Now that Lance Bass is reportedly "locked and loaded" to participate in Dancing with the Stars' seventh season, whether or not the openly gay former N'Sync member will have a male partner has become a hot topic of conversation.

While Burke might not think the viewing public is prepared for two men dancing on television, Dancing with the Stars first-season celebrity champ Kelly Monaco disagrees.
"If you want to shock the world and give them something new, I think it's fantastic," Monaco told E! News. "I support it 100%!"
Not surprisingly, Monaco's stance is also supported by gay media watchdog group GLAAD.
"ABC has shown an admirable commitment to representing gay people on many of their most popular shows," a GLAAD rep told E! News in a statement. "We hope they continue to build on that in the future."
Dancing with the Stars seventh season will premiere with a special two-hour performance episode on Monday, September 22 at 8PM ET/PT.
ABC will formally reveal the show's seventh-season cast during Good Morning America's August 25 broadcast.
