I loved the hell out of this guy and his music before, but now I see a picture of him and it represents so much more to me.
Frank Ocean coming out is such a huge deal for our generation. This is another huge step towards reshaping the way our society views the LGBT community.
His coming out has huge effects on how lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transsexuals feel about themselves. Frank Ocean coming out publicly about his sexuality makes it easier for other people to come out. (This also applies to any celebrity coming out with something that is uncomfortable to society. Think Magic Johnson with his AIDS announcement.) Society can be merciless on those who are different, but Frank Ocean's announcement makes it less "weird" and "different" to be lesbian, gay, bisexual or transsexual.
For someone whose art is universally loved to take this risk is a brilliant and gutsy move. I can't help but hope that his coming out can be another step towards helping eliminate homophobia
