Since revealing his first love was a man, Frank Ocean has been relatively mum regarding his sexuality. He never announced his sexual orientation, until now? Frank opened up to The Guardian UK about the buzzed topic, and TGUK assists the conversation with a precise, yet possibly misleading, article. Although their headline reads “Frank opens up about coming out,” he never stated “I came out” or “I’m gay or bi-sexual.”–we’re to believe he’s answering questions regarding his sexuality. In an alleged response to his decision to open up about his sexuality, Frank says it was “about my own sanity and my ability to feel like I’m living a life where … I’m happy when I wake up in the morning, and not with this freakin’ boulder on my chest.” I’m not suggesting doubt in TGUK’s authenticity or reliability, nor am I trying to maintain Frank’s heterosexuality, I’m saying be meticulous of what Frank is saying (and is not saying).
