[MUSIC NEWS/CELEBRITY GOSSIP] Frank Ocean Confirms Rumours of Being Homosexual
via Towleroad
Frank Ocean’s Channel Orange doesn’t hit shelves until July 17th, but BBC radio’s Max caught a listen and says that Ocean, a ghostwriter for Justin Bieber, Beyonce, John Legend and also a vocal talent in his own right, basically comes out. Instead of using “her” in love songs, he blatantly uses “him”.
From The Boombox:
[Ocean] has been holding listening parties all over the world, most recently in London, and after giving Channel Orange a spin, BBC 1 radio personality Max reported back on lyrics that would seemingly out Ocean as gay.
“Frank has also opened up about his sexuality on the album, we think it’s brave and admire him for being so honest and sharing such a personal aspect of his life through his music,” Max said. “On the songs ‘Bad Religion’ ‘Pink Matter and ‘Forrest Gump’ you can hear him sing about being in love and their are quite obvious words used like ‘him’ and not ‘her.’
The site also notes that Bossip.com recently ran a blind item suggesting Frank Ocean was prepping for a coming out party.
There’s been plenty of speculation about this hot young r&b star’s sexuality, but most of it has been drowned out by the adoration by fans and famous alike. After keeping folks guessing in 2011, this soul singer will answer any questions about which team he’s swinging for with his upcoming musical release.
If this is indeed about Ocean and he is coming out, the 24-year old and his many famous friends, like Jay-Z and Kanye West, could become leading figures in combating homophobia in hip-hop.
Further confirmation came late Monday night by way of a two paragraph message posted directly to Frank Ocean’s official Tumblr. Read below (click image to expand):

Perez Hilton: Gay men were embarrassed by me but I’ve changed
by Laurence Watts
Like him or loathe him, it’s hard to deny that Perez Hilton is anything less than a media phenomenon. On average more than seven million people visit his websites each day. Let’s put that in perspective: The Wall St Journal, America’s best-selling newspaper, boasts a daily circulation of 2.1 million. More people than that follow Perez on Twitter (he has 3.5 million followers at the time of writing). Though highly controversial in the past, he’s been better behaved of late. Laurence Watts caught up with the world’s most famous blogger to find out more.
Perez Hilton was born Mario Armando Lavandeira. Like others in the world of entertainment, including his self-styled ‘papa’, Elton John, he now goes by the moniker he found fame with.
“I love the name Perez,” he tells me. “Perez has made my life a lot better. I don’t think I would ever legally change my name though because I’m proud of the fact that I’m Cuban.
“I’m my father’s son. There used to be a difference between Perez and Mario, but in last eight months I’ve really been working at trying to integrate the two and show the world more of my true self.”
In late 2004 he started blogging in his spare time while temping and working as a freelance journalist for America’s gay press. Six months later he got his first big break.

PUTTING IT OUT THERE – WYNTER GORDON
Alone in a room
Alright in a crowd
All that I see, is you and me
We’re deeper than skin
We’re outside the box
Forever free
No need to keep it a secret
You only gotta believe it
Wherever we go
Whatever we do
We’ll always be true
With PRIDE in our hearts
We’re putting it out there
For everyone to see
It tears us apart
We’re putting it out there
We know we’re not alone
Don’t fight it anymore
Tonight the world will know who we are
We’re putting it out there
