Lance Bass for Marriage Equality in Mississippi

Mississippi residents Lance Bass and his fiancé Michael Turchin share why they are Southerners for the Freedom to Marry.

Via Freedom To Marry:

It’s an exciting time to be a Southerner, Randy.

Change is really happening down here, and it’s coming so much faster than I ever thought possible when I was growing up in Mississippi.

Despite the incredible progress we’ve made, not a single southern state has the freedom to marry yet — and it’s time we take our movement to the next level to make that happen.

People here in the South really do support loving same-sex couples and I know that from my own experience. We can win the freedom to marry here, but it’s going to take all of us working together. Let’s continue the conversation about why marriage matters.

Lance Bass posted this pic on his Instagram account today with The Bachelor’s Juan Pablo Galavis saying,  “So good to see my old pal Juan Pablo! Been waaay too long! Just keep your ‘perverted’ hands off me!!”

Last month, during Galavis’ public dust-up over regarding gays as “more pervert,” *NSYNC’s Bass spoke out in his defense.

“I don’t hate him at all,” Bass said. “I still think he’s cute.”  Bass added at the time he has a massive crush on Galavis.

Galavis, who grew up in Venezuela, later said he respects gay people and blamed a language barrier for his use of the word “pervert.”

New Music: Lance Bass & Anise K – “Walking On Air” feat. Bella Blue

From Billboard:

“Walking On Air” was written by producer/songwriter/singer Anise K. The song features Bella Blue and Snoop Dogg as well.

“It’s fun, good dance music and that’s what appealed to me,” Bass said. “It had this really cool almost Arabian sound to it with the sitar which I really love and I don’t think it’s used enough here in America, so that was very different to me and knew it would stand out.”
