LANCE'S BOYFRIEND ATTACKS MILITARY ANTI-GAY RULES IN NEW BOOK

Pop star LANCE BASS' boyfriend REICHEN LEHMKUHL has written a new book titled HERE'S WHAT WE'LL SAY, which chronicles his 'coming out' at the US Air Force Academy.

Reichen Lehmkuhl at the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards - Style Villa celebrity gifting suite at the Bryant Park Hotel - Day 2. New York City, USA - 30.08.06

The US reality TV hunk hopes his story will prompt lawmakers to change regulations which ostracise gay people in the military.

He says, "It's still a criminal offence to be gay in the US Armed Forces. It's an abomination.

"In my opinion, it's the last legal human rights abuse the US allows. This book chronicles the secret society we created to survive as gay cadets in the academy.

"(With this book) I'm making a political statement. I wrote this book to end the ban on gay people serving in the US Armed Forces... It's just this one thing that needs to be fixed."
