There’s A Show Tonight That You Should At Least Consider Going To: The Internet
The Internet
Something overlooked by the countless media outlets who showered Frank Ocean with praise after his vague half-coming-out a few weeks ago was that—hello?—one of his very own Odd Future band members, Syd the Kyd, has been a very vocal out lesbian since the group came on the scene. Furthermore, she made it very public with the October release of her video for the woozy hit “Cocaine.” The song is from Syd’s OF side group collab with producer Mike Martian, the Internet, and the video saw her walking hand and hand and making out with another woman. It went unnoticed by the mainstream media, but since much of the maelstrom surrounding her and the Wolf Gang is born online, it was on fan sites, YouTube comments and band message boards that her sexuality was dissected, parsed and unpacked, not in magazine think pieces. And so, it seems, as L-Boy not-so-delicately put it on OF’s last album, “Syd’s gay ass” will be free to continue “putting her clit on other bitches’ nipples and shit” in relative peace. -Brian McManus

Honestly, people TEND to be more accepting of women’s sexual fluidity than they are of men’s. Maybe that’s why Sid’s sexuality wasn’t seen as a big deal.
