Reports that basketball great Michael Jordan's daughter, Jasmine
Jordan, has come out gay spread Tuesday on social media and several
websites.
UK's Pink News reported that Jasmine, a 20-year-old junior
at Syracuse University, had confirmed that she's a lesbian in a
message to a user but failed to publish the exchange.
“Responding to users' questions on whether or not she was gay,
she confirmed that it is true,” the
site wrote.
After posting a picture of herself and Carmen Tyson-Thomas, a
former guard for Syracuse University, she wrote: “This little
closet is holding me back.” But she later added: “Lmao I love
how media took my 'little closet' video and flipped it. Haha. No, I
seriously have a little closet.”
She also posted on her Instagram account: “Until love, trust,
honesty, respect, loyalty, commitment, genuine happiness and other
characteristics or aspects I want in a relationship is defined by one
gender then and only then will I discuss my sexual preference.”
Users left mostly supportive comments on her Instagram
page.
In April, Magic Johnson's son, Earvin “EJ” Johnson III, came
out gay.
