This is probably one of the most anticipated releases in a long time - all the more so since the crazy buzz surrounding Frank Ocean's sexuality (he admitted to his bisexuality). I have to give the brother his props - this admission takes steely courage in the face of a world coarsened with homophobia, ignorance & cruelty. As a heterosexual male, I never really had an issue with other people's sexuality - live & let live is what I've always maintained, as long as mutual respect is upheld. It always struck me as primitive the way people react to difference. Why do some people cling so tenaciously to their prejudices, crouched in their fears? And who is anyone to judge another for that matter? What if your own child admitted that he/she was gay/bisexual? Would you love him/her any less? I doubt it. And don't bring God into the conversation, please. The mystery of God is just that- a mystery. This is the conversation Frank Ocean has started through his craft & it's a damn good thing! Michael Eric Dyson hit it on the head recently - check it out...
