Yes, but havin more of a lot to lose is better than havin alot of nothin
to lose. Plus since the times done changed, I thank Frank also had a lot
to gain seein how people is makin mainstream careers outta OPENLY caterin
to gay folk (Gaga comes to mind). Mostly tho Frank bein in with OF gave
him not only a lot mo fans but alotta WHITE (and other ethnicities) fans who
won't give two shits about his sexuality. Donnie was LARGELY sangin to
black audiences and one look at that "Would you date a bi man" post in
General Discussion should let you know what coming completely
out woulda did to Donnie's career.
