Lance Bass' boyfriend, Reichen Lehmkuhl, says he and the former `N Sync star have been dealing with threats ignited by his new memoir, "This is What We'll Say: Growing Up, Coming Out, and the U.S. Air Force Academy," about the trials of being gay while serving in the military.
"We have to be very protective," Lehmkuhl tells "Inside Edition" Wednesday. "I am not going to hide. There are threats that come in from people who do not want me to be so public and expose what is going on in the military."
The former Air Force captain and winner of season four of CBS' "Amazing Race" says that he and Bass forward the threats to private security personnel who send what they consider the more serious ones to the FBI. "Everything is being covered so we feel safe," he said.
