Frank Ocean opens up on sexualityR&B singer and hip-hop artist Frank Ocean is the latest celebrity to open up about his sexuality, revealing to fans in a post on his Tumblr that his first love was a man. The 24-year-old singer, who is also a member of the rap collective Odd Future, indicated that he'd originally intended to tell fans in the liner notes of his upcoming album, “Channel Orange,” but as rumors began to swirl he put a post on his Tumblr page instead.
“4 summers ago, I met somebody,” the singer wrote, referencing chatter that some of the love songs on his new album are about a man. “I was 19 years old. He was too. We spent that summer, and the summer after, together. Every day almost. And on the days we were together, time would glide. Most of the day I’d see him, and his smile." Ocean continued, “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 to the women I had been with, the ones I cared for and thought I was in love with." Ocean also expressed pain that the man he had feelings for “wouldn’t tell the truth about his feelings for me for another 3 years.” He indicated that he kept the friendship going even as he struggled with their relationship. Now, he said, he’s free. “I don’t have any secrets I need kept anymore … I was never alone, as much as it felt like it," he wrote. "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." The lead member and co-founder of Odd Future, Tyler, the Creator, went on Twitter early Wednesday to express his support for Ocean. |

Hi my friend! I wish to say that this post is amazing, nice written and include almost all significant infos. I'd like to look extra posts like this .
Hi, i feel that i noticed you visited my web site so i came to ?go back the favor?.I'm attempting to to find things to improve my website!I guess its adequate to use a few of your ideas!!
Fantastic issues altogether, you simply won a new reader. What could you recommend about your put up that you made a few days ago? Any certain?
Go Frank! I just hope your fans won't view you differently. To me, you are and will be an amazing singer:-)
America = Sodom
We are proud of U Farank.
Who??
the F A G G O T S are coming out of the woodwork
Dear troll,
Please go f*** yourself.
They're everywhere, and you just don't know it. You probably interact with more than one on a daily basis, and have no clue.
Deal with it, junior.
wow
Who the hell is Frank Ocean, and who cares?!!
Hello folks. Everyone is invited to visit ... thestarofkaduri.com
Tired of seeing your sh!t jack, go wh0re yourself somewhere else
Stop spamming the blog with your garbage.
As I've said about Anderson Cooper and all of the other "artists" who have recently come out: WHO CARES? If I was trolling for him, I'd be woozy with joy at the announcement, but on the whole, it makes NO DIFFERENCE WHATSOEVER. As long as everyone makes such a freakin' big deal about it, it will continue to be a divisive issue. This is almost the same as the crapola foisted upon us by Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, except they didn't have to worry about telling anyone they're black. They just play the Race Card every time something happens that they don't like, much like a spoiled kid who loses at kickball taking his ball and going home. Too bad they won't just go home and leave us alone.
Kelly51, lets discuss the many gay artists who are still alive and doing great work shall we? You name 2 celebrites that died who are gay (liberace didn't die of aids) and you think that makes a point?
MARABOU22 you're such a swishy f a g g o t aren't you
Jesus accepted people of ALL types,true, but he did NOT accept their sinning ways! Duh! Why do you think he said "..go and SIN NO MORE!" He wouldn't be open and affirming to depravity like the sodomite bullies are. You have the choice to pick the path to heaven or hell but you can't have it both ways-live a godless decadent life then think the pearly gates are gonna swing wide open for ya.
Technically, you can have it both ways if you lead a life of sin then, on your death bed and in true humility and love, you repent and ask for God's eternal forgiveness.
On another note, I don't think Jesus spoke English so directly quoting him loses its impact.
I love it Rick!! He also was not white, so all you white people, and a few of you blacks, stop pretending Jesus is a reflection of your ethnicity.
For all of you who says God hates gays, please stop speaking for him. God hates SIN! Never the Sinner...
Amen
Seriously. Does anyone know if Bristol Palin is still shacked up with those two black guys?
So many narrow minded people in one location....
everyone else but you I assume.
I don't know who this guy is but the way he speaks of his first love is very eloquent, which I didn't expect from a rapper. He might want to consider writing love songs.
He's not a rapper!!! He's a singer and this post came about in response to the love songs that he writes, LOL!
He does write love songs. He's more of an R&B singer than a rapper. he raps a little here and there but mostly he's a singer.
You have to read the whole article he is an r&b singer.. originally of odd future wolfgang..he's sung chorus's for Kanye and Jigga (jay-z) quite recently..now your hip :).. rappers are people with intelligent ways of expressing emotions as well as conga drummers/ latin jazz pianists/ southern rock artists.. everybody can speak eloquently its 2012.
He does in fact has written many love songs for other well known artist that is why he is the topic of discussion (which the majority people on this list know nothing about ... sad, so much hate on this page – "not you though").
Dee you and your sodomite pals just proved my point. You can't refute what I'm claiming. You whining cry babies demand anti-bullying laws around the country then go around the country bullying others because they don't celebrate your depravity. The proof is all there on youtube. And everyone that disagrees with the "gay" deathstyle is NOT a hater idiot!
I'm a whie, straight, middle class women. I would love to see anti-bullying laws enacted across this land. Nobody should be bullied in this country. And I hate to tell you this, you are a HATER!
Hey Carl, when you and other straight people engage in sodomy, does it make you gay? Get a clue.
Gay people are asking for trouble by being gay. It's wrong and it's sick. Gay people should be incarce rated
First off, who the hell is this guy? Secondly, why should I care that he likes takin' it up the a**?
This must be open gay season
Who says he takes it that way? Not every gay man does. Or have you been in a room where he has done so, and are admitting it as a witness (or possibly as a participant).
Have fun riding the Hershey's spillway.
No one can answer this one: Why is it that the sodomites are the biggest advocates of anti- bullying laws but are some of the biggest bullies in the country! Don't believe me? Ask anyone who has been a supporter for normal marriage (1 man, 1 woman). Go on youtube and look at the sodomite bullies at a pro-marriage rally and see the idoits for yourself!
