Out singer Lance Bass this week weighed
in on Caitlyn Jenner's recent revelation that she initially opposed
gay marriage.
During an appearance on Ellen
DeGeneres' daytime talk show, Jenner, a Republican, admitted that
when “this whole gay marriage issue came up, at first I was not for
it. I'm a traditionalist.”
“You know, it's always been a man and
a woman. And I'm thinking, 'I don't quite get it.' But as time has
gone on, I think like a lot of people on this issue have really
changed their thinking here to I don't ever want to stand in front of
anybody's happiness. That's not my job,” Jenner said.

DeGeneres: Caitlyn Jenner “still has a judgment about gay
marriage.”)
Appearing on The Meredith Vieira
Show, Bass, who last year married Michael Turchin in California
and is a close friend of the Kardashian-Jenner family, was asked to
weigh in on the matter.
“What I don't get is she's sitting
there in Givenchy, full make up, saying 'I'm a traditionalist,'”
Bass
said. “I'm, like, what?”
“[But] I have to give her some room,
too, because, I mean, even when I came out, I still caught myself
saying, 'Oh, she's so hot.' Like doing that thing that you train
yourself to do for so many years. So, I think we should give her a
little room to grow.”
