I don't know what's wrong with him coming out before the album was released. People were going to find out he liked men when they heard Forrest Gump anyways and it would have still sparked controversy regardless of the letter. He just realized it was smarter to do it before the album came out .
Actually, him releasing the letter exposed the "fans" who were turned off by him liking men (probably wouldn't have bough channel MASTERPIECE anyways) and showed who his true fans are. Ahh my smart fave
I'm gonna be fair and give Frank a chance with his new album. I did enjoy some of his work from Channel Orange. I'm just always weary of artists that the tumblr/SJW crowd hype up.