The fact that you use the word "sodomites" means you are probably religious and in my book automatically biased against gay people. How's that for generalizing. If you don't like it don't do it. There's nothing "compassionate" about you.
He proclaimed as he proceeded to bully an entire segment of the population. With Chistians like you, who needs the devil?
I'm not a sodomite. Been married 15 years to a beautiful wife. But I take issue with the likes of you saying that only pepooe who fit YOUR idea of normal should be given this "right". You need to change your handle to "Biggotted idiot" instead. Yes, i am being a bully. Because you are the worst kind of bully. One who only sees flaws in others.
Awwwwww. Can I get a "Thug Hug"??? Lol.
I think you have to be gay if you rap because if you think about it you are really just talking while some other untalented reject presses the play button on the record machine.
Yeahhhhh you obviously don't know much about the genre. People don't sample as much as they used to but actually write music using keyboards and drum machines. good rappers are wordsmiths and poets. also frank ocean isn't a rapper he's an R&B singer and songwriter.
Odd, I thought all rappers were pretty gay.....so why is it that the one that admits it is a guy no one has ever heard of?
"No one has heard of". that's awefully presumptious. Just cause you haven't heard of him. I had a heck of time trying to get tickets to his sold out show last fall and just barely got tickets to his upcoming show before that one sold out. also anyone who's heard that very popular radio hit No Church in the Wild by kanye west and jay z have heard him singing.
I don't even know who he is, and already he's annoying me.
WHo cares if he is Gay, its his life, i hate when ppl talk about being gay is wrong and you're going to go to hell, ppl must hve forgot the part in the bible where it says DO NOT JUDGE!! what about the rapist or the killer or the pedafile or cheater or women beater or the ppl in the church preaching lies and getting paid or the government squeezing every penny out of you.. and you want to worry about a gay man who hasn't hurt anyone!!! this world is sad and stupid, come on ppl, pls be smarter lol...
Shut up.. stop trying to take people to hell with you!
I am not religious so I am permitted to judge all I want without being a hypocrite....that being said, religious people are friggin psycho ret-ards that need to commit suicide for the well being of everyone else....
Why don't you stop trolling?
Hello folks. Everyone is invited to visit – thestarofkaduri.com
What I want to know: WHO IS FRANK OCEAN????
Great question!
AMEN.... who is this guy????? Does he need some free press?
He needs some press coverage for something,.. anything, with his upcoming album getting ready to release.
****FLASHING NEWS****
I'M NOT GAY; I'M STRAIGHT. I CANT IMAGINE MAKING LOVE TO A MAN.. SO SICKENING. AC GETS BANGED UP EVERY NIGHT I GUESS; ALONG WITH FRANK. I JUST DONT GET IT. I GUESS GAY MEN GET A KICK OUT OF PLAYING DICK FIGHT (SIMILAR TO SWORD FIGHTING)...
And yet you're visualizing it. Mmm-hmm.
OMG.. I have never heard it put in that term... WOW.... LOL
every aspect of your comment says otherwise.....caps lock, font, phrasing, figures of speech all suggest that you are very much a gay man in denial....
Of course the thought of it would repulse you since your not gay. DUH!! My advice to you is stop picturing it or even thinking about it because quite frankly it's none of your business. Just live and let live eh!
You are an i-d-i-o-t. Seriously.
And I can't imagine volunteering to be hit repeatedly on the face and risk brain damage, but there are guys lining up for a chance to do just that (boxing, ultimate fighting). But there you are.
Just stop a moment and think before attacking people. Just sayin'
CNN: the "news" agency which feels as though every gay person's story is news-worthy.
You can always hang out on FOX instead...where every gay person gets bashed regularly.
Heat 101 – education. Get some.
I am sorry...but i could not resist posting this again.... "I am thinking about selling my youngest daughter into slavery as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. She's a graduate from a university here in so Cal, a senior who speaks fluent Spanish and French and German, always helped to do the cleaning even when it was her not her turn. What would a good price for her be?" ...Exodus 21:7 "When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she shall not go free as male slaves do."
"Some of the people who I work with, work on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly says he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself or is it okay to call the police?"...Exodus 35:2 .."On six days work may be done, but the seventh day shall be sacred to you as the sabbath of complete rest to the LORD. Anyone who does work on that day shall be put to death."....You can pick and choose what you want to use to support your narrow-minded beliefs.
dustydog.... I love it! ppl are willing to use the bible to beat other ppl to hell and will just IGNORE the other parts of the bible. The bible clearly describes the Jews as a warring nation, that went about destroying other ppl in the name of God. If what they want to think is backed up with some obscure passage in the bible, then they will quote the mess out of that part, BUT will say... 'well, uh, ummm, well ummmm' when other not some pleasant passages are brought up.
Please go back and read New Testement the Book Of Romans Chapter 1. You can not pick and choose want you want to believe the word of God. You believe all or none at all. Jesus loves sinner like you and I but not the sin. God bless
Jesus love you he can purify you!

What if I don't need 6 days to get the work done? Does this god have a punishment for me if I don't work on day 6? what about day 5? How about if it's my daughter's birthday, can I take that day off? Does her being a slave have any effect on the birthday party plans?
@Soright ILY.
Gay is wrong they should go back in the closet.. it is pro life abomination!
Never gonna happen. Sucks to be you.
Who? The school teacher who lived across the street from us when I was growing up was a gay dude. His name was Mr. Robertson. Does he count.
Brave way to live, being so truthful.
Frank, give your heart to Jesus and you will be whole and pure man. God loves you.
Who says he hasn't? You don't know his religious beliefs. In fact, we probably don't want to know yours either. Things like that are best to kept to yourself.
Amen brother
Go back to Mexico you wetback. How does the ignorant hate feel when directed at you? Or maybe you bully gay people to take the heat off latinos.
I don't even know who this kid is. I especially don't care that he is gay. Gay are becoming the number one whiners in this country, I'm beginning to dislike gays because I'm tired of our government focusing on gay rights rather than fixing our economy, I know let's have another gay party at the white house! Because that's what matters in this country just keep the gays and minoirities happy.
