When speaking with The Advocate recently, Pete Wentz kind of, sort of won me over. I honestly had never heard of him until pictures of his dong showed up on the Internet and then just assumed he was your run-of-the-mill annoying emo kid pretending to be sensitive, while boinking as many girls as humanly possible to make up for his "tortured" high-school years. And maybe he is, but at least he's not homophobic.
You've also said that people who aren't a fan of yours will sometimes call you an antigay slur. Why is that? I don't know. I think it's a real cheap, easy word. In high school it bothered me a lot when it got yelled at me and stuff, but it's completely unoffensive to me now--it doesn't hurt. But when I think about my friends who are gay and that it does bother them, that's when it bums me out.He also goes on to say that "Fall Out Boy" has a song on import versions of their "Infinity on High" album entitled, "Gay Isn't a Synonym for the Word 'Shitty''" and that might have been the tipping point for me.
Any friend of the gays is a friend of mine.

Find out how Pete feels about making out with boys and his views on the penis after the jump...
More excerpts from his interview with The Advocate:
You made a lot of gay fans happy when you admitted that you'd kissed boys because "anything above the waist is fair game." [Laughs] I actually mean it. That's just kind of how I am. I'm a little bit of a make-out king. I don't discriminate too much.Do make-out opportunities present themselves often?
Not really, because the traits that I find attractive in people are so bizarre. Like, you have to be really pretty, but you also have to have a brain. Those two often don't go hand in hand.What's the closest you've ever come to taking the boy-on-boy action to the next level?
I haven't really ever gotten that close, 'cause honestly, I'm not a real big fan of penises. Like my own, whenever I look at it, I just don't find anything attractive about it. I can't believe girls are into it. It blows my mind a little bit. So that's the biggest problem. I'd love to share clothes with a dude and have all those benefits, but I just can't get past that thing. It's just weird-lookin'.Penises aside, any dude crushes?
I don't have an issue finding guys attractive. I was with my friend last night watching The Prestige and she's like, "Christian Bale is so hot." And I'm like, "Yeah, that's a good-looking dude." There's nobody specific, but if you just named off dudes I could tell you if I thought they were hot or not.
MJK says:
I always thought Pete was a little douche, BUT that was until i just noticed that he has the Wizard Howl tattooed on his left arm and Jack Skellington on his right arm.
Damn me if that ain't cool!!!!
mike says:
He's just a douche with two cool tattoos.
Ani says:
I'm the first to admit without shame that I have an unnatural love for FOB. I dunno why - I think it appeals to the high school fan girl hiding inside me... but dammit if those little trolls can't put together a catchy tune.
Confession: I listen to TTTYG at full blast when I'm in my car. Sending Postcards From a Plane Crash (Wish You Were Here) is such a bitter song <3

Paige says:

nerd says:
nah he hasnt got 37 of them. thats just the one tree hill speaking, love. also he is kind of a bad bass player, he doesnt take out the rhythm, more like smacks the strings. however he is great and the statement above if any, truly proves he has a brain.
plus he has done alot for the bipolar kids.
