On the first episode of Unfiltered: Paris Jackson and Gabriel Glenn, Paris Jackson (pictured above in green) spoke about her late father Michael Jackson's unconditional support. Paris talked about feeling confused about her attraction to women as a kid, because all she had ever seen in the media were heteronormative couples.

Paris explained in the June 30, 2020 episode, "My first thoughts and experiences... I didn't know that it was a thing and so, I was a little conflicted about it because all I'd ever seen were men and women on TV together and so, these thoughts didn't really make sense to me." But Paris said her dad saw through this confusion and offered her nothing but support. "My dad caught on pretty quick," she said.

The 22-year-old explained, "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.' If we're staring at a magazine of a woman too hard, he'd be like, 'Oh, you like her!'"

Paris realized this was not the norm for most children and said, "I'm very lucky to have that, especially so young — I think I was like 8 or 9. Not many children have that experience." While this sounds like a nurturing environment for Paris, after Michael died, she didn't have the same unwavering support from her extended family.
