Frank Ocean has come out and it is a very big deal. Even mentioning that a rapper may be queer has ruined careers in the past. Being the lady killer seems to be the only image that is allowed to be portrayed. Ocean is a member of the Odd Future hip-hop collective, whose rappers have been known to throw out anti-gay slurs and are extremely rough. His label is openly accepting him and the repsonses from his peers seem to be positive, for the most part.
