I would think most gay people could relate to this fear and anxiety...

Seems to me many gay people forget what it feels like to be in the closet after they come out which is quite sad

[twittgoo]

Also, a serious question. Do people even read these gay media outlets?

This whole thing sounds more like bitter stans making up excuses for the future when his album flops -
just like his last.

Heterosexual pop girls, that ATRL love so much, do this all the time yet ATRL has no problem with it.
Why?
Why is it a problem if Mr. Ocean is supposedly doing it?

Oop.

Because ATRL is....I have a problem with it myself and don't love any of those girls.
It shouldn't be a problem to most of ATRL, but the ones mentioning how he's doing it probably also have a problem with those girls. And the certain people are not coming in here to gut him for him selling his sexuality, they're in here because of a racist hashtag popping up due to the community he ignored not reporting on him.

I like Frank, Madonna likes Frank. Racism is real in our community, but it has little to do with the gay community not reporting on his album. RuPaul and Beyoncé are staples in our community, constantly reported on, RuPaul for what he does and Beyoncé because she's a talented diva.

Gay media only cares about white gays. These are indisputable facts.

Regardless of the intent, the last thing Frank needs is a bunch of petty gay media outlets to cover his album release when he has leagues upon leagues of real, legitimate, mainstream outlets more than willing to give him free press. He's better than them tbh, and the public agrees so...

Let's not act like the general public knew who he was before he 'came out'.
Publications are probably scared to review it because they know the stans will shout 'racismE' when they tell them the album is trash.

I agree with this and think it's another layer on why he isn't allegedly getting coverage in LGBT publications.
If they don't cover Frank Ocean, they're racist. If they cover Frank Ocean and don't like the album, they're racist.

As a music critic, why even go through the trouble. Just skip the issue all together.

That's because that is what most gays are into. Just look at ATRL.

[CosTaSsSs]

I can't anymore with all these "whites"... grow a pair bitches.

[NewRihannaStan]

Did he even come out as gay. I thought he was just bi..

Its like they automatically assume that gay celebrities should be as fearless, out, and proud as the pretend their ATRL and social media personality is. Of course it's easy to sit behind a screen and critique how someone should showcase their sexuality in front of millions.

Gay men are not obliged to praise music just because it was made my another gay man.

Who is talking about reviewing the record? The article in this thread is talking about covering the release of the album, something which does not require a critical assessment.

You're desperately trying to make this into something its not to fuel your irrational Frank Ocean hate

[Holy Fool]

I see a lot of people saying Frank is gay. He's bisexual! It's a big problem that bisexual individuals are often stripped of their bisexuality and society sort of forces them, in a way, to pick one or the other.

[freebitch26]

awwwww poor me i'm so oppressed, plz feel sorry for me i need your validation ((((((

[Emperor]

Wtf is this thread

So there is a drama because they cover 48h after the release??
His music is not even what the majority of gay listen and lets not forget sam smith had to wait months before gay media pay attention to him.
You all need to stop these useless fight.