Dude, ummm "You're" whining.
I agree. I'm exhausted with how many people are revealing their secret. If you're gay, great. I'm straight and no one cares.
Absolutely!
While gays are falling out of the closet in spades the rest of us keep our private lives just that – PRIVATE. Yaaaawn!
lol, ghey
If "your kind" didn't always worry about "your kind", maybe the other kinds wouldn't have to worry about "their kind". Dig?
U LEAVE...!!! Now Who gives a damn about how U feel..........LEAVE..!
Safe to say nobody will EVER work with him again in Hip Hop...
He should have kept his "preferences" to himself...
WHY should he keep it to himself? Part of the problem in the Black community is that it wants to keep it quiet and that has led to a lot of hurt in many, many families and DON"T tell me that YOU don't have anyone in your family who is not gay or are you just naive?
Keeping it quiet is also a leading factor in why we hear about abuse cases so much later in life. Keeping this kind of thing a "secret" causes additional harm.
Guess yo missed the part about the leader of his band coming out in support of him.
Sure it will push away some people, but others, not so much. I've never heard of the kid so I've no idea if he's got talent or not but today's a different day in entertainment. You just never know.
The rest of them should come out instead of DLing..................LOL
Some folks in R & B and hip hop may surprise you. Open your eyes and be a little less quick to judge.
Proper respect to Frank
II agree. Who?
Who?
Leviticus 20:13 – "If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads."
More stories from the fairy tale book.
The bible says a lot about hypocrites, too. If you drag that Leviticus book out to swing like a weapon at somebody else, you'd better be prepared to live by its exact words, yourself…and unless you're an Orthodox Jew, that's unlikely.
Regardless of your intent, you leave a bad taste in the mouth of anybody considering religion.
Absolutely. The word of God.
And the laws of reproduction. Anything contrary is WRONG.
Leviticus is old Testament Law and Jesus' death freed us from following those laws. If we still followed old testament laws we'd be able to own slaves and kill disobedient children. Get over it.
Krister Stendahl: "If you look at the whole chapter, a lot of things come in for capital punishment that no Southern Baptist would argue that capital punishment is appropriate for. So their reading is a little selective." Have your read the whole chapter and book of Leviticus that you quote??
Matt. 7:1 "Do not judge, or you too will be judged."
John 8:7 "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone ..."
Are you living in the real world? Your "Book of Love" also says this 🙁 Leviticus sure did have a lot to say) " However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way." (Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT)
Heat101 –
Leviticus 19:27 reads "You shall not round off the side-growth of your heads nor harm the edges of your beard."
Leviticus 11:8, which is discussing pigs, reads "You shall not eat of their flesh nor touch their carcasses; they are unclean to you."
Leviticus 19:19 reads, "You are to keep My statutes. You shall not breed together two kinds of your cattle; you shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed, nor wear a garment upon you of two kinds of material mixed together."
Leviticus 11:10 reads, "But whatever is in the seas and in the rivers that does not have fins and scales among all the teeming life of the water, and among all the living creatures that are in the water, they are detestable things to you."
So unless you have gone your life without shaving your face, eating pork, playing football, wearing synthetic fiber clothes, or eating genetic hybrid foods and shellfish, keep your Leviticus quotes to yourself.
I'm pretty sure that's part of Sharia law as well. Good thing people like you don't rule the world.
What a disgusting book you follow.
Put 50 gay men on an island soon or later they will be instinct, gays our pro life which is abomination.. keep your children away they want everyone to be like them cause of their shameful sin..
Yeah yeah, we know.

Tired old bullcrap.
This is where hypocrisy live in Christianity. How can you go from "Thou Shalt not kill" to Man who lays with man should be killed, head chopped off.
Someone elses sin is not yours. Don't judge lest ye be judged etc. Don't quote the bible only to do harm. He may love and lay down with whomever he wants to. Otherwise he would be lying to himself which is far worse then lying to others.
"Happy the man who shall seize and smash your little ones against the rock!" (Psalms 137:9)
How happy have you been lately? Xtians are immoral monsters that latch on to mistranslated passages while completely ignoring the other verses they claim to hold so dear. The world will be a far better place when they are all raptured leaving the rest of us to finally have peace from their stupid, misdirected hate.
As Girolam Savonarola said about Xtians, "They have sat for so long in their own stench that they don't realize that they stink".

And yet, it is the Christian Ministries that go all over the world and "convert" people.
So, who is it exactly that recruits and wants everyone to be like them? It's that pedophile priest supporting Catholic Church, that's who.
Hypocrite.
This is gay!
And I'm straight! Now I ask, WHO CARES. Why do gay people feel that they have to announce their business? I for one am sick and tired of it.
If you're sick of it, tell bigots to stop publicly venting their hatred toward gays. Then gay people wouldn't have to publicly fight back.
Yeah I'm straight, Why DO Gay people always feel like they have to announce their buisness??
Oh? You're tired of other people's struggles? Typical child mentality.
Fine. Then don't ever, EVER publicly refer to your wife or your girlfriend. What you do in your bedroom is your business, but I don't want to hear about it. Why do straight people insist on making their private lives public?
You sure like the coming out stories. The board are always full of comments on this kind of story. Me thinks some of you need to come out too.
Agreed. It has been my experiene it is the ones screaming the loudest that are really closeted hom o s exuals. Sad.
So, I have a question. If gay people are allowed to wear "I'm Gay" t-shirts, are straight guys allowed to wear "I'm Straight" on a t?
What is stopping you?
What's stopping me? The one sided thinking of today's society. If someone goes against the "norm" they can say it. However, if someone follows the "norm" and speaks their mind, everyone has a problem with it...
You're a liar Dan. The only thing you can't do is go and wear a shirt that says gays people should be killed, the same as gay people never wear shirts saying that about straights anyway.
Oh for crying out loud. Man, put what ever the he ll you want to on a t shirt. Freedom of speech. I saw a kid with a t shirt that said "Fcuk Milk! Got P ot?" At least he had the ba llz to actually do it instead of whining about it on the internet.
yes, if they want to.
