Frank Ocean breaks silence with blog on Orlando: 'Many wish we didn’t exist'; Guardian, 6/21/16

Amanda Holpuch, Guardian; Frank Ocean breaks silence with blog on Orlando: 'Many wish we didn’t exist' :
"Frank Ocean has mourned hateful acts towards the LGBT community in an emotional blogpost responding to the Orlando shooting, writing: “Many hate us and wish we didn’t exist.”...
“Many don’t see anything wrong with passing down the same old values that send thousands of kids into suicidal depression each year,” Ocean said. “So we say pride and we express love for who and what we are. Because who else will in earnest?”...
Ocean said: “I daydream on the idea that maybe all this barbarism and all these transgressions against ourselves is an equal and opposite reaction to something better happening in this world, some great swelling wave of openness and wakefulness out here.”"
