    Well apparently he thought he was straight at the time. Even if he wasn't, some record companies might have wanted him to keep his sexuality under wraps.

    N'Sync sang about girls too, despite having a gay member. Though I would have wagered they were all gay.

    Well at least the other four were straight...
    Is that your final answer?

    Yeah but my point is Bass wasn't like "Hay guyz, let's sing about a boy this time!" They probably wouldn't have had many fans if they were singing about sexing up dudes. Same goes for Ricky Martin. They sing about what their fans expect them to sing about.

    Of course, that's true too, obviously.

    But the owls are still there...


    I for one was surprised. I guess I was surprised to hear about it, but I honestly never really considered it? I'm sorta glad that we had such staunch deniers of sexuality if only in order to establish the fact that flamboyant actions are cool for straight people and gay people (even if none of the people who established them as OKAY were actually straight)

    Would you stop going on about his girls LOL, check George Michael in Wham for precedent.

    Everyone I know always presumed he was gay, no one really cared then & we don't now. This is just a publicity stunt. He wanted to hide it to sell records & now he wants the sympathy hype to sell them again.

    I thought you had to be "in the closet" to "come out"?

    Well, if he was flirting with girls, then what were the signs of him being gay?

    I can't remember witnessing or hearing about him flirting with girls, with the exception of you talking about it. If he was flirting with girls it's probably safe to assume that he was doing it to affirm his "sex icon" status and sell more records. Like I said before, a guy singing about guys and who has guys in his videos isn't going to have as big of a fanbase as he would if he sang about girls. Do you remember girls from elementary school? How they went ape for N'Sync and Backstreet boys and Ricky Martin? They wouldn't have been so into his music if they couldn't visualize that it was them he was singing to.
