Miley Cyrus Goes Hippie For Paper!!!
You may have seen Miley at Rupaul’s Drag Race Season Finale last week, but did you see Miley Cyrus Goes Hippie For Paper.
The 22-year-old most unlikely social activist is harnessing that influence to counter what she sees as an unacceptable reality: young people being persecuted and cast out for their sexuality.
Miley stripped down like Kim Kardashian for Paper. The celebrity daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus grew up outside of Nashville with her brothers and sisters on a 500-acre farm where.
Miley says, she began a formative practice of getting up early in the morning and riding a dirt bike around in the nude. In the year of her birth, her father, Billy Ray, became briefly, colossally famous for wearing a mullet and performing a country song about getting dumped. Dolly Parton is her godmother. (“She taught me how to treat people well,” Cyrus says.).
CelebNMusic247.com has this scoop from Paper Magazine:
Inspired in part by the death of Leelah Alcorn, a transgender girl who committed suicide in late 2014 after being forced to undergo so-called “conversion therapy,” Cyrus recently announced the Happy Hippie Foundation, a philanthropic venture designed to raise funds and awareness for homeless and LGBT youth.
She says:
“We can’t keep noticing these kids too late.”
The “Wrecking Ball” singer says that her Happy Hippie Foundation is designed as a corrective to what Cyrus understands as immoral politicking, the sort that pits outliers as pariahs and favors an archaic status quo. The foundation treats at-risk kids with art and animal therapies, two proven balms that have been instrumental in Cyrus’ own self-care. Although she was raised Christian, Cyrus maintains a particular contempt for fundamentalist lawmakers who rally against this sort of progressive, potentially life-saving change.
Cyrus said:
“Those people [shouldn’t] get to make our laws.”
“Those people — the ones who believe that, say, Noah’s Ark was a real seafaring vessel. “That’s fucking insane.”
“We’ve outgrown that fairy tale, like we’ve outgrown fucking Santa and the tooth fairy.”
She added:
“I can’t drive by in my fucking Porsche and not fucking do something.”
“I see it all day: people in their Bentleys and their Rolls and their Ubers, driving past these vets who have fought for our country, or these young women who have been raped.”
“I was doing a show two nights ago, and I was wearing butterfly nipple pasties and butterfly wings. I’m standing there with my tits out, dressed like a butterfly. How the fuck is that fair? How am I so lucky?”
She says she has come to consider her own sexuality — even her own gender identification — fluid.
Miley explains:
“I am literally open to every single thing that is consenting and doesn’t involve an animal and everyone is of age. Everything that’s legal, I’m down with. Yo, I’m down with any adult — anyone over the age of 18 who is down to love me.”
“I don’t relate to being boy or girl, and I don’t have to have my partner relate to boy or girl.”
She says she’s had romantic entanglements with women that were just as serious as the ones (Liam Hemsworth, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Nick Jonas) that ended up in Us Weekly.
She admits:
“I’ve had that.”
“But people never really looked at it, and I never brought it into the spotlight.”
