Wentz Gets 'Out' With Gay Taunts
01 July 2008
Pete Wentz has appeared on the cover of gay magazine 'Out', declaring himself a "fag".Pete said that despite the fact that he's now an expectant father married to Ashlee Simpson, he still gets called the derogatory term on a regular basis.
"Whenever you say that homophobia is stupid, you just get called gay," Pete said. "There is a sense of self-empowerment or recapturing who you are by people calling you 'fag' and being like 'Yeah, I am a fag', even though you're not!"
Wentz told Out that he was bullied and called 'gay' for years growing up, and despite all his musical success and heterosexual relationships, it still happens.
"When I'm going down the street I get called a fag all the time. We have iPhones, and I'm still getting called the same names as when I was 13!" Pete marveled.
Pete, however, has probably embellished the rumours occasionally; he's often bragged about kissing other men, but says: "When I said that I make out with dudes, there was a slight sense of sexual rebellion in that... and I probably even made it a bigger deal than it was."
