Lance Bass<\/strong> tells<\/span> <\/span><\/em>People<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/a> <\/span><\/em>magazine that he was surprised by how much support he got when he finally came out as gay in 2006.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lance, who is now married to Michael Turchin<\/strong>, with whom he shares two children, says when the original\u00a0<\/span>People<\/span><\/em> article with his revelation came out, “everything in my life changed.” And while some of the changes were bad, like losing a sitcom, he was surprised by how much support he felt.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn’t expect how positive the rest of the world would treat it,\u201d he says. \u201cThe industry said, oh, well, we can’t use you now. But the public \u2014 they made it such a positive thing.”<\/span><\/p>\n

He adds, \u201cOnce I was able to see that reaction, it made me feel so good that I wasn’t going to be hated.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

And some of that support came from music legend Elton John<\/strong>, who sent\u00a0Lance a gift after the news broke.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe most fun thing I got after I came out was a nice gift basket \u2014 I think on my front step \u2014 and it was from Elton John basically saying, \u2018Welcome to the club,\u2019\u201d\u00a0Lance\u00a0shares.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI was like, \u2018Wow, I got a welcome basket from the king of the gay mafia,\u2019\u201d he adds. \u201cI’m like, \u2018I’m in!\u2019 I thought that was the most fun, welcoming basket you could ever get.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
