Tattoo: Frank Ocean got a tattoo of two male bunnies which is taken from the “Homo vs Hetero” illustration of 1983 by Matt Groening who is also the creator of the famous animated series, The Simpsons. His illustration included the queer( whose identity as per society’s gender norms are not fixed) bunny couple and a straight bunny couple. Whereas Frank has only got the male bunnies inked showing the homo part.

Meaning: The overall concept of “Homo vs Hetero” and thus this tattoo symbolizes that there is no difference between homosexuals and heterosexuals when we talk about their happiness, heartbreaks, and respect.
