Frank Ocean has done the unthinkable in today’s music business. After rumors began circulating about his sexuality, the R&B singer/songwriter confirms being a bisexual in an open letter. In a time when controversy is just as important as talent, Ocean takes the poetic approach to convey feelings and truth in a touching format.

Many people believe it is your business what your sexual orientation is and there are some that would disagree. However, we commend Mr. Ocean for his bravery as a human being, instead of worrying about records sales and so fourth. As an artist, he has penned songs for today’s biggest stars including Justin Bieber, Beyonce, Jay-Z and Kanye West. We hope onlookers continue to support him for the talented artist he is, while being opened minded about his life choices. We all have choices and shouldn’t be judged!

Anyway, check out Frank’s letter:

Whoever you are, wherever you are… I’m starting to think we are a lot alike. Human beings spinning on blackness. All wanting to be seen, touched, heard, paid attention to. My loved ones are everything to me here. In the last year or 3, I’ve screamed at my creator. Screamed at clouds in the sky.

For some explanation. Mercy maybe. For peace of mind to rain like manna somehow. 4 Summers ago, I met somebody.

I was 19 years old. He was too. We spent that Summer and the Summer after, together. Everyday almost. And on the days we were together, time would glide. Most of the day I’d see him, and his smile. I’d hear his conversation and his silence.. Until it was time to sleep. Sleep I would often share with him. By the time I realized I was in love, it was malignant. It was hopeless.

There was no escaping.

No negotiating with the feeling. No choice. It was my first love. It changed my life. Back then, my mind would wander to the women I had been with. The ones I cared for and thought I was in love with. I reminisced about the sentimental songs I enjoyed when I was a teenager.

The ones I played when I experienced a girl too quickly. Imagine being thrown from a plane. I wasn’t in a plane though. I was in a Nissan Maxima. The same car I packed up with bags and drove to Los Angeles in. I sat there and told my friend how I felt. I wept as the words left my mouth. I grieved for them, know I could never take them back for myself. He patted my back. He said kind things. He did his best, but he wouldn’t admit the same.

He had to go back inside soon. I was late and his girlfriend was waiting for him upstairs. He wouldn’t tell me the truth about his feelings for me for another 3 years. I felt like I’d only imagined reciprocity for years.

Now imagine being thrown from a cliff. No. I wasn’t on a cliff. I was still in my car telling myself it was gonna be fine and to take deep breaths. I took the breaths and carried on. I kept up a peculiar friendship with him because I couldn’t imagine keeping up my life without him. I struggled to master myself and my emotions. I wasn’t always successful.

The dance went on.. I kept the rhythm for several Summers after.

It’s Winter now. I’m typing this on a plane back to Los Angeles from New Orleans. I flew home for another marred Christmas. I have a windowseat. It’s December 27, 2011. By now, I’ve written two albums. This being the second. I wrote to keep myself busy and sane.

I wanted to create worlds that were rosier than mine. I tried to channel overwhelming emotions. I’m surprised at how far all of it has taken me. Before writing this, I’d told some people my story. I’m sure these people kept me alive. Kept me safe… sincerely. These are the folks I wanna thank from the floor of my heart. Everyone of you knows who you are.. Great humans.

Probably angels. I don’t know what happens now, and that’s alright. I don’t have any secrets I need kept anymore. There’s probably some small shit still, but you know what I mean. I was never alone, as much as I felt like it..As much as I still do sometimes. I never was. I don’t think I ever could be. Thanks. To my first love, I’m grateful for you. Grateful that even though it wasn’t what I had hoped for and even though it was never enough, it was. Some things never are…And we were. I won’t forget you. I won’t forget the Summer.I’ll remember who I was when I met you.

I’ll remember who you were and how we both changed and stayed the same. I’ve never had more respect for life and living than I have right now. Maybe it takes a near death experience to feel alive.

Thanks. To my mother, you raised me strong. I know I’m only brave because you were first…So thank you. All of you. For everything good. I feel like a free man. If I listen closely, I can hear the sky falling too.

Statement From Frank Ocean

I feel like a free man. It’s time I made an announcement that’s long overdue. I’m writing this to acknowledge the fact that I’ve had relationships with both men and women – I have loved both of them in different ways, but equally deeply and truly. My hope is that my story will help others open up about who they love and leave behind any shame or fear they may be feeling.

It’s been hard to think back on all those years when this was considered taboo, but it’s important for me to share my experience so people can see how much progress has been made since then. We are now living in a more tolerant and loving world, where acceptance should be given without judgement or prejudice.

My identity isn’t something I want to hide away anymore; it’s part of who I am, and my journey through life doesn’t stop here. I look forward to continuing down this path while making sure that everyone around me feels comfortable being themselves too.

Reactions And Responses

Frank Ocean’s announcement was met with an overwhelmingly positive response from the public. People of all ages, genders, and sexual orientations came out to show their support for his courage and bravery in coming forward about his sexuality. Many celebrities have spoken up on social media as well, praising him for his honesty and expressing solidarity with those who may be struggling with similar issues.

The conversation around acceptance has been reignited by Frank’s open letter, prompting further discussion about creating a safe space for LGBTQ+ people everywhere. There is still much work to be done in terms of understanding and tolerance – but this moment serves as proof that progress is being made.

This powerful statement has resonated deeply with many individuals, providing them with hope and comfort during difficult times. It shows that no matter how hard things get, we can find strength in ourselves when we are true to who we are.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Frank Ocean’s open letter about his sexuality has been met with widespread support from the LGBTQ+ community and beyond. His courageous decision to be honest about his identity and share it with us all is an inspiring example of self-acceptance that will help many people find strength in their own journeys.

I’m so proud of what he has done – showing such bravery when it comes to discussing this topic publicly takes a lot of courage, especially considering how difficult these conversations can often be. But despite any potential backlash or criticism, he was unafraid to stand up for himself and speak out on something which means so much to him.

By doing so, Frank Ocean has made an incredible contribution towards normalising the discussion around sexuality within our society, making sure that everyone feels comfortable being who they are no matter what anyone else thinks. He should be applauded for his boldness in tackling this issue head-on, and I hope that others feel equally empowered by his words as we work together towards greater acceptance and understanding for all.
