Frank Ocean Comes Out; Tyler The Creator Says 'Finally'

Frank Ocean just posted the above “coming out” letter to his Tumblr page, frankocean.tumblr.com, addressing rumors of his sexuality. In it, the singer recounts falling in love with a male friend four years ago and then battling the ensuing emotions.

The letter was preceded by this tweet with the headline “Based God Was Right”: “We’re all a bunch of golden million dollar babies. my hope is that the babies born these days will inherit less of the bullshit than we did. anyhow, what i’m about to post is for anyone who cares to read. it was intended to fill the thank you’s section in my album credits, but with all the rumors going round.. i figured it’d be good to clarify..”

Frank also confesses in the letter: "I feel like a free man."

Rumors first surfaced this week that Frank would be coming out as bisexual on his upcoming Def Jam debut, Channel Orange, after a BBC review parsed some of his lyrics.

Following the post, Frank Ocean's Odd Future cohort Tyler, The Creator tweeted the following:
