Frank Ocean comes out

2012-07-04 by Julianna Reed EMERITUS | 82 Comments
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:

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.

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 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.

"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."

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.

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."

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.
