On April 25, schools around the country are going to recognize the 12th Annual National Day of Silence, which is meant as a day to call attention to anti-gay bullying, harassment and violence in schools. This year's Day of Silence honors the memory of Lawrence King, who was shot and killed earlier this year for wearing high heels to school and for flirting back with the boys who bullied him. Lance Bass, newly anointed Gayface of the Nation, is doing his gay civic duty by posting a PSA for GLSEN to help encourage kids to talk about the issues.
There's nothing funny about the PSA (that is, except for the part where he seems to be calling that little girl with the glasses "brother") or about the issue.
The only laugh riot here is that in a related interview with the AP, when asked if there's ever going to be an 'N Sync reunion, Bass says, "I am totally game, I would love to." Hilarious. In your dreams, Lance.
Barring one of Justin Timberlake's legs falling off, our money's on a 2025 reunion tour, sans JT (sort of like the Beach Boys are still touring, sans Brian Wilson and sounding super crappy) when JC and the other boys are pushing 50 and trying to scrape together some money to keep their condos out of hock.
Anyway, we still support you in your keeping it real for the gay kids.
