rosebeeThere's been so much *NSYNC & Lance love on my friends list I think I'm gonna go all 'splody!!
I was reminded about Justin's article/interview in The Advocate a couple years back when his first solo album came out. I want to find & re-read that article with this new official knowledge that was disseminated yetsterday. :)
Anyone remember the thing on the ABC Family network (I think it was before it was ABC Family... I forget exactly what it was called, Fox Family maybe?)... anyway, Joey & Lance had this half hour (or maybe it was an hour) special, and they had a barbecue and Lance & Joey went to the grocery store to get stuff...
I want to find & re-watch that!
I also want to rewatch The Reel NSYNC, and that early Euro release that is "We Are N'Sync".
But mostly I want to sort through all the crap on my hard drive (and the stuff I burned off my old computer onto CD-R's because I had a teenytiny hard drive then and had absolutely no storage room). I want to find The Advocate article and that video of Lance & Joey.
Above all else though, I want Joey & Lance's sitcom to make it onto the air! Now I REALLY want to watch it!!! I wonder when they decided to make Lance's character (or as much character as there is in a hybrid reality/sitcom show) gay? Was it after Lance decided to come out officially? Was it before?
Copying here for my own persnal reference for now & forever.

Reichen's former parter Chip congratulates Lance
Chip Arndt Congratulates Former Partner Reichen Lehmkuhl and *NSYNC Star Lance Bass
07.27.06
(Miami Beach, FL) - Chip Arndt, whose winning of the hit CBS-TV reality show The Amazing Race with former partner Reichen Lehmkuhl advanced the right of gay marriage, has expressed his congratulations to *NSYNC star Lance Bass for his courage in telling People magazine, 'I’m gay', and announcing his relationship with Lehmkuhl to the world.
Arndt said, "The incredible, international response to our participation in "The 'Amazing Race'" from young LGBT people led me to commit my life to doing all I can to help make them proud of who they are and fully integrate into their families and communities."
"As we continue to be demonized and exploited by the highest levels of government and antigay-for-pay religious extremists, Lance’s example for his countless fans and those who don't know him personally is another major step forward on the road to full equality for LGBT people. Lance’s courage and integrity demonstrates to everyone, once again, the incredible variety of wonderful people who make up the colors of the rainbow flag. I wish him and Reichen the very best and look forward to working with them to achieve our shared goal of first class citizenship, while protecting and empowering LGBT youth!"
Since 2003, when he and Lehmkuhl raced 44,000 miles across four continents to defeat 11 other teams for the show’s $1 million prize, Chip Arndt has succeeded in transforming the winner’s circle into a platform for social change.
A much sought-after public speaker, he recently inspired a GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network) conference of 300 LGBT high school kids to embrace who they are, and, in the words of Martin Luther King, answer, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question - ‘what are you doing for others?’.” In addition to being a strategic advisor to the Matthew Shepard Foundation, and working closely with the Point Foundation which provides college scholarships to LGBT youth sometimes abandoned by their parents, he has continued to work for the recognition of gay marriage, gay adoption, and the right of LGBT Americans to serve their country openly in the military. He has publicly protested the attempts by 'Cafeteria Christians' to deny others their civil rights and the lies and damaged lives resulting from the false “gay conversion” industry. He is also President of Miami’s Democratic Lesbian & Gay Caucus and, in September, will lead the five-state Braking the Cycle AIDS ride for the third year, benefiting the New York LGBT Community Center.
ChipArndt.com, a personal Website for gay youth, will launch this autumn. An information resource, the site will include stories of a variety of LGBT achievers from both history and today’s headlines, as well as detail Arndt's own journey from a closeted teenager to an internationally known gay activist. He is Executive Vice President for Business Development for MerchantAdvantage, an e-commerce software company he cofounded in Miami, Florida.
