Ricky Martin admits he used to bully gay people

Ricky Martin is looking good om the cover of Australian GQ but what’s really getting a lot of attention is the openly gay singer’s admission that he was once an anti-gay bully.

“I was very angry, very rebellious. I used to look at gay men and think, I’m not like that, I don’t want to be like that, that’s not me. I was ashamed. When you’re told you’re wrong by everyone, from society, from your faith — my self-esteem was crushed. I took my anger out on those around me….I look back now and realize I would bully people who I knew were gay. I internalized homophobia,” he added. “To realise that was confronting to me. I wanted to get away from that.”
