A Chink 'N Sync?

Apparently, not everything about the five young men was synchronized. Lance Bass has just announce his sexual orientation as gay. Bravo, Lance.

When asked in a pole on AOL "Should Lance have come out sooner?" the 53,235 respondants chose the following responses.
No, it was his decision to make 87%
Yes, to avoid the rumors 13%

And I agree with the no respondants, how one choses to reveal the truths of their life is their business. I would want everyone to be open, but for some people, it's just too scary, still.

A second question was posed and responded to by 55,050 with the following results: "Bass says coming out sooner may have affected *NSYNC's popularity. Do you think it would have?"
Yes 75%
No 25%

Here I disagree. It would have legitimized a section of the fan base, and the girls would still have 4 others to swoon over! But seriously, that response defies my sense of justice, but certainly justifies Lance Bass' choice of timing.
