When I look at these pictures of Lance Bass and T.R. Knight at the AIDS walk in New York over the weekend, I think about what a difference a year makes. They've gone from closeted performers to openly gay stars who are now wearing their authenticity with pride. It's a beautiful thing and it is helpful to all gay people to have our gay celebrities be out and proud. But they should do it in their own time like B.D. Wong of "Law & Order SVU" and "Oz" did and not be forced out as Lance and TR were. B.D. Wong is a role model for us all.
