Miley Cyrus has backtracked following a backlash against comments she made about “not having to be gay”.
The singer sparked controversy after doing a
Instagram Live with boyfriend Cody Simpson, in which she said: “There are good men out there, guys, don’t give up. You don’t have to be gay, there are good people with dicks out there, you’ve just got to find them.”She continued: “You’ve got to find a dick that’s not a dick, you know? I always thought I had to be gay, because I thought all guys were evil, but it’s not true. There are good people out there that just happen to have dicks. I’ve only ever met one, and he’s on this live.”“Don’t give up, you don’t have to be gay, there are good dicks out there, you just have to find them”“I always thought I had to be gay because all guys are evil but that’s not true”- @MileyCyrus what's good? pic.twitter.com/y3yjUGpCSN— • (@bljcmie) October 21, 2019Miley, who came out as pansexual and genderfluid in 2015, was subsequently accused of perpetuating the damaging notion that sexuality is a choice with her remarks. Miley, this is so not it.
Women don’t “have to be gay” because they “can’t find a good person with a d*ck”. Don’t use the queer community as a stop-gap because you couldn’t find a boyfriend.People aren’t queer because they “gave up” on men. This is so insulting. pic.twitter.com/lAzcEjHRcB— Rosie Percy (@rosiepercy) October 21, 2019this is not only disappointing but incredibly insulting and damaging to the queer community being gay isn’t a choice (unless you’re miley, apparently) pic.twitter.com/HceK1RMfaH— joshua (@cuddlesandcoke) October 21, 2019Damn. In 30 seconds @MileyCyrus managed to burn up all goodwill she'd ever built with queer and trans people.Not all "guys" have dicks, Miley. Thought you knew better.You "had to be gay" because men are bad? Do you not realize what an anti-lesbian trope that is?Gross.— James Bradford's Undead Corpse (@jamesebradford) October 21, 2019miley said with her WHOLE CHEST "you aint gotta be gay guys, theres some good men with good dicks out there"........like what type of ignorant shit is that..... pic.twitter.com/MhI4yJnpsd— spooky bre (@chooseIovehes) October 21, 2019jesus christ, miley, being gay isn’t a fucking back up plan pic.twitter.com/V9gNeEnWfI— aub (@hnyvoodoochild) October 21, 2019Miley really had to go and say some dumb shit about being gay pic.twitter.com/wkP4LwdEi2— ًً (@iforgiveyiew) October 21, 2019She has now clarified that she was “talking shit about sucky guys” and has reiterated her support for the LGBTQ community.
“Let me be clear,” she wrote on Instagram Stories, “YOU don’t CHOOSE your sexuality. You are born as you are. It has always been my priority to protect the LGBTQ community I am a part of. Happy Monday!”Earlier this year, Miley split from husband Chris Hemsworth after less than a year of marriage, before embarking on a short-lived romance with blogger Kaitlynn Carter. Before her split from Chris, Miley candidly discussed her “complex” marriage and her evolving sexuality.“I’m in a hetero relationship, but I still am very sexually attracted to women,” she said at the time.
“People become vegetarian for health reasons, but bacon is still fucking good, and I know that. I made a partner decision. This is the person I feel has my back the most.”READ MORE...