Sure @Dan, you can wear an I'm straight shirt – in fact I have seen a few of them around recently.
No one is stopping you.
There are literally zillions of ways to proclaim your straightness that are unambiguous. Anything that is "family oriented" is an advertizement for straightness.
I'm just wondering, why do WE CARE or NEED TO KNOW he is gay. I am so sick and tired of the media with these so called "Coming OUT" parties. Quite Frankly, I'm sure a lot of us really don't give a damn. Maybe we should start having "I'm STRAIGHT" coming out parties, since these days no one really can tell which team someone plays for.
Knock yourself out and go ahead and have "I'm STRAIGHT" coming out parties. Nothing stopping ya.
It sounds like you don't know what a coming out party is.
not to be funny but he said he wanted to scream at his creator....is he speaking of Tyler the Creator as his first love?
All I know is dude stole the entire track of Hotel California by the eagles, dubbed some profanity on the tracks and calls himself a "rapper singer". This is exactley whats wrong with these so-called entertainers of today.... steal music from real musicians and think themselves an artist. So in closing and in the immortal words of "Fly guy the pimp"... when it comes to the eagles...This "Beotch" better have their money"
I hope you will go after Coldplay with as much vigor as you would this fellow, seeing how they went to an indie band's concert, met the guys back stages and stole the entire song and then denied it – "Viva La Vida". How about Beyonce stealing "If I was a Boy" from little know song writer and singer BJ Jean. They ALL do it. .
@Antwoine from Atlanta (Real Hip-Hop Hate clowns like this) I hope you will go after Coldplay with as much vigor as you would this fellow, seeing how they went to an indie band's concert, met the guys back stages and stole the entire song and then denied it – "Viva La Vida". How about Beyonce stealing "If I was a Boy" from little know song writer and singer BJ Jean. They ALL do it.
he's not a "rapper singer". he didnt dub the track with profanities. the song he did is a love song about getting married. so clearly, you didnt listen to the song, you just wanted to make a loaded comment.
Great, another gay celebrity i've never heard of. Oh well, more women for me 🙂
I'm sure they'll be thrilled. Might turn over some more gay women though.
If you're online posting on gay themed CNN stories, I am guessing there are not a lot of women interested in going out with you in the first place.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO LIKE WHAT YOU WANT & LEAVE THE REST BEHIND... YOU CAN TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT ,
IT'S THAT SIMLPE... JUST LIKE SOME OF YOU HATERS OUT THERE. TAKE WHAT YOU LIKE & LEAVE THE REST TO GOD'. CAUSE YOU SHOULD NOT JUDGE OTHERS IN THE FIRST PLASE IT IS NOT YOUR JOB ,ONLY GOD ABOVE , LIVE & LET LIVE . YOU ONE CAN MAKE YOU BUY SOMETHING YOU DO NOT WANT TO... I WOULD WANT GOD TO JUDGE ME THAN SOME ONE OF YOUR ILK... GOD IS A LIVING LOVING GOD. NUFF SAID...
Please learn to spell before yelling at everyone. It's spelled "place".
We gays are everywhere!! MUAHAHAHAHA! We are the best of the best. GAY POWER!
QUOTE:...........And on the days we were together, time would glide.?
What ?? Me thinks this is a signal.....
Isnt GLIDE the goopy stuff those frags rub on their pee pee thingy?
Tube of GLIDE goes long way......I heard....dont quote me.
AND YOUR ALL GOING TO BURN IN HELL!!!!!!!!!!!! NOW GAY POWER TO THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
power to do what exactly.........tone it down and just live
This is equivalent to someone coming out and admitting that they're a liar or thief. Why are people giving accolades? They should give him support if he's admitting his struggles and willingness to change, but that's not the case, they're telling him to stay as he is!! What a disservice to this young man....
How is this equal to him being a liar or a thief? To you maybe, according to your beliefs, but not everyone shares your beliefs. For hundreds of thousands of people there is absolutely nothing wrong with this. I respect your beliefs and you should respect his. Go on living life according to your standards, but don't force others to do the same.
Not realy DIS service..........U cant DIS one them black frags.
Plus even if it was......so what......leaves alot more them black welfare
mommmas without another baby daddy on her a33 for corn holin.
A liar and a thief? What are you even talking about???
How is hate at all productive?
It's news because some of us happen to be gay. It's news because a lot of confused and isolated gay kids out there need role models and other gay people to look up to.
I think this is great news for those who actually listen to hip hop then you def know who he is and for him to come out as a hip hop artist that is popular in our community is huge. Yes I am a Christian and yes I am a lesbian its not easy to come to terms with being both but I know Jesus is my Lord and Savior and no one can affect my entering or not entering the Kingdom of the Lord other then Him. Lets start to love as Jesus asked of us leave the judgement to the professionals.
Danielle! Thanks for sharing! 🙂 I also love God and love my girlfriend! 🙂
Wishing you the best in your life!
Was it really necessary to out yourself?
Frank Ocean likes fish sticks?
That fish sticks comment ...CLASSIC! Ur hilarious. "I don't get it".
So he m-m-m-must be a g-g-g-gay fish! Wow, what a great audience!
Hahaha me toohh
Bravo to you, young man! Tis no one's business with whom you choose to share your lovelife. Be proud-stay strong!
um, If it's nobody's business then why did he feel the need to twitt it out there?...kinda' seems like he wants to MAKE it everyone's business...
