Odd Future's Frank Ocean opens up about his sexuality
After heavy speculation, Frank Ocean has come out as bisexual or gay. The singer and Odd Future member posted a long bit of text on his Tumblr that he says was originally intended as the liner notes for his upcoming Channel Orange. Prompted by journalists questioning his use of masculine pronouns on some of the record's love songs, Ocean details how the much of the record was inspired by his falling in love with a man when he was 19, then addresses how he’s been dealing with it since. He ends the post—where, it’s worth noting, he never explicitly says he’s gay or bisexual—by saying “I feel like a free man. If I listen closely…I can hear the sky falling too.”
