Miley Cyrus Slammed for Suggesting Being Gay is a Choice

Towleroad October 21, 2019 Leave a Comment

Miley Cyrus is facing criticism for remarks she made in an Instagram story on Sunday night.

"I always thought I had to be gay because I thought, all guys were evil but it's not true" – Miley Cyrus pic.twitter.com/23RBA8QBug

— MTV UK (@MTVUK) October 21, 2019

Said Cyrus, speaking of her relationship with Cody Simpson: “I just always thought I had to be gay because all guys are evil, but it's not true. … You don't have to be gay, there are good people with dicks out there – you've just got to find them.”

“I've only met one,” she added, taking a dig at ex-husband Liam Hemsworth.

Cyrus is being called out on Twitter for perpetuating the lie that being gay is a choice.

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

Miley Cyrus just told people on Instagram that "you don't have to be gay." So there you have it. The dumbest thing she's ever said. pic.twitter.com/Y7bq9VACEI

I'm sorry. I'm confused. Did @MileyCyrus really say that she thought she had to be gay because there weren't any good guys out there? Is she saying she was choosing to be gay? This statement is extremely harmful if true and I hope she clarifies it. pic.twitter.com/3SrRXp55TT

UPDATE: Cyrus has responded to the controversy, tweeting: “I was talking shit about sucky guys, but let me be clear, 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 part of.”
