Michael jackson lgbt

I&#;ve been catching up on reading lately, including Michael Jackson&#;s last few months of life. I&#;ve come upon an article published by the U.K.-based Daily Mail, under the byline of Ian Halperin. Halperin is a writer and the author of Unmasked: The Final Years of Michael Jackson and it is slated to be released in July.

According to Wikipedia, Halperin is an investigative reporter who has contributed to stateside shows like 60 Minutes II, and cable shows on Court TV. He&#;s written or co-authored at least nine books on celebrities like the late Kurt Cobain, James Taylor and Celine Dion.

It was Halperin who predicted in December that Jackson was ill and would be dead within six months, according to his sources. In Touch and The Sun (U.K.) picked up the story and referenced Halperin. Of course, the Jackson camp countered that Michael was the picture of health, and he soon embarked on the ill-fated concert dates in London. Six months and one day after Halperin made his prediction, Michael J

Michael Jackson Quote, "I'm not Gay, I'm not bisexual, I'm not Curious but I Love and Respect the Gay life Stile Nonetheless. And Barber Walters interviewed MJ and asked him if he was Gay, and he said he would answer that question off camera, and he told her he didn't wish to hurt his Gay fans feelings but that he was not Gay, and if they wanted to think he was Gay he was fine with that.

Maybe it happened with Barbara Walters as well, but it was Steve Ivory who said this:

When I grew up and started writing, I myself made onto the pages of Jet: in , I interviewed Michael Jackson at the Jackson family noun for Soul Newspaper when rumors were swirling that he was Gay. So I asked him point blank. A previously talkative Jackson sitting in front of me suddenly paused. Then his eyes went down to the cassette recorder in my lap. &#;Turn off the tape recorder,&#; he said quietly.
I did as he requested. Jackson said no, he wasn&#;t Gay, but that he didn&#;t contain a

Paris Jackson Speaks on Her Sexuality and Dad Michael Jackson's Support
Paris Jackson has opened up about her sexuality and says her father, Michael Jackson, who died 11 years ago, was supportive of who she is. In her new Facebook Watch series, “Unfiltered: Paris Jackson & Gabriel Glenn," Paris shared that her dad, known to the rest of the world as "The King of Pop," “caught on cute quick,” that she was attracted to the same sex.
"I think he just felt the energy and he would like kind of tease me the same way that he would tease my brothers, like 'Oh, you got yourself a girlfriend,'" she shared. Paris was only 11 years old when she lost her father, but she said she realizes now that having that support at such a adj age is something to be grateful for.
"I’m very lucky to have that, especially so fresh — I think I was like 8 or 9," she admitted. "Not many children include that experience."
Paris, who is in a relationship with Gabriel Glenn, describes herself as “gay,” but says that is not a proper representation of h

Michael Jackson saved my life or, at least, he helped me figure out how to exist it. This September, Sony released the 25th-anniversary edition of Jackson&#;s seventh album, Bad. What I hope we remember about Jackson and this album are the ways that he presented a palette of choices for how to be in the world, especially in terms of gender.
Recently, Lady Gaga helped raise more than $5 million at a charity auction by purchasing 55 items from Michael Jackson&#;s wardrobe, including his multi-buckled Bad jacket and one of his trademark white gloves. In a tweet to her fans, Gaga cited the importance of archiving Jackson&#;s costumes for the ways they represent his &#;spirit&#; and &#;bravery&#; for his fans.
Both Michael Jackson and Lady Gaga challenge gender binaries and model the might of self-transformation through music, clothing and performance. Music can provide a lifeline, a space of fantasy and reinvention when the world seems confining. This is especially important for LGBTQ fans, whose gender and sexual identities are either rendered invisible or socially dangerous. As b
