Ricky Martin looks smoking hot on the cover of this month's GQ Australia. In excerpts released by the magazine, the Latin singer got candid about his past, revealing that he used to bully other gay people when he was younger, as he tried to hide who he was.
'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,” Ricky told the magazine. “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 had internalized homophobia. To realize that was confronting to me,” he added. “I wanted to get away from that.”
