Lance Bass Sponsors Gay-Friendly High School Prom

---

N’Sync singer Lance Bass and some other famous gays are helping support a gay-friendly prom in Mississippi, where a high school lesbian was denied bringing her partner to the event.

According to the Associated Press, Bass, Green Day and celebrity chef Cat Cora are among those helping to pay for a gay-friendly prom in Mississippi next month.

Organizers say the event is open to everyone but geared toward gay students.

The American Humanist Association also will contribute $20,000 for the May 8 event in Tupelo.

The annual prom is organized by the Mississippi Safe Schools Coalition.

This year’s event has drawn attention because of the case of Constance McMillen, a high school senior who challenged her school district’s rule banning same-sex dates at proms.
