On July 13, 2018, in response to a question on her Instagram story whether Jackson is bisexual, she wrote: “That’s what you guys call it so I (sic) guess but who needs labels.”
She later added to Twitter: “Everyone has known for years I came out when I was 14, WTF.” “How many times have I publicly referred to the community as ‘my fellow LGBTQ+’? Like, even on stage. I’ve been apart of the community for years. I even mentioned having crushes on girls when I was eight in a magazine before. I’ve been caught kissing girls in public.”
Again, Jackson added to her Instagram story: “And I’m not bisexual, I just love people for people.”.
