As a little boy he tried to 'pray away the gay,' and he was terrified to come out to his conservative, Christian parents.
To protect himself and his career, Bass became"the shy one" in the group, he recalled.
“I went through a major depression for years — and to this day, I still struggle,” Bass revealed. “Do I have PTSD from hiding a secret for as long as I did? I don’t know. I don’t know exactly what damage was caused by staying in the closet.”After NSYNC wrapped their final tour in 2002, and Bass was no longer under a microscope, he said he slowly began living"my more authentic life."
The stranger turned out to be a reporter. And the reporter said they would publish an article about Bass’ sexuality — with or without his cooperation. He had 48 hours to decide.At that point, only a few people, including Bass’s sister, Stacy, knew that he was gay. When the People article came out, Diane and Jim Bass lost some friends. They also left their church, which had been their community for decades.
