In case you haven't seen the gossip columns today, lance Bass, formerly of N'Sync announced today that he is gay. After years of keeping it in the closet to protect his boy band image, he couldn't take the lying anymore.

I applaud Lance for his honesty and think anyone who is not being themselves in the dating world should really think about coming clean. This is not just about sexual preference, it could be anything you are hiding.

If you can't be honest with yourself how can you really expect the same from a partner. So start by getting a grip on who you are and what you stand for. Pretty soon you'll shape your own identity and be that much stronger for it.
