That's a smart move by Frank's manager. The decision might not be due to him being gay, but the controversy is a good thing.

There's no way Target could have thought their affiliation with anti-gay groups wouldn't be mentioned. They should have ordered a small amount of copies to save face. Even if they lost money, its better than the negative attention.

:rudy: ... well there goes the last remaining doubt I had that him announcing he was gay a couple days before the album dropped was (in part) a publicity stunt....his manager trying to make him some kind of gay martyr out of some retailer's last ditch effort to protect the brick and mortar business model...can't say it wasn't wildly successful though, it's made him a media darling and no doubt has helped with the hype for the project and prolly has something to do with the love affair and fawning from certain super liberal hipster circles (pitchfork pretty much claims his album is one of the greatest in the history of recorded media)

50 Cent.....take notes sir, you know what you have to do

Target, or any other big corporation, don't want any part of that Gay And Lesbian backlash. There has to be more than meets the eye.

300 murders a year
target just hit frank with the biggest "no homo" you could give any person lol


naw this shyt is getting laughable, once again another homosexual issue is getting blown up to the top of the media. this irrelevant ass shyt is right on par with peta and they fight for animals and that dumb ass gay marriage debate.

meanwhile issues that really affect americans get footnote coverage in some newspaper that nobody reads anymore due to the internet.

who gives a fukk if dude gay, and why is it a burden on hip hop to accept him? like everybody who actually have some principles are behind in time and should step up to the new era where everything goes. well everything dont go and people have they right to believe the act is wrong, just like people have they right to believe the act is right. let people have they beliefs and stop using political pressure to corner people into acceptance.
