Frank Ocean comes out
2012-07-04 by Jacob Royal STAFF | 93 Replies | 3616 Views |
In a letter that R & B musician Frank Ocean wrote in the airport, he talks about sexuality, and specifically about his first love, who was a man. This announcement precedes the release of Channel Orange, Ocean's second solo full-length; Ocean decided to release the letter now, since the album's lyrics apparently suggest bisexuality.
Read the letter here:

Syd is a lesbian, and do you really take everything they say seriously?

"Good point you're a shitty troll have a nice day."
Have I wronged you in some way? I don't believe I have. You must just be butthurt from being trolled when I wasn't trying to troll.

In bigger news
|

it's funny that he belongs to a camp that's so homophobic.

Lol, I highly doubt OF are sincerely homophobic. They just say shit to say shit.
|
| |
Just cuz people get offended when you say shit doesn't mean you're a homophobe. If they came out and were like yeah he's not in the group anymore cuz he's a homo than yeah they would be
|
| |
no they hate gay people they have also raped women
|
| |
i dont get why people assume OF is homophobic... i mean haven't we grown up at all? isnt this the same debate from MMLP back in 2002...

Hey man, that could still happen
|

Is this actually on tumblr? I've only seen this screenshot. MAYBE IT'S A PLOY TO SELL MORE ALBUMS. I MEAN HE'S OPENING UP THE LGBT COMMUNITY TO R&B BY COMING OUT.
|
| |
I get its just lyrics but I wouldn't be shocked if they were.
|
| |
"I MEAN HE'S OPENING UP THE LGBT COMMUNITY TO R&B BY COMING OUT."
logic
"no they hate gay people they have also raped women"
bahahahahhaa
|
| |
No Odd Future is genuinely homophobic, they're terrible people. They're Murders, Arsonists and have a general disregard for education.
|
| |
takes a lot of courage to open out like that to his fan-base, especially in an R&B/hip-hop community, and especially at his age.
|
| |
new respect for Frank. Good for him.

"It would be more surprising to see a list of entertainers that aren't gay. The whole music/movie industry is run by homos. Thats why Leonardo Dicaprio hasn't won an Oscar yet...Cause he's never gotten bufu'ed by a dude in a movie."
lol
|

the letter is pretty cool in itself

odd future is hipster trash

some people are genuinely unable to listen to odd future now that frank ocean is openly bisexual. you would think mongoloid christians wouldn't be listening to their constant religious slurs in the first place?
|
| |
Am I the only one that doesn't really view Frank with OF? He's so obviously more mature, it's on a whole other level. Good for him.

I don't really see Frank Ocean as a member of OF either.

good for this nigga mad 'spect
|

This takes some balls to come out with something like this. It shouldn't affect anything, but it probably will because of the human race etc.
I have even more respect for this guy now to be honest and I can't wait for the new album

STOP SAYING OFWGKTA ARE HOMOPHOBIC!!!!!!!!!
Tyler himself has cleared the air by saying:
"I'm not homophobic. I just say faggot and use gay as an adjective to describe stupid shit," and, "I'm not homophobic. I just think faggot hits and hurts people." However, he later said in an interview with MTV about the slurs, "Well, I have gay fans and they don't really take it offensive, so I don't know. If it offends you, it offends you. If you call me a nigga, I really don't care, but that's just me, personally. Some people might take it the other way; I personally don't give a shit."
|
| |
"STOP SAYING OFWGKTA ARE HOMOPHOBIC!!!!!!!!!"
stop being a homophobe apologist.
|
| |
is there any evidence that this is actually real?
I mean, if it is then good for him, but otherwise it's a pretty weird/cruel/insensitive joke...
Digging: The National - Trouble Will Find Me
|
| |
Or just something no one gives a shit about... one or the other.
|
| |
He posted that on his facebook yesterday so it's legit. That doesn't mean it's completely true though. But I think it is. Good for him.
|
| |
"is there any evidence that this is actually real?" that picture is from his Tumblr and on his Twitter he posted a link to that.
|
| |
A bag of them?
|
| |
Kinda funny since he makes a joke about being bisexual in his verse on Oldie.
|
| |
"fact is
odd future sucks dicks"
literally not figuratively because their music is still great
|
| |
i'll totally view his and OF's material completely different now. can't be loving those bands that are gay, or god gets angry.
|
| |
Never would have guessed it. Good for him "coming out" I suppose.

Well you're our window into that world Rabbit, tell us what they think
|

that you're a faggot

BOOM.

Did you just do that to your own comment? hahahaha

for the life of me i can't figure out why this is a big deal.
this seems to add to the regression of our "progressive" culture

jesus christ rosa we get it you're gay
|
| |
Ah.

"Well, I have gay fans and they don't really take it offensive, so I don't know. If it offends you, it offends you. If you call me a nigga, I really don't care, but that's just me, personally. Some people might take it the other way; I personally don't give a shit."
+1,000 for him
|
| |
The guy has some guts coming out, especially since the R&B and Hip Hop community he is accounted with isn't all too known for tolerance or support of this kind of thing. All I care about is that his music stays awesome, more power to him.
