Former NSync member Lance Bass will
make history Thursday with the broadcast of his December wedding to
Michael Turchin.
Bass and Turchin, an aspiring actor and
model, married in Los Angeles, after getting engaged in New Orleans
in September, 2013.
The wedding special, titled Lance
Loves Michael: The Lance Bass Wedding, will make history as the
first such special between two men when it airs Thursday on cable
network E! The special follows Bass as he visits friends and family
in Mississippi and features an NSync “mini reunion.”
“It does feel different for sure …
the way people treat you is different,” Lance told RumorFix.com
about getting hitched. “They take you a lot more serious as a
couple.”
Bass also weighed in on how he expects
the Supreme Court will rule in an upcoming case challenging
restrictive marriage bans in four states.
“I think the Supreme Court is going
to get it right,” he said. “I'm very positive that they are
going to decide we've got to legalize marriage for everyone. If you
look at all the cases [challenging such bans], you can't be that
ignorant – this is going to pass eventually.”
“Why are we spending so much money
fighting it? Wasting so much tax money for something stupid like not
letting someone love the person they want to love.”
“It can't be the land of the free –
except if you're gay!” he added.
