So, Lance came out. My mother, when I tell her, just smiles, and goes, “Good for him! Its about time.” *snickers* I love my mother a really lot.

I do have some problems with the article, specifically regarding his family. Or, really, the whole “recent” vibe they gave it. I can totally believe that his family had some problems with the news, as they not only live in the Bible Belt, but Mississippi specifically (and I know folks who live near where Lance is from, ok, not the most open-minded area of the world), and are themselves Baptist, which is also not always super-open-minded. And really, even the most intelligent, educated, accepting people can have sudden problems dealing with things when its not just an idea, or so-and-so down the street, but their very own child/sibling/etc. So, yeah, I can mostly buy that part.

Its the idea that its recent that makes me call bullshit. I mean, Diane Bass has never come across as a moron. So why, when your son has been in the spotlight for about 10 years, when there are mags that will and have printed all kinds of lies and rumors about him and his bandmates just to sell a couple extra issues, when even reputable publications have been known to get things flat-out wrong or not be able to tell when their writers submit fiction — why would you ever believe anything posted about your son on the internet? That’s just. That’s beyond idiocy, and she’s not an idiot. Which means that either the timing is a lie, or her finding out via the net is a lie. Hard to say which, really. And I don’t entirely blame him for coming up with whichever lie it is, just because ANYTHING is better than giving publicity to a certain cockroach dick with two last names.

But you’d still think he’d come up with a better lie. Make it your grandma. Say Reichen is gonna dump your girly-hipped ass unless you come out. But don’t make your mother look dumber than Britney.
