with on occasions. Please cut me break I was young, dumb and you know the rest. Well now, I was seeing these same folks on the street or at the mall and now I was running away like Carl Lewis in Easy Spirit pumps and hiding from some form of shame. I didn’t get it back then and no one told me to do so but I was doing it and I never felt good about feeling that way or acting like that.
   Lance has actually turned into one of the out gay celebrities that I love because boyfriend has been in a few sticky situations (like this one) and handled them without bashing anyone and keeping his dignity in check. He is a real class act and I’m so to not just been a fan when he was in N’Sync but now that he is truly being the best man that he could be.
   We could wish all these bad things to happen to Ted ??? but there is this part of me that Ted might be just like one of the boys that likes boys.
