Pete Wentz: 'I made out with guys'

Pete Wentz has revealed that he used to "make out" with guys as a form of sexual rebellion.

The Fall Out Boy rocker, 29, said that he often refers to himself as "half gay" and described homophobia as "the last acceptable hatred".

"People treat sexuality the same way that [during] Jim Crow [white] people treated African-Americans... It's totally dehumanised," he told Out magazine.

Commenting on his experiences with men, Wentz said: "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."

Wentz, who married Ashlee Simpson in May, said that the last time he kissed a man was when he was 22.