People, chill with the hate, from both sides! Geezz, I get it, gays aren't natural, and gays don't like to be persecuted by straights, but think about it, if all your argument entails is asking "how does a hairy man turn you on", you're going about it in the completely opposite direction and basically killing your argument before it's begun. You'll sit there and argue the moral high ground by using immoral standards and ways of life? Honestly, you can use the Bible or not, but regardless of how we feel about it, if you believe in most any monotheistic God, then being gay will land you in Hell, but also straight hate will as well. Seriously, I am a perfectly normal, straight young man who can't honestly see myself with another man at all, and only with one woman upon marriage, which is how it's really supposed to be, for all you Bible-thumpers and moral knights. Quite simply, educate thyself. Lift your knowledge from that baseness which you name Hate, and that will truly set you free. All I've seen here and always in the past is either wholesale acceptance of gays or complete denial of them, but some things need to be addressed, you ostrich-like people who want to bury your heads in the sand and not deal with having an opinion on the subject. The population/procreation issue, for one, is shot full of holes by either side. Gays make up a relatively small percentage, yet theirs does not fulfill what they themselves would argue is a natural role in nature itself. Reproductively-speaking, a male and a female are needed to procreate. While we have no need of population, it's just not natural. But let's do away with the hate, from both sides, please. Today is Independence Day, the day where Freedom is celebrated. Let's celebrate together!
I agree with what you said, people from both sides need to chill. However, I will add that no one can say whether or not another person or themselves are going to Hell or Heaven. Only God can make that call. I don't support gay rights, but I am a supporter of free-will. I think we should show everyone the exact same amount of kindness. Gay's aren't any worse than any of us.
Not sweet,why should we care?
The media continually tries to shove gay issues down our throat,
Who cares!-He is going to be gay wether anyone likes it or not,-Its personal-sheeesh
My boyfriend thinks the same with me. He is 12 years older than me, lol. We met online at AgeLover. CòM. The premiere online community for older women seek younger men or older men seek younger women to meet and share your interests. Ever feel that you would best enjoy someone who is not in your age group? Leave behind the other general dating sites out there and try us.
1. I have no idea who he his
2. Why is it news when somebody comes out of the closet
Why do so many people care if he is gay or not. Why do you care if anyone is gay? Is someone forcing you to be gay? Do you have nothing better to do with your life than judge & talk about others?
Too much wasted time on others lives. I agree.
Odd future was getting more pobular everyday in the alternative community. however, i suspect that a lot of their hip hop fans will not be pleased by this "coming out"; and a lot will stop listening
Only because they care what others think. That's the bigger issue what others think. I'm guilty of that but try not to care.
or they gain new fans, like me
I thought this was about Billy Ocean.
No more love on the run
Hey you get into my car!
Lol at all of the haters and traders. If you only knew how many people you adore and fantasize about in the entertainment industry are really gay. You get sold an image with your music and if you were a true music lover then you'd listen without prejudice.
I found this gross. I can't fathom why a man would pass on a beautiful woman for a rough, tough, hairy man?!??! Think about it?!? It's twisted and sick! I know and associate with gay men, but the thought just makes me want to puke. It's very unnatural and is as wrong as two left shoes. Lord, help us. Many are so deceived. Do I love gays? Absolutely! But there's no justification for sodomy. Gods against it point blank and you'll see when you stand before Him in judgment. Mark my words.
god does not exist.
That is all.
Yes he does. He told me to kick your ass for saying that.
awww so you like to screw cute cuddley girls?... WHA A F AG.
you can't fathom it because you're not gay so you are not attracted to that. I can't fathom it either and I'm a woman, a gay woman, so according to you I'll be good with your god? awesome!
Sodomy is practiced by some straight couples and not all gays do it. Generalizing serves nobody. I don't want to visualize what you do in your bedroom or anyone else for that matter.
@wayne I'm a woman too and I feel that way! As for your question, the same goes for you, the article is about a man so....
Why would you spend time thinking about what other people do in bed? If it bothers you, think about something else!
I absolutely agree with you. WHO CARES about the gays???? No one wants to hear of their sickening lifestyle. I just wish they would all go away, and just live together on their own planet. Publicizing that your gay is no big deal, NO ONE CARES!!! Two men banging each other is the sickest grossest thing ever, and the same goes for women. I just wish these weird people would just SHUT UP ALREADY!!!!!
Who cares. Did "D" get with you? "D" who? Deez nutz Suka fish.
Oh dang! Anotha brotha bites the dust... This is far from cute, jus lost a fan! I didn't wanna hear this news.
pu ssy. Straight males are the REAL f ags.
Hello folks. Everyone is cordially invited to visit, thestarofkaduri.com
Gay people are nasty. What is wrong with world?
Why do you care?
People like you are what's wrong with the world. In a world where so many terrible things happen on a daily basis like rape, murder, torture, war and famine, people like you take LOVE and try to turn it into something bad. You digust me
birth is nasty.
Look in the mirror your answer is waiting.
You know what's nasty? A judgmental piece of trash going by the name "beautiful vixen.". Sounds pretty ugly to me.
That's a troll that likes to steal other folks names and post ugly stuff.
peace is my lover and so is sly sadie. i'm all for gay rights
You are not Beautiful Vixen.
And we're supposed to care bacause............???
All these ugly comments written here. I guess it was like this in the 60s when blacks didn't want to be limited to riding in the back of the bus. Gays don't want to be in the "back of the bus" either.
Its just not natural, no matter how u try justify it. Make matters worse a lot of brothers r undercover, being gay is jus nt right... Jus like tryna justify smokin weed(drugs)
Weed is awesome. Gay not so much
Wow you sodomites USED to call your 'way' an 'alternative lifestyle'. Remember those days!! Then you got clever and changed it to "we are born this way". Well, which is it?!! What is your story this month?!! Just can't make up your tiny minds,eh??! You campain against bullying, too? You all are the biggest bullies in the country! Don't believe me? Ask anyone who has been a supporter for normal marriage (1 man, 1 woman). Go on youtube and look at the sodomite bullies at a pro-marriage rally and see the VILE brutes!!
Are you drunk or on drugs? Which one is it?
I was walking past a mental hospital the other day, and all the patients were out in the yard shouting, "13....13....13...."
The fence was too high to see over, but I saw a little gap in the planks, so I looked through to see what was going on and some idiot poked me in the eye with a stick! Then they all started shouting "14....14....14..."
Compassionate Carl, that has to be the most Ironic name ever It should be more like Hateful Carl. Wow
You realize, I hope, that this is an incredibly bullying blog-note? You are a bully and don't know it, a bigot and don't know it, a spiteful and mean human being and don't know it. Wake up. deal with you rage and be happy.
