FRANK OCEAN

The talented up-and-coming musician Frank Ocean, best known for his association with hip hop collective OFWGKTA and his Grammy Award-winning album and collaboration, first addressed his sexuality in an open letter on his Tumblr in early 2012. He mentioned unrequited feeling that he’d had for another young man when he was 19 years old and has received a great deal of support from other musicians for his courage.

    There is no gay or straight. It’s normal or abnormal. Same sex is abnormal and should not be condoned in our society. It’s ashame that so many blacks are following in lockstep with Obama.

    The way I see it: every person is bisexual not one every single one of them, famous or not! There is always those females who “experiment” with women then go back to men, those females that start off with men then go to women, those females that start with women then go to men or those men who are with women first then go to men, men first then women or both at the same time. It happens, sad but true. In today’s society people just don’t care because the way they see it is it is just another hole to them and it all feels the same. I love all my bisexuals in the world! Don’t be ashamed of what you are, own it and own it proudly!
