This Is What the Summer of 2006 Looked Like in Hollywood

The former *NSYNC member confirmed his sexuality when he came out on a July 2006 cover of People. "I knew that I was in this popular band and I had four other guys' careers in my hand, and I knew that if I ever acted on it or even said (that I was gay), it would overpower everything," he said at the time. "The thing is, I’m not ashamed — that’s the one thing I want to say."
