He also appeared on multiple news channels to promote these initiatives.
Sam is bad too, and should do more for the LGBT, but he still does more than Frank just from a pure visibility perspective.
You can try and make this a race related this, but it truly isn't. Frank is just shite with his LGBT exposure, which is a shame when he is the biggest LGBT musician in the last 10 years.

this entire conversation is stupid honestly. Frank made wrote a coming out letter that resonated so much with his black LGBT fans, finally there was a popular artist that looked like them being open about his sexuality and candid about his love for someone of the same gender. that is revolutionary, especially since there are very few black LGBT artists out right now
the problem is you painted him as some closet case who is clearly gay but refusing to admit to it and purposely neglecting LGBT rights, which is simply not true no matter how you spin it. tumblr is a social media platform, how does it make it less than if he posted about it there rather than twitter? the post i quoted has 40,000 notes, is that public enough for you?
Evil! I broke up with this hot guy cz of her!
frank is barely in the public eye as is
He's a gay artist who doesn't shy away from singing about men and who is vocal about gay rights. Does every queer artist have to wear rainbows and perform at prides all across the world?
