If the former band mates of Lance Bass were surprised at his homosexual outing, they were still supportive of such a lifestyle.

For example, Justin Timberlake may now be a bad boy - but had nothing but good things to say about Bass:

"Lance is one of my great friends," Timberlake said in a statement issued by his rep, Ken Sunshine. "I support him and wish him all the happiness in the world."

We can only assume JT was not present to express these sentiments himself because he was busy laughing at his rep's last name. Sunshine. That's funny.

Meanwhile, Another former group member, Joey Fatone, told People: "He took years to really think about how he was going to tell everyone. I back him up 100 percent."

You know where we're going with this, right, folks? Yep, looks like these guys are all in sync with their support of a friend.
