Michael Jordan's daughter, Jasmine, rumored to have come out gay

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.
