Stars show respect for Frank Ocean after he reveals first love was a man

A host of top music stars have shown their admiration and respect for Frank Ocean after he revealed that his first love was a man.

The Odd Future rapper posted a letter on his tumblr page detailing a love he had for a man "four summers ago".

The letter opens: "4 summers ago, I met somebody. I was 19 years old. He was too. We spent that summer, and the summer after, together. Everyday almost. And on the days we were together, time would glide. Most of the day I'd see him, and his smile."

He continued: "Sleep I would often share with him. By the time I realised I was in love, it was malignant. It was hopeless. There was no escaping, no negotiating to the women I had been with, the ones I cared for and thought I was in love with."

Ed Sheeran tweeted his admiration for Ocean, saying "Big up frank ocean", which Jessie J later retweeted.

Scissor Sisters mainman Jake Shears tweeted "Go on frank ocean" whilst Example said:

"Respect to Frank Ocean. Just waiting for Tom Cruise to work out how to use NotePad now..."
