Here's what an artist singing about being gay looks like.
This whole song is about being in love while closeted.
Straightforward and real. Not some mysterious music riddle bullshit.
Luther Vandross was in the closet until he died and still did more for the LGBT community through his music than Frank ever has, or ever will.

Of course

Just cus they both gay doesn’t mean you have to compare them

Lmao huh

Where’s his Blonde?

Every single Luther Vandross album is better than Blonde.

nope

You're heterosexual you don't know s***

REAL GAY MUSIC

Proud het

Another right-wing troll account grandfathered in from KTT1 🙄

why is frank obligated to do something for the gay community

Luther Vandross was gay?!

Let that resentment out sir

Sometimes artists just wanna make music without having this obligation shoved on them. You expect Tyler the Creator and Isaiah Rashad to make music that "does something" for the LGBT+ community? S*** is lame

Patti labelle could’ve just made that up

All I ever see you doing here is hating on hip-hop and making snide replies. Seems like you are the one filled with resentment

I’m good

How does this song make sense when he was also closeted

how he do more for the LGBT community when you literally just said he was in the closet until he died?

Writing from the perspective of his lover maybe

Even if he was never out at the time, a lot of Luther's songs feel like reflections on the gay experience. Sometimes it's very obvious, like his cover of Killing Me Softly where he didn't even bother to change the pronouns around. Other times, it's a straight song with gay subtext like 'Secret Love'. More broadly, the sense of loneliness and wistfulness in his songs is something I think a lot of gay people can relate to. Meanwhile. Frank's songs are shallow and passionless and reflect only on his own narcissism.

Note that I said that Luther Vandross did "more for the LGBT community through his music". There are other ways to help the community outside of art, of course - activism, charity, etc. - Luther didn't do these, but tbf Frank hardly does any of those things either. And we should hold Frank to a higher standard, because people are more accepting now and there is more room to help the community without losing everything.

Luther made beautiful music,period. Has nothing to do with LGBT,although that adds an extra layer to his greatness

Other people want to compare them. It’s okay if that bothers you.

Only people who get mad at Frank are the one's who can't read
