Seeing as the Hip Hop internet spends a large proportion of it's time to speculating over rapper's sexualities, it would be fair to assume it's kicking itself this morning. A rapper (of sorts) has come out of the closet (sort of) and they don't seem to have seen it coming. I mean, there are people out there who genuinely believe that Dr Dre and Eminem were lovers, but none of them saw Frank Ocean coming.To save you the task of combing through the rambling confessional he posted on his Tumblr, he basically states that a while back he fell in love with an unnamed man (here's where you come in WSHH commenters), and although he has had relationships with women, it is his same sex lover that he has eyes for. The statement is very moving in parts, but also slightly mental in others, as he feels the need to thank Lil B for some reason.Needless to say, a lot of his fanbase aren't happy about this development. And although it's not quite on the same level of outrage and indignation that Judas Priest fans suffered when Halford came out (you'd never have guessed would you?), we have Twitter now so they're opinions are there for all of us to see. Whilst the vast majority of the reaction seems to be a lot of congratulations and "good on you's", there's still a section of the internet who are on some Rap Game Westborough Baptist Chruch flex. Here's a few of the guys you should all definetely tweet Bronski Beat videos at.First of all there was the guys who decided to turn OFWGTA's favourite term (sans any of the now apparent knowing-ness) back on Frank.
Then there was the hardcore.
I'm sure you'll agree that a hypothetical bear/cub situation is definetely the best way to examine this issue.
"HoeDrinkBleach" bringing her expertise to the table.
Ricky here believes Frank's statement is just a cynical attempt to tap into the pink pound.
A man who believes that defocating on teenage girls is healthier than consensual homosexuality for you here.
Even the Brits were getting involved, albeit with a style of homophobia that's a bit more Little & Large than Fire & Brimstone.
…there's always one. Sigh.
