Boy bye. It's the truth. Whenever an article mentioned Frank's coming out they mentioned my fave, who just so happens to be the ONLY openly gay pop act in the biz. I was saying it's good that we have openly gay musicians in the industry which is a great contrast to a mere decade ago. But gone head
Has he ever acknowledged gay publications or even spoken about his sexuality since last year?
Nope, but, you should read this, it's a quote from the man who did a piece on Frank for The New York Times:
Quote:
That Tumblr post revealing his heartbreak over a man is part of what brought him to public attention in the first place. How did he approach talking about this part of his life?
Frank’s managers made it clear that he doesn’t like to answer the same question twice. Amy Wallace of GQ did a great interview with Frank in December of last year, in which they talked in-depth about how Frank identifies sexually and all the rest. So those questions had been asked and I took care to avoid them. But, interestingly, when we were talking in the car Frank made his way around to his Tumblr post without any prodding from me. The reference was so vague that at first I didn’t know what he was talking about. I think, generally, Frank is more comfortable sharing what he wants to share in his music (or on his Tumblr) than he is in an interview setting. If you go back and listen to “Oldie,” off Odd Future’s last record, which was put out in March 2012 — four months before Frank’s Tumblr post — he raps about halfway through the track and says, “I’m high and I’m bi — wait, I mean I’m straight.” He was announcing it, playing around with it, but nobody could connect the dots yet. More recently, after “Channel Orange” had been out a while, he released a track called “Blue Whale” on his Tumblr, in which he says, “I wasn’t much into the type that my bros like/So I never really had no wife and that’s all right . . . I ain’t supposed to show my love . . .” which says more about how his sexuality feels to him than you will ever get him to say in person.
Congrats! Glad to see my fave's groundbreaking endeavors as an out musician have inspired other artists to do the same
Edit: @ them snubbing Adam. OUT are still pressed over how he dragged them back in 09
The desperation. It's sincerely sad. You remind me of the Xtina stans, collecting the scraps in order to try to pick out a small, irrelevant, and probably inaccurate receipt.

No honey. DESPERATE would be for an unknown, struggling artist to come out during their album release just to gain a lil buzz. But gone head an drag a bit
Has Frank publicly come forth about his sexuality? I'm still under the impression we (consumers of his music) just took that letter he wrote and ran with it. I really don't care if he is or isn't, I just find it weird magazines embrace his "homosexuality" while I haven't heard him actually say he's gay or bisexual.
