Ain't No Lie, Baby

On the same day that the Washington Supreme Court handed down its illogical ruling on same-sex marriage, Lance Bass told People magazine that he is gay and in a happy relationship with actor/model/reality-star Reichen Lehmkuhl.

While the marriage ruling is disappointing, perhaps we should take it as a postive step that the Lance Bass news was greeted with a "ho-hum" from the entertainment industry. The bigger shocker was that he was able to land Lehmkuhl (who appeared at a Stonewall event shortly after he won the Amazing Race with equally-cute Chip Ardnt, president of our Miami chapter). As Americans become more comfortable with gay people who surround them, they are becoming more accepting of marriage equality for same-sex couples. Eventually, we will look back with disbelief that any court could challenge the right of same-sex couples to marry, just as we will look back in disbelief in that Lance Bass took so long to come out.
