I had a sitcom with The CW at the time, and we were about to shoot the pilot and this came out and they were like, 'We can't do the show anymore. Like, they have to believe that you're straight to play a straight character.'
Every casting director I knew, they're like, 'Lance, we can't cast you because they can't look past... You're too famous for being gay now that they can't look at you as anything other than that.' So, I lost everything.
It was a crazy, scary situation because all the examples I've ever had of anyone coming out, especially in entertainment, was that it's a career killer. You're dead. Everything - your career's over.
