no, he wrote the letter late last year . . . only hit the tumblr (i'm sorry, do i really have to look it up; i don't know what tumblr is. i know what grindr is, what a shock, but is tumblr some other cool facebook/twitter thing?). he is the first openly (they don't even know if he is gay or bi) hiphoprap artist. sometimes i get upset at famous gay people or athletes that come out after 'the getting is gone' as if what they did holds no meaning. as if what anderson cooper did, and now this frankie goes to hollywood's ocean character have done in the peaks of their fame is any more important. if you come out as gay, you change as a person in the eyes or everyone else. the ways of perception are ususally everything in society. i feel bad for him, only in the regard that his career as a musician is over. like a very overweight person woman in the world of television and movies. that is the way it is. we created that world we can't stop paying attention to . . . so we can't complain about it.
