Michael Jordan's Daughter Comes Out

The daughter of basketball superstar Michael Jordan has come out via her Instagram account.

On 29 August, Jordan’s only daughter Jasmine, 20, posted a photograph of herself and girlfriend Tyson-Thomas on the site with the caption: “This Little Closet Is Holding Me Back.” Responding to users’ questions on whether or not she was gay, she confirmed that it is true. Jasmine’s girlfriend is a former Syracuse Orange basketball star. She previously wrote: “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.”
