In this People artilce, Reichen Lehmkuhl, Lance Bass' bf, tells how he was abused in the miltary:
"Actor and model Reichen Lehmkuhl, who won season four of The Amazing Race and dates Lance Bass, was sexually assaulted while in the U.S. Air Force, he says.
Lehmkuhl, 32, tells ABC News that when he entered the Air Force Academy, he had to hide his homosexuality under the military's ‘don't ask, don't tell’ policy. But his sexual orientation was the subject of speculation until one night, he says, when he was sent a message.
‘A bag was put over my head,’ he says. ‘I was stripped of my clothes. I was forced to do things sexually with two other male cadets.’
He hit rock bottom after the incident. ‘That's when you start having suicidal thoughts,’ he says, ‘and that's when you start saying, 'Oh my God. I am so stuck in this situation. I can't go to anyone.'"
