Frank Ocean Speaks About His Sexuality

Ever since Frank Ocean revealed his bisexuality through this letter, there has been lots of discussion between fans, blogs, and news sites. His friends and family have shown obvious signs of support, but Frank has remained quiet for the most part. Until now, that is. In an upcoming interview with The Guardian Guide, Frank will tell us all about it. The interview will be released in it’s entirety tomorrow, but for now, here are some excerpts from the interview.

[It was] about my own sanity and my ability to feel like I’m living a life where … I’m happy when I wake up in the morning, and not with this freakin’ boulder on my chest.

I wished at 13 there was somebody I looked up to who would have said something like that, who would have been transparent in that way.

I knew that I was writing in a way that people would ask questions,” he said. “I knew that my star was rising, and I knew that if I waited I would always have somebody that I respected be able to encourage me to wait longer, to not say it till who knows when.

People are just afraid of things too much … Sure, evil exists, extremism exists. Somebody could commit a hate crime and hurt me. But they could do the same just because I’m black. They could do the same just because I’m American.
