!FRANK OCEAN!
Frank Ocean has
recently, openly been discussing his sexuality without getting any false
humility from him about it and thats what the article is mainly about.
There is a bunch
of details and quotes that goes along with this article. Frank Ocean wrote a
long letter. One of the things in his letter wrote "The night I posted it,
I cried like a f–king baby. It was like all the frequency just clicked to a
change in my head. All the receptors were now receiving a different signal, and
I was happy. I hadn't been happy in so long. I've been sad again since, but
it's a totally different take on sad. There's just some magic in truth and
honesty and openness."
This was such a
tough moment for Frank, especially with what he does for a living! The hip-hop
community isn’t typically welcoming to gays, and the singer worried that his
career would be over! But it wasn’t. Frank said "I had those fears. In
black music, we've got so many leaps and bounds to make with acceptance and
tolerance in regard to that issue. It reflects something just ingrained. When I
was growing up, there was nobody in my family—not even my mother—who I could
look to and be like, 'I know you've never said anything homophobic.' So, you
know, you worry about people in the business who you've heard talk that way.
Some of my heroes coming up talk recklessly like that.Frank Ocean said he would
not label his sexuality as gay, he said you cant feel like a box nor a label.
I feel as though
if this is what he wants to be and do then so be it. He is happy and thats all
that matters. He was brave enough to
come out the closet and tell everyone which is really hard especially being a
famous person with a kind of different world.
This
is similar to Queen Latifa. Shes gay and she proposed to her best friend.
The
questions I still have are Does he have a boyfriend now? How is his life now
that everyone knows the truth?
Good post. Be sure to include a link to the article when you write a choice blog. 85
