Frank Ocean Comes Out as Gay On New Album??

A day after Anderson Cooper came out as gay, another well known celebrity has reportedly come out through his new album. Frank Ocean, Odd Future crooner and Watch the Throne collaborator, supposedly came out as gay on his new album, "Channel Orange". The songs "Pink Matter", "Bad Religion", and "Forrest Gump" all have references to a person he's in love with, except he uses the pronoun him instead of she.

This news will come as a shock to many, but it's a step in the right direction for gay men and the gay community. Visibility in the community, especially in the hip hop diaspora is important, making it easier and more comfortable for others to follow in Ocean's footsteps. "Channel Orange" drops on July 17.

Were you shocked to hear Frank Ocean is gay?

This is nothing new, for a group of people who want to be judged by the content of our character and not skin, we sure do like to judge others by who they fuck, or don't fuck. All we have to do is look at history, it will tell you that many of our most revered artists were homo or bi. The Harlem Renaissance for example was just as gay as it was Black, and if I'm not mistaken it helped progress us further as a people...Open your minds, live and let live.

He kind of looks like Kanye in some of those photos. As for Andersen Cooper, only Maddona didn't know he was gay. I dont know much about this guy so I can't comment on his status but he is talking about himself in thrid person context. Its so sad everyone wants everyone to be gay now. WTF I guess we heterosexual will be the minority. There goes the end of the human race. Two man and two woman can have children if they are true to their relationships. So sad how everything has to be accepted now or forced upon.

Just to inform people. Album reviews have stated that these songs were written from perspective of women. "Forrest Gump" is about a woman tracking down Ocean". This bitch blogger just wanted some attention.
