Lance Bass: 'The whole world is watching' as Mississippi considers Religious Freedom Restoration Act

The spotlight has turned from Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer to Mississippi’s Gov. Phil Bryant as that state considers its own Religious Freedom Restoration Act. *NSYNC’s Lance Bass, a Mississippi native, is urging Bryant to stand on the right side of history, presumably by vetoing the legislation.

Mississippi’s Senate passed the bill unanimously on Jan. 31, but as the Clarion Ledger reports, while there was brief debate, “some lawmakers are now saying they didn’t realize what was in it” — or how Lance Bass felt about it.

@LanceBass @PhilBryantMS Preach Lance. I enjoyed loving in MS, but couldn't imagine being "out" there back then.
