Frank Ocean Opens Up About Coming Out
In an exclusive interview with The Guardian, the singer addresses his decision to come out on Tumblr saying, “I’m happy when I wake up in the morning.”
“[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,” he told the paper.
“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.”
“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.”
The Guardian will publish the entire interview on Saturday, July 21st. Read the rest of their preview here.

boweryboy 10 months agoDid he actually come out and say he’s gay? The last I heard he admitted to falling in love with a man in his past. I don’t recall him actually saying he’s gay. Then again I haven’t been following this story closely. He could be bisexual. In any case, good for him for having the stones to even admit that.
