In the letter Frank Ocean touches on the recent shooting that took place at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando Florida. He also touches on the bathroom bill passed in North Carolina, same sex marriage and even a transphobic scene caused my his father at a young age.
In the letter he said, “I read in the paper that my brothers are being thrown from rooftops blindfolded with their hands tied behind their backs for violating sharia law. I heard the crowds stone these fallen men if they move after they hit the ground. I heard it’s in the name of God. I heard my pastor speak for God too, quoting scripture from his book. Words like abomination popped off my skin like hot grease as he went on to describe a lake of fire that God wanted me in.”
