“How are you navigating being queer
in the music business?” Porter asked. “Do you feel marginalized?
If so, why do you think this is the case?”
“I navigate it pretty smooth so far,”
Ocean,
31, responded. “If anything my personal life needs the GPS
sometimes.”
Speaking recently with GAYLETTER, Ocean
said that he doesn't use dating apps because he's been in a
relationship for three years.
