Lance Bass Used to Bully His Gay Peers to Hide His Own Sexuality


Pop star Lance Bass used to bully gay students when he was growing up in a bid to hide his own sexuality. The openly gay former NSYNC star is rallying against youngsters who target homosexual teens following a string of recent suicides in America.

But Bass has shocked fans by revealing he can empathize with the bullies as well as the victims, because he is guilty of picking on other kids while he was at school. In an interview with Larry King, the newsman asked, "You made fun of gay kids in high school to hide your own secret?", while Bass replied, "That's right".
