N Syncer Lance Bass has recorded a public service announcement for the US-based Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network which will be aired in American schools next week as part of an anti-bullying National Day Of Silence. In the broadcast Bass, who came out in 2006 after achieving worldwide fame through *Nsync, says: "I think it's time for me to stand up ... and help educate, because I'm lucky enough to have been given a voice to be able to talk and grab the attention of people". Responding to an incident in which a Californian fifteen year old called Lawrence King was shot at school by a fellow student for wearing feminine clothing, he said: "I heard about Lawrence on the news, and it was just incredible to me that kids that age that would have such an issue ... with the subject of being gay".
