Yesterday Frank Ocean opened up on his sexuality on his Tumblr page in a beautifully worded letter sending shockwaves through the music industry. The hip-hop world is typically tight guarded on LGBT issues, but the reaction from his peers on Twitter was overwhelmingly supportive. Here are some of the more notable notes of encouragement:
