"Ricky Martin has revealed that he used to bully gay people when he was younger. The 41-year-old singer - who came out as gay in 2010 - explained to GQ Australia that he struggled with his sexuality as a youngster.  &amp;quot;I look back now and realise I would bully people who I knew were gay,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;I had internalised homophobia. To realise that was confronting to me. I wanted to get away from that.&amp;quot; Martin stated that his Roman Catholic upbringing led to him acting against his own feelings. &amp;quot;I was very angry, very rebellious. I used to look at gay men and think, &amp;#039;I&amp;#039;m not like that, I don&amp;#039;t want to be like that, that&amp;#039;s not me&amp;#039;. I was ashamed,&amp;quot; the singer explained. &amp;quot;When you&amp;#039;re told you&amp;#039;re wrong by everyone, from society, from your faith - my self-esteem was crushed. I took my anger out on those around me.&amp;quot;  Martin added that becoming a father to twin boys Matteo and Valentino changed the way he looks at the world. &amp;quot;I didn&amp;#039;t want them growing up in a house of lies\u00E2\u20AC\u00A6 or thinking that there was something wrong with being gay,&amp;quot; he said.
