As part of this year's Day of Silence (April 25) commemorating those lost to anti-gay violence, Lance Bass has taped a message speaking out against homophobia.
Former boy bander and forever homosexual Lance Bass came out against homophobia for this year’s Day of Silence, which commemorates those lost to anti-gay violence. This year, the day honors Lawrence King, the 15-year-old high school student who was shot by a classmate (allegedly at this point) on whom he apparently had a crush.

Says Bass: “I heard about Lawrence on the news, and it was just incredible to me that kids that age that would have such an issue … with the subject of being gay.”
