Frank Ocean Opens Up About His Sexuality

Earlier this week, rumors emerged that some lyrics on Frank Ocean's upcoming Channel Orange indicate his bisexuality. While no lyrics have been cited, it appeared to be likely that this whole affair has been created by the creative imagination of the digital sphere. However, Frank took things to his Tumblr to comment on this subject matter and published a screenshot of a text document written on a computer. The document is titled "thank you's," and was written in December of 2011 while Frank was on a plane from New Orleans to Los Angeles.

Written in an open letter style, the note recounts his story of meeting a guy a few years ago and falling in love with him, labelling him his as his "first love." While the outcome of this coming out has yet to be seen, it is a sincere display of honesty that has to be respected and shall be applauded. It is 2012 after all. Read below.

If your going to be gay, what I dont respect are the undercover homos who be posing as strait guys... Doing their dumb shit and blaming us hetro's for it.. i.e. dudes that go to strip clubs and want to shoot up the joint, only because they are tight because they are afraid they gonna get exposed by the female strippers, or homos who act real aggressive towards women almost attacking them so that all the females are frighten away and now the joint is mostly dudes..
See a dude acting like this his is most likely the type of homo I despise of!

 

[Rock'Em Sock'Em Jones]

Is this shit real or some kinda stunt???

 

[Rick Ronson]

Bubble.

you one of them......y'all talk all this pride shit but for real...

I always thought he had a few questionable lyrics:

"my eyes don't shed tears, but boy-de-boy when I'm thinkin' bout you..."

"I'm high and I'm by (bi), wait I mean I'm straight..."

"You run my mind, boy, Forrest Gump..."

Maybe I'm reaching, but I don't know, maybe he's been trying to come out the closet this whole time.

 

[ScottyPiffen745]

I wonder how dude who's the big Frank Ocean fan is going to react. Dude had him in his sig, avatar and posts his music every chance he gets.

How did Riley from the Boondocks react once he found out Gangsterlicous was gay.

 

[Rick Ronson]

I'm not homophobic like a lot of you guys, so my feelings about dude and his music remain the same.

I'm not homophobic either but I don't want to hear no songs about his love for another nigga. That's just real shit. I don't want to hear R. Kelly telling 15 year old girls "Age ain't Nothin' but a Number" either.

 

[mangobob79]

some of these new jacks dont know how to handle fame and notoriety! who the fuck is this guy's handler? why cant they tell him to keep his shit on the lowlowlow and just do music ? niggahs always want eXtra Drama attention! i personally really dig his music but this shit is a bad business move even if hes bi and not totally gay its still a bad biznizz move, --look at Luther..CLASS ALL THE WAY.. FREDDIE.?....CLASS...EVEN QUESTIONABLE MAXWELL...CLASS,,, BOY GEORGE AND ELTON (REMEMBER THEY'RE WHITE )BUT NO!! THIS FOOL GOT A LITTLE PLAY AND NOW HE WANTS TO TAKE OFF THE WHOLE MACHINERY TO BE SUPER-HYPER-SENSITIVE-CREATIVE NIGGAH...

IM ACTUALLY MAD., NOT AT HIM BEING BI- BUT CHOOSING TO DO THIS B4 HIS RECORD DROPS, B4 HES HAD A CHANCE TO SOLIDIFY HIS SHIT ..GUESS HE JUST COULDNT WAIT

but they will still call u homophobic

 

[Complex]

He's gay, big deal. Won't be the first and won't be the last.

Listening to his music won't make you gay too.

I respect your opinion, but I wouldn't compare being gay to being a pedophile.

I don't want to hear R.Kelly sing to 12 year olds either, but I do enjoy some of Boy George and George Micheal's music. Same goes for Elton John. I'm pretty sure Luther was a homo, too, doesn't stop me from banging his shit.




For the record, I'm not a Frank Ocean fan by any stretch of the imagination. I'm just saying his sexual orientation doesn't matter to me.

The question is would you bump his shit, if he were to start singing about guys butts and other homo shit..

I'm not comparing the two. I'm simply saying there are some things I simply can't hear in music. I just don't want to hear it in music. I've never heard Luther Vandross say no gay shit on record.

I'm a Frank Ocean fan. I fucks with his music. And I will continue to listen to it long as it continues to be the same Frank Ocean i've bumping.

My point is, if he starts talking about his love for another man on record? That's where I draw the line.

Its not different than Nicki Minaj to me. I don't listen to her ass because I don't want to hear rap about fucking some nigga.

In regards to what he does in his personal life? I could careless. I already know he's not the only one out there. Just the only one admitting it.

 

[dtownsfinest]

EXACTLY. He's bringing up examples like Luther but shit I don't recall Luther singing about no homo shit.

That's the slippery slope you go down when you accept a persons sexuality; but hell no. I wouldn't be comfortable hearing graphic tales of guy-guy love escapades.

Well I misunderstood your original point then.

Yea he never said nothing explicitly gay. Gay dudes from his era were much more discreet; Sylvester notwithstanding.

This that dude yall young dudes was co-signing on?

Frank born and raised in New Orleans.


New Orleans has probably the third largest gay black male population after ATL and DC, maybe 4th if you include NYC. Shit is blatant but people don't believe. Even the straight women call their "straight" boyfriends "trade".

Ask one of them...
