It sparked a major controversy on Twitter—now Miley Cyrus tells you the whole story.
Imagine finding someone you love more than anything in the world, who you would risk your life for but couldn’t marry. And you couldn’t have that special day the way your friends do—you know, wear the ring on your finger and have it mean the same thing as everybody else. Just put yourself in that person’s shoes. It makes me feel sick to my stomach.
When I shared a picture of my tattoo on my Twitter page and said, “All LOVE is equal,” a lot of people mocked me—they said, “What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl!” And I said, “Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.” The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me. At one point I had to say, “Dude, everyone lay off.” Can’t people have friendly debates about sensitive topics without it turning into unnecessary threats?
I believe every American should be allowed the same rights and civil liberties. Without legalized same-sex marriage, most of the time you cannot share the same health benefits, you are not considered next of kin and you are not granted the same securities as a heterosexual couple. How is this different than having someone sit in the back of the bus because of their skin color?
One day I read online about the head of Urban Outfitters donating to a presidential candidate who does not support equality for everyone. I was shocked and disappointed that a company with such diversity would exclude such a large group of people. I can no longer bring myself to shop there.
We all should be tolerant of one another and embrace our differences. My dad [country singer Billy Ray Cyrus], who is a real man’s man, lives on the farm and is as Southern and straight as they come. He loves my gay friends and even supports same-sex marriage. If my father can do it, anyone can.
This is America, the nation of dreams. We’re so proud of that. And yet certain people are excluded. It’s just not right.

I agree with everything Miley said. I love her so much. “All love is equal.”
I think Miley is right. Here in Argentina same-sex marriage is legalized.
i honestly can’t support homosexuality, and she has it wrong, Christianity is part love, but part reaching out. i have friends that are homo sexual, that are okay with me not supporting it, tolerance is a two-way street. I would like to meet Miley someday, but she probably wouldn’t care for me because i am very conservative
Every word is right.
I never saw this topic from this point of view! And she is so right everyone deserves to have the same rights! Is not about if you like or not gay people is about equallity
I totally agree with Miley & subscribe to her every word!
hey miley, i luv you, but they are sick of mind,think about it,anorexic gurlz are sick, cuz they see herself fat, and they are more skinny and LOSKELETAL, i have a friend gay 2, i love him with all my heart, but I can not tolerate gay marriage,but in my country Argentina, is now aloud. well i dont like a shit about it…
and about this: “Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.”, yes christianity is about love, the love of Jesus and God and whatever..but in the bible said that gays cannot get maried, people nowadays, sorry of what im gonna said, but cuz of people like u and others that think like you, this subject is gettin more normal, and it must not be like that.
Hope you don’t hate me Miley, i really love you, but about that, im not gonna be part of this
Well in my country if you openly admit that you are gay, you will be executed. At least you have the basic human rights in America.
Miley is so right <3
People should know that people are born gay and that they don’t choose to be gay. And god loves ALL his children. So if god says that homosexuality is wrong then no one in the world would be gay.