Girl, fu** you! Compassionate my a$$ you are ignorant.
Don't know, don't care, just don't.
Leviticus also says one should not eat shrimp, lobster or other shellfish. If you are a Christian you need not worry about the Jewish dietary laws state. AIDS was not sent from God are any other creators beings. I am so tired of the bigotry in this country.
Wow. what he wrote about his experiences is poetic.
There are some great lyrics in there...use them my friend!
What would Biggie and Tupac say to all this?
you kiding!? there is a saying amonst gang bangers.. "hey Homie don't you know me? You knew me when you b##w me"! lol...comes from living life on the Down Low....
They wouldn't say anything, because they'd be too busy trying to put a bullet in each others' head.
Just another Hollywood queeer.
I don't think he lives in Hollywood.
Who? Never heard of it.
God doesn't have a job anymore, it's been taken away by all the self righteous and hate filled being here on Earth and because God doesn't have a job anymore, who is going to let them in heaven.
yuck. upchuck. vomit. spew. throwup.
I have always thought that the Leviticus passage from the Bible which is so often quoted as "proof" that being gay is against God's will doesn't particularly pertain to that argument. A gay man would NOT lie with a man in the same way he would with a woman; he most likely wouldn't "lie" with a woman in the first place!! Being gay is simply the way some of us were designed from the beginning of our lives, just as other people are born straight.
Why don't we all start giving Medals of Honor out to all the celebrities and others that come out and say their gay! Who cares? That's their own demise. I'm sick and tired of hearing about it and placing these idiots on a pedastal. Surely there are other stories more important than this?
Didn't you hear? Gay is cool now. CNN says so.
The more your you-know-what hurts when you sit down, the cooler you are.
CNN says so.
When are you gonna come out Mike.
Yeah, there are more important stories. Try this one, for example:
"What type of reject school did Mike go to such that he can't spell 'pedestal' correctly?"
MIke-tell that to the suicidal gay kids who feel alone in the world who need people like frank ocean. When I was a kid the only gay role models were greg luganous (sp?), Michael Stipe and Melissa Etheridge. I wasn't interested in any of them. Frank Ocean is very popular with high school aged kids. Belive me when I say it helps gay kids a lot to have people like him around and being open.
Caribbean Queen was a great song...wait, wrong guy. I'm going to take a pooh now.
You go Frank Ocean, you go! If you honestly believe this world was made by this so called "God" then you my friend are an abomination. Religion throughout this planet has been created by MAN, used by MAN to manipulate the masses. Muslim's tell woman to hide their faces, except there eyes or prepare to be stoned, Christianity tells people you are born of SIN. How is me being born sinning? Or laying with a woman for any other reason than reproduction is also SIN! So if you want to use gays as a scapegoat for your own pleasure, by all means do. However, dont sit there and try and throw verses. For just as you can, so can i.
Leviticus 19:18
18 " 'Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against one of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD.
Now STFU and sit your asses down.
Who would have though there were so many faries on Marquee.lol. Wow, we have some loose a – holes here in the house. I guess when your a – hole is loose enough to drive a mack truck through it, it would make one upset.
Stay classy, Mack!
You people and that silly bible.
Hello folks. Everyone is cordially invited to visit ... thestarofkaduri.com
GO AIDS/HIV!!!!! And thanks SOOOO much mother nature for you system of WEEDING out those that run afoul of your design and intentions for us.
Total cocoa puffs
And may a pox be upon you.
I am hiv+ and have been since 2004... and guess what I am very healthy the virus in is check and holding stable and i am not even on meds... but the virus allowed me to take control of my life and become a better person... if you really believe in your bible then you should not wish harm on others... God is all about love and he loves all of us... I know I will most likely out live you and in the case i do not I will be waiting at those pearly gates for you when you get there.
Stupid ass, AIDS/HIV derived from Africa. So you go and thank mother nature for giving us a disease thats killing thousands of African woman.
Mmmm.... cocoa puffs!
Such an ironic name compassionate carl. straight people get aids too dude. and not just drug addcits either. don't be dumb.
A brave and wonderful act. Beautifully written and extremely heartfelt.
At least f a g g o t s can 't reproduce with each other. How can a man be turned on by another man's hairy a s s? Lol Q U E E R S
Be careful, AT LEAST, in what you type because it is verging on HATE and proving only one things THAT YOU ARE ONE BIG FAT IDIOT who, in the course of his life, learned only how to spell but not be tolerant of others. Let's see how you turn out in life with your HATEFUL, HURTFUL and ignorant comments!
Moron.
Wow, classy
hard to believe in 2012 there are still people that spout such idiocy on the internet. learn to coexist...if you don't you'll fall way behind...gays are gaining rights and equality faster than ever and there's no stopping it.
Now if all us straights would stop having them gay babies we'd be all set
Gay men can still reproduce you idiot
LM AO, good one!
But they can have a surrogate mother conceive and deliver for them. So, they *can* still reproduce.
Enjoy your dreams tonight 🙂
Hey guys please leave God out if this context, straight or gay do not use God's name in Vain. His name is not your walking stick. To all gay people, what the hell? Just keep your own twisted life to yourself.
Of course god isn't a walking stick...Because a walking stick is actually real.
Wait, you want to to come on here and tell everyone else what to do and then turn around and disrespect the same people you are trying to tell to respect your imaginary friend? You are so stupid you can't even see your own idiotic hypocrisy. Screww you and your little fantasy friend.
And keep your twisted judgments to yourself...there's nothing twisted about being gay, it's been around in the natural world since the beginning of human history. Get with the times and learn to coexist...a time will come when you will want your fellow man, gay or straight, to help you out...would you want such archaic treatment?
I have more faith in walking sticks. At least I know they will perform as advertised. Run along and talk to your invisible sky fairy now.
Uh...hmmm. So I guess you are saying straight people should be careful not to identify themselves as being straight? they should hide it? I don't understand. What would that help?
