Frank Oceans come out letter of love
Do you listen to rap or R&B? Have you read Frank Oceans coming out letter? Go HERE to about this and to see why someone was inspired to write the following :
Your letter is revolutionary not least of all because it is about love. It is about falling in love and feeling rejected and carrying both that love and rejection with you through life. The male pronoun of the object of your desire is practically incidental. We have all been in a love that felt 'malignant...hopeless' from which 'there was no escaping, no negotiating.' Your promise to your first love, that you won't forget him, that you'll remember how you changed each other, is so full of love and grace.

Lovely Non Coming out story
I don’t have a coming out story. I’ve always felt a bit deprived because of that, which is of course wrong because the reason I don’t have a coming out story is that everyone in my life that should know about my sexuality is wonderfully open minded. That being said, my grandma doesn’t know and probably never will. But she doesn’t really need to know granddaughter’s sex life. I suppose the other reason I don’t have a coming out story is because I’m not entirely gay. Coming out as pansexual (or bisexual) is always thought of as a half-arsed sort of revelation compared to absolute homosexuality, which is the epitome of sexuality disclosures. Pansexuality, however, almost always needs to be explained or is followed by a knowing nod then an immediate wikipedia search of the unknown term. It is defined as the attraction to people completely regardless of gender. Unlike bisexual, it does not identify two binary genders, but instead includes transgender, gender neutral etc into it’s attraction. I was unaware of the actual term myself until probably about a year ago. I was, and probably always have been pansexual but I didn’t know the name for it.
