UPDATE: Queerty reader Christopher turned us to Lance Bass' apologetic column explaining his use of the word and how the gay media likes to pounce whenever a celebrity uses a slur.

Twitter has become the way for public figures to quickly apologize for saying anti-LGBT things. GQ used Twitter to apologize for saying that Adam Lambert had a "testosterone problem;" hip-hop performer JoJo tweeted his mea culpa for saying ->-bleeped-<-got and Neil Patrick Harris tweeted his regrets when he said ->-bleeped-<-s on TV too.

Well now perpetual pop man-child Lance Bass has used the micro-blogging site to do the same.
