Paris Jackson has something to say: she’s bisexual and has been since the age of 14.

Kinda.

If labels are important to people.

She’d rather not use the label at all and relish in the thought of dating a person because of who they are and not their genitalia.

“I came out when I was 14. I’ve referred to the community as ‘my fellow LGBTQ+’ on stage before,” she shared on Insta to 3.2 million of her followers. “I’ve talked about having a crush on girls when I was eight in my Rolling Stone article.”

More to the point: “There are pictures of me kissing girls online. Why are people just now saying this is news?”

The 20-year-old gorgeous spawn of the late-Michael Jackson added, “I just love people for people. I don’t label myself so please don’t label me. Thank you!”

And that Rolling Stone interview she mentioned previously?

Here’s what it said:

“I was eight years old, in love with this female on the cover of a magazine,” she remembered. “Instead of yelling at me, like most homophobic parents, he [father Michael Jackson] was making fun of me, like, ‘Oh, you got yourself a girlfriend.’”

Jackson publicly dated rocker Michael Snoddy, but the two broke up in January 2017. She’s recently been linked to supermodel Cara Delevingne.
