Pete Wentz, the bassist for Fall out boy went on the record to say that he has kissed men. The self proclaimed "make out bandit" is now dating Ashlee Simpson, I'd say thats more than a step up from making out with another guy, she is super hot! He told "the Advocate" that "anything above the waist is fair game" but he's "not a big fan of pen*ses". What does everyone else think about Pete's sexuality, if he were to come out would this change the way you view him? Would you still like the band? sources from Canada.com

I personally have a soft spot for metro boys and boys who wear eyeliner. I think it's sexy when a man is comfortable crossing gender boundaries. A guy with nail polish, a woman in a tie? Both hot, in my opinion!

I definitely agree with you on that one! I like the longish hair too (like chin length) very hot!

I think Ashley's a dork -- not in a bad way. But I don't think she's all that great. I mean Penelope Cruz is hot, Shania Twain..Halle Barry..they're all gorgeous girls..I don't consider Ashley gorgeous. She's not ugly mind, and you'd never see me calling anyone ugly..I just don't think she's super pretty or anything. If Pete came out and said he was bi or gay, it wouldn't really change what I think about the band or Pete himself. They've great music, Pete's got a good voice..who cares? You know? I don't define people by their sexuality. It's like defining someone by their hair color..I don't do that, the whole judging a book by its cover thing.. All celebraties have to struggle with how they present themselves to the public. They always have to think before they decide to let the press find out who they're dating -- regardless sexuality. I'm just tired of that bullsh*t you know? It's their business, and people shouldn't really care even IF they turn out to be gay, straight, bi, or flat down disintrested.. Pete's a smart kid though, and a bit of a rebel. I think if he decided to announce whatever his sexuality is, it'd be a brave move for him and would make me admire him a bit more. It'd be bold of him if he DID decide to do so, in any case. Anyways, just my two cents, heh ^_^

Thanks for the response. I totally agree about the fact that a musicians sexuality has nothing to do with their talent or popularity. Look at Elton John, a lot of people who don't believe in anything other than heterosexuality love his music. Also, just wanted to point this out, I doubt the media would speculate about Pete at all if he weren't dating Ashlee. It seems that musicians do not get much attention (other than pop stars) until they are dating someone "popular".

I'd still like fall out boy reguardless. It wouldnt change the way I view him! If thats what makes him happy, then so be it! I dont really care for Ashlee Simpson either. But whatever floats his boat. His personal life is really none of my business. I just like their music!

Though this is the case, I'd still listen to the band. The fact that he's honest about these things will make anyone interested into listening to their music. I think what he admitted wouldn't make their music any different.

I'm sure to the girls who listen to FOB, it's not going to matter. Judging by the responses, it seems that is the case as well. I think girls care less about this than guys do. I can't speak for guys (since I am a woman), but I feel like guys would have a bigger problem with this. I know plenty of people who rip FOB, especially Pete Wentz, because he wears make up and is so confident in that. You hear to comments all the time from guys regarding Wentz's sexuality and they think they are ripping him. In reality, Wentz is with a hot girl and just doesn't care what anyone else thinks.

I will still love FOB. Their sexuality is nothing. I care more about their music. I love their music and then there comes my crush for Pat Stump. I can't really say something more on Pete's relationship with Ashley. If they go along well, then it's good. After all, Patrick said then that Pete and him were married, its just that Pete doesn't know it yet ha ha! very funny. I love them all especially Pat! =) weee!
