Brave motherfucker (or is that fatherfucker?)

http://blogs.independent.co.uk/2012/07/05/frank-oceans-brave-decision-in-the-macho-world-of-urban-music/

In the über-macho and hetero-centric world of urban music, particularly in hip-hop, coming out as gay or bisexual isn’t exactly an everyday occurrence. So Frank Ocean’s decision to publish a heartfelt open letter on his Tumblr site this week revealing that his first love was in fact a man has significant implications.

in fact a very large number of people do give fucks about Anderson cooper because although it was widely known, he was more commenting on the public's need for private-life gossip about news casters when it can only sway their opinion of the caster which shouldn't have anything to do with delivering unbiased news.

he came out because he decided that not publicly acknowledging it was becoming a bigger issue than doing so, despite the fact that he doesn't believe anything about his private life should be a part of his job.

But the reality is; newscasting is biased, and how much you trust your newscaster is how much you believe they are delivering the whole story.

Thorpey has been with guys i reckon. His reaction to questions in the interview (from what i perceived) seemed to indicate that. IIRC he responded that he prefers sleeping with females which isnt a 100% straight man's answer IMO. Who cares though, let him fuck who he wants.

Homophobe. If it wasn't for worrying that reducing intimacy with my partner, i'd rather sleep alone. Does that make me gay, or is it that i LIKE SLEEP.

Im just kidding, it makes me gay.

Its not the fact that hes Gay that annoys ppl like me.
Its that he pretends he isnt to get a benefit out of it.
I dont like Fakes.

Apparantly hes now flat broke so his "persona" hasnt worked for him.
Maybe he needs to think about changing that persona.

Im no homophobe, skythra. As i said, he should be able to fuck who he wants without being criticised. I just think a big deal is being made about it because he refuses to come clean with the absolute truth. I know what you mean about sleeping solo but this was in relation to sex. As in does he prefer fucking men or women and it seemed as if he paused to think and then decided women he preferred more. If hes tried both sexes i dont see why he just doesnt come clean and be done with it, surely it isnt a big deal.

I dont care. The media just keeps making a deal about it and i think its a good idea for him just to explain everything and be done with the issue. TBH im sick of hearing about thorpie's sex life and i think clearing the air would end it all. None of this pussyfooting about.
