Paris Jackson Says She 'Came Out' Years Ago and Doesn't Want to be Labeled

One fan asked Paris Jackson if she was bisexual, and she took to social media on Monday (July 16) to address the topic, "That's what you guys call it so I guess, but who needs labels," the 20-year-old responded in a since-deleted Instagram comment, via PEOPLE.

"How many times have I publicly referred to the community as 'my fellow LGBTQ+'? like even on stage," Jackson later tweeted. "I've been apart [sic] of the community for years. I even mentioned having crushes on girls when I was 8 in a magazine before. I've been caught kissing girls in public. This is not news..."

Jackson later clarified on her Instagram Story: "I came out when i was 14.. i’ve referred to the community as ‘my fellow LGBTQ+’ on stage before. i’ve talked about having a crush on girls when i was 8 in my Rolling Stone article. There are pictures of me kissing girls online. why are people just now saying this is news?”
​
"and i'm not 'bisexual' i just love people for people," she added. "i don't label myself so please don't label me. thank you!"