Beautifully written- I wish you much happiness.
frank ocean? who that? i was scared for a second it was billy ocean. ahhaahha
Billy Ocean... you mean Caribbean Queen.... lol JK much love to all those who respect others. I am straight as an arrow, but love who you wanna... cause its your damn life,.
Don't be dictated to by someones stale fairy tale called God. That is so much BS. There have been scores of other "sun gods" too over the centuries. We just have to wait for the "moonies" to die out.
Too bad theres always more kooks where they came from... sigh
peace
Leviticus 18:22 – Do not lie with a man as one lies with a women; it is an abomination. Y'all are all pretty much going to burn in hell. Gays and gays lovers. It's plain disgusting and nasty. What's the matter with you people? How can you find another man attractive, vice versa?
haha i GUARANTEE no one finds you attractive at all! And what proof might I ask do you have that God truely wrote that? That book has been passed down for centuries with biggots like you altering it to fit their own hateful beliefs!
Leviticus 19:27 – You shall not shave around the sides of your head, nor shall you disfigure the edges of your beard. Just because it's in the bible, doesn't mean that it's right.
You know the Bible is not real, Right?
Phuck god in da ass!
It's the same as you finding a woman attractive. We didn't just say one day... oh I think I like to try sleeping with men. I've always been attracted to men and don't find it nasty at all. It's quite natural just as it's natural for you to be with a woman
"Me thinks the lady doth protest too much." W. Shakespear. You are gay. stop repressing yourself before you end up 50 years old having teenboys give you oral pleasure. Self decite is the most hopeless kind. So is self loathing.
ask your daddy
whats the matter with you? the bible says that one sin is not greater than another and it's all getting the same punishment...so you trying to judge people (which is a sin in the bible) throws you right into the same boat as I...and honestly...do you know when you bank and handle money you are sinning? wearing clothes is a sin...hate is a sin...seriously, you should not take the bible so literal because you look idiotic picking and choosing what you want to believe and forgetting the rest and secondly you should get off your high horse and worry about your own life and let us have equality. the world does not revolve around your religion or beliefs....
Because they are gay. Get it? The Bible also says that the Sun revolves around the Earth, etc., etc., so you may want to to reconsider taking every aspect of the bible literally.
The First Dragon said – Leviticus 18:22 – Do not lie with a man as one lies with a women; it is an abomination. Y'all are all pretty much going to burn in hell. Gays and gays lovers. It's plain disgusting and nasty. What's the matter with you people? How can you find another man attractive, vice versa?
Hey First Dragon, what about Lev 11:12 "Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that [shall be] an abomination unto you." What's the matter with you people? How can you find a lobster, crab or shrimp attractive? You'll burn in hell with the man lovers!
I just love those Bible quoters. ha ha ha
It is an abomination that you don't know the difference between the spelling of woman and women and you're trying to make yourself sound like a source of knowledge.
When posting a Bible verse on the internet about "sins" and how us "gays" will rot in hell, why don't you post ALL of the scriptures you know the OTHER thousands of them that talk about SINS that YOU commit on a daily basis!! OH I forgot you are with out sin so you will cast the first stone I suppose! Why don't you take some advice from JESUS and learn the verse that says to LOVE they neighbor has thy self! Jesus is ALL about love and compassion! I see NO love or compassion in your life! there for you have NO Jesus in your life! Leviticus 18:1-30
Why do women find men attractive? No one's asking you to find dudes attractive. just accept that people do. you don't have to understand it.
btw other sins in the bible...tattoos, eating shelfish. no one mentions that stuff. you jesus freaks just pick and choose what you want. trust me if you lived your life entirely according to the bible you'd probably be starvign to death in a box.
The bible also says adulterers should be stoned to death. Yet, I never see religious fundamentalists talk about that. Oh wait, that's because they commit adultery so they don't feel they should be killed for it. The bible also says not to eat shellfish. Yet, I don't see religious fundamentalists picketing outside Red Lobster that everyone who goes in there is sinning. Why is that?
And, I never once see religious fundamentalists doing anything about the number of pedophile priests that are out there molesting children. Are you going to tell me that molesting children is not a sin? Must not be, since no religious types ever talk about it.
Lord Why dont these gay people just be quite.
Why don't you dirty a$$ hoes be quite? At least the gays actually have interesting things to say!
Lord, why don't those straight people learn how to spell?
Should straight people not speak about their relationships, also? I don't see your point?
I am proud to be straight. Straight people are the reason the human race exists. Being gay isn't a lifestlye, it is a deathstyle.
God is the reason the human race exists you moron! And if the gay lifestyle is a "deathstyle" it's because idiots like you are out to hurt them! It's really sad that you're proud of THAT kind of lifestyle! Tsk tsk tsk! Guarantee that the gays will be wayyyyyy ahead of you in the line of heaven, if you even get to go there!
Frank...... How can a gay be in the front line. Did you ever go to church or just acting dumb. Read the book and then put your nonsense here, that goes to every person that thinks the same. Ask your self why did he make a woman for and not just put a v a gina in the man. Think before you talk people.
Straightpride, what a stupid statement to make considering most kids in this world are born into poverty. Hell, get up in arms about people breeding without responsibility. I'm sick of paying taxes for people who have kids for all the wrong reasons, aren't you? Not to mention if people keep breeding at the pace they have been, our descendants will be eating dirt because natural resources will be history. Gays make up roughly 10% of people on earth, so your procreation cop out isn't even based upon reality. Being gay isn't a choice, so you might as well get over it because their will be many more born after you are gone.
Newsflash, man wasnt created from dirt, and woman wasnt created from man's rib. There was no adam and eve, no eden, no talking snake. Stop trying to use fairy tales as justification for your self loathing and bigotry.
