Exclusive @ Out: Pete Wentz says, "Yeah, I am a fag."

Sometimes the best thing about my job is that if I spend enough time here on Popnography spazzing about something or someone, I can convince the boys at the magazine to let me write about it at slightly greater length. On a really awesome day, we send a photographer along, too.

And sometimes, if that story is Pete Wentz, we put him on the cover:

"Whenever you say that homophobia is stupid, you just get called gay," Wentz tells Out in the August issue. "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. What does somebody respond?"

Read the full cover story at Out.com.

And, please, believe me when I say there is soooo much more where that came from. More photos, more quotes, and more ample evidence of what I like to call the Wentz Effect. Check back at Popnography and Out.com all next week.

Out, the magazine working to undermine gay people. You not only put a straight person on the cover for the trillionth time and have that person tell what gay people are you also put a dergatory word for gay people on the cover. The message to gay people is straight people are the deciders of everything and are more valuable than you.

If Pete wants to claim his queerfabulousity, I am all for that. Who cares if he's married, he's still willing to claim his image and take some super hot photos for Out!

in England we have this thing called "self depreciating humor",
for most Americans it is beyond them, and they don't get it, but some do (pete wentz for example)
all he is doing, is making a statement that he doesn't care about everyone who slagged him off for been "gay",
even though he has a wife and kid,
and who cares anyway, why should someones sexuality make a difference to how you treat them.
