"I'm not ashamed,"
Bass reportedly told the magazine.
"I'm more liberated and happy than I've been my whole life."
Bass says that he's involved with Reichen Lehmkuhl and
reportedly says that he kept his sexuality a secret
mostly out of concern that it would hurt the boy band.
Fellow member Joey Fatone was the first band member he told.
"I back him up 100 percent," Fatone said.

Rumors had been swirling about Bass, 27,
and his relationship with 32-year-old reality-show star Lehmkuhl.
The New York Post's Page Six reported that the couple
had been spotted over the July Fourth weekend at Atlantic House,
a gay bar in Provincetown, Mass.
Bass' spokeswoman Cindy Owen said to ABCNEWS.com that
the singer would not comment on the report
and that the singer would not comment on whether
he felt that the Post had "outed" him.
She did not return calls today to comment on Bass' magazine interview,
which will hit newsstands later this week. Bass had long been living a double life, according to The Washington Blade, a leading newspaper for the gay and lesbian community. Managing editor Kevin Naff took him to task for it in his blog on the Blade's Web site.
In an entry early this month, Naff accused him of being an "openly closeted" celebrity, comparing his actions to what Rosie O'Donnell and Ellen DeGeneres had done for several years before they publicly came out. Over the July Fourth holiday, Naff wrote that Bass reportedly had made "the gay party rounds," appearing with Lehmkuhl at several prominent gay Provincetown parties.
His whereabouts were also noted by "gay bloggers" Andy Towle and Cyd Zeigler, Naff wrote. Bass, Naff wrote, "tried lamely to disguise himself with a hat" during his vacation.
"Unfortunately for Bass, it wasn't big enough to fool the New York Post," Naff wrote, adding that it was the most media exposure Bass had received since "his odd and ill-fated attempt at space exploration."