Alright!!! Way to be straight, straightpride!!! Congratulations, champ!
wait until my health care kicks in! all ya are not going to be getting screwed not just in your f a gg it g a y a s ses but you'll be pulling more money out your pockets ha ha ha! ya better make sure you f a ggit butt f'ing partner is clean an you dont go putting things up your a s s es where God only intended for poo to come out
HAHA yeah gay people sure are the problem. Look at how you people talk! You guys are filthy disgusting JOKES!!!
too bad I didnt kill all of you g@y arssesa
are what wrong with the world today. That's why the world is going to hell. That's why U.S. Gov. is a mess. Too much gayness all over. We are all screwed because of the likes of all you disgusting gays and dy kes. Repent
And what may I ask is a problem that the gay community has given? The only thing I can think of is the fact that we want civil rights, which is only an issue because people like you! lol Pretty sure all the news in the cnn justice section is all about your so called "normal straight" people! It's really people like YOU that are the problem, because you think you are just so perfect and holy! Take a look in the mirror at your ugly haggardness! I smell it all the way over here!
actually you have it backwards -it's people like you that are what's wrong with the world-too bad there isn't a cure for hate~
other than death of course~trouble is , before that occurs, your ilk have raised a whole brood of haters for the next generation to endure...stupid is as stupid does...
I'll repent when you come out, self-hating closet case.
You are gay, and in deep denial. That is the source of your hate.
Could you take a minute and explain that connection with just a little bit of detail, please? thanks.
Poor you, the victim of everyone else. Yours is possibly the dummest post I have ever read.
Or maybe it's because conservatives waste more time on gay hate than they do on trying to create jobs or fix the economy.
Who cares?
LOL Look at all the haters making idiotic comments. They don't know why they hate; they just "know" that they should hate their fellow human beings.
Stop Obama-Romney Terrorism against black Medical Marijuana Patients.
So sick of all these gays coming out. What kind of twisted world are we living in? So gross. Who honestly needs to hear about it.
Look in the mirror haters. You're the one's who are evil, vile, disgusting.
you should use "Callous Bear" as your name. There is no "care" when one can't display simple humanity toward one's fellow man.
Soon it will be your turn. We're all gay.
Aren't Care Bears supposed to be all-loving and all-accepting creatures?
We're living in a world with lots of stoopid bigots like you. If you don't care, then don't read. 🙂
Because of people like you, it needs to be told. Proud of this black young man, it takes a lot to do it. We are here and always will be. We make this sick world better. If you had friends like him you would know they are great friends and very loving people which makes a better world. We need that in this sick world.
Seriously, this coming from someone who calls themselves CareBear? Hahaha... You just did your coming out right there buddy
While that was sweet what you had to say Rick, it's not 100% true. The gays are definitely NOT all sweet and lovely dovey nice people. Some of em are pretty horrible and some are jerks and scandalous d ickheads! Just like anyone else. being gay or straight is just a MINOR detail in their life. Doesn't determine if that makes them a good person or not, lol!
Why do you care Care Bear?
I never knew that 'Bigot' was one of the care bears.
Are you really so insecure in your own state that you can't handle hearing about anyone else's? What's wrong with you?
You saw the article, read it and then took the time to post a comment. I guess if you really didn't want to read this stuff you wouldn't have took the time to read it and comment.
Hate to tell ya but more, many more will be coming out! We've been here all along, just many have been oppressed and kept from coming out of the closet because of ugly, bigoted people like you.
People should come out. The truth set you free. Why would you want your son or daughter to hide who they are? That makes liars out of people. I'm tired of deceitfulness. Let's encourage people to tell the truth.
Who the F cares. Why is this abnormal crap a big deal? Keep it in your pants and we'll all be fine!
No, you keep your bigotry to yourself and we'll be fine!
Straight people are not NORMAL, they are just common.
If your daddy kept it in his pants, this world would be a much better place today.
Lol you're a freakin tard! I agree with "Rid us of idiots please" your dad definitely should have wrapped it up! You'll contribute ZERO to this world!
The powers that be that transend national governments, be they called Illuminati or whatever .. fear overpopulation. Encouraging h0mo$exuality is one of the ways they are dealing with this. CNN is doing a great job promoting that agenda. They should change their name to GNN for obvious reasons.
Amen ... amen ... God will always prevail. Let the illuminatis and CNN (their media outlet) do their part. Keep faith and trust in the Lord.
Never heard of him or the group but if he's happy who are we to judge? Peace!
Gangstalicious is gay, too. He cool.
Homies ova hos!
So what? You're gay. That's cute.
What else do you do?
I play the trombone too! Ok?
Wow, CNN running another H0m0 is cool story. You guys are borderline obsessed. Anderson, what a big can of worms you have opened.
Sorry they don't cater to your type of news all the time. Sorry this is a revolutionary people for these folks who finally feel like they have a voice.
You're calling Anderson being encouraged and consequently encouraging others to come out as gay a can of worms/pandoras box? Good I hope so. In fact I not only hope that every LGBT comes out of the closet, I hope every Atheist is inspired by the LGBT community and goes out and does the same!
If people realized just how many of their family, friends, heroes, and peers were indeed gay/atheist and that these were some of the kindest, smartest, and most morally grounded individuals among them, I believe we could change hearts and minds to our/the right side.
Shut Up!
you are an idiot. Most of us love AC!
... you know when CNN first broke the AC gay story they were like 'ok lets get some more stories
about celebrities coming out. OK anyone? (no hands go up).. then after minutes of silence a hand
slow climbs up.. "He isn't huge but he's coming out.. his name be Odd Future, I know you never
heard of him but millions of fangs have and he's new." ... CNN chief editor sits thinking about this..then finally
yields with an "OK we'll do this .. just this once for Anderson!.' 😉
We can talk religion instead. Care to discuss why the church ignores the pedophile priest situation?
SICK!!!! PERVERSE!!!!!
To "I want to barf"
Feel better about yourself now princess?
Yes, you are sick.
Of course you are talking about religion.
We all deserve to be happy, and we may not agree with what makes us happy, but we must respect it. We love his music and I see him as a great musician and singer; my wife and I fell in love with each other listening to his music, and now we are married, and still in our honeymoon. Be happy Frank.!
A modern day musical genius. All support here Frank.
Just like Liberace and Freddie Mercury. Musical Genius' and dead from AIDS..
I still love you Franky <33333333333
Awwww! That is SO sweet!
