Rinzal Benson. The question of Tyler, the Creator's sexuality has been a long-standing topic of public discussion and speculation. While he has never explicitly labeled himself as gay, his evolving public persona and artistic expressions have fueled ongoing interpretations and debates. Understanding the complexities surrounding this issue requires examining his career trajectory and public statements.
It was different. I always thought Tyler was actually mocking aggro homophobic misogynistic hiphop by creating a caricature of it. He was so over the top with it that he was funny. He says it over and over.
Because he said 2 white guys are attractive he exclusively likes white people? Maybe, But it's kinda upsetting. We live in a gay community that glorify whiteness and there is a lack of POC gay representation in the gay media who aren't caricatures of the "yasssss queen type. Situations like that lower the self esteem of POC and contribute to the narrative of not being desirable unless you're white or pass for white.
Tyler, The Creator has known Frank Ocean longer than most. Impressed by what he saw, Frank called Tyler to compliment him, which became the starting point of their friendship. Soon after, Frank became a member of Odd Future. During an interview with Rolling Stone , Tyler was asked whether he knew Frank was gay before he came out to the public.
