Frank Ocean
In 2012, the rapper and photographer penned an open letter on his Tumblr revealing his “unrequited feelings” for a man he believed to be “his first true love” at 19 years old. Ocean received praise and support following the announcement from fellow artists such as Beyonce and Jay-Z as well as Tyler, the Creator. Following the 2017 Orlando shooting, the singer published an essay expressing his frustration over the increase in homophobia and recounted his own experience when it came to his father’s views about the gay community. In 2017, Ocean’s father attempted to sue his son over what he perceived to be a false claim of homophobia but the judge ruled in favor of the rapper.
