Paris Jackson, the only daughter of pop legend Michael Jackson, opened up about her sexuality with her 3.2 Instagram followers over the weekend.
During a Q&A on session with fans, the 20-year-old actress/model was asked “Are you bi?”
Using a new “Questions Sticker” the platform introduced last week, Jackson replied: “that’s what you guys call it so i guess but who needs labels”.
Rumors about Jackson’s sexuality have been swirling since last year when she was spotted several times with 25-year-old model/actress Cara Delavingne.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
However, when asked if she and Delevingne were an, Jackson shot back: “None of your goddamn business.”
After news spread that Jackson was bi, she took to Twitter to say it’s really not that big a deal, guys. She’s actually been out for years.
EVERYONE HAS KNOWN FOR YEARS I CAME OUT WHEN I WAS 14 WTF https://t.co/YSkD0iwHmj

She repeated this sentiment again on Instagram:
“And I’m not ‘bisexual,’” she added. “I just love people for people. I don’t label myself, so please don’t label me.”

Who needs labels?
Anyone who wishes to communicate with another human because all words are labels. Using that stupid argument, which is just vain virtue signaling, indicates ignorance.

lol, i love your comment.
Labels are necessary, even the “no-label” has sort of become a label itself (a super cheesy, corny one to be precise.)

Labels…everyone needs them. My thought that everyone is Bi just some people choose not to follow thru in their same sex experiences.

From the article: “However, when asked if she and Delevingne were an, Jackson shot back: “None of your goddamn business.”
I stand with her on that and her belief of “who needs labels”. To say the trans community has over done it with labels is an understatement. Cis this and cis that along with trans this and trans that is making people cringe, and I am talking about gay people (of all people). A friend of mine who does social work in NYC had me in stitches last year when he told a group of us the responses he received from people when he asked them what do they identify as.

Oh please who really cares. A true revelation would be when she announces that she doesn’t actually have any of Michael’s DNA in her body.

““And I’m not ‘bisexual,’” she added. “I just love people for people. I don’t label myself, so please don’t label me.” ”
Translation: she still is self hating and not ready to deal with reality.
She’s unfortunately probably one step away from announcing she’s got a new boyfriend.
