Miley Cyrus covers the new issue of Marie Claire ahead of hosting the
MTV VMAs at the end of the month but also to talk about her Happy Hippie
Foundation. Click here
to watch the video at the bottom of the page to hear her talking about
raising awareness for homelessness within the LGBT community, as young
people struggle to find acceptance and cope with the rejection they
experience in their homes, from their families. This is a reality I saw
firsthand in my work with Covenant House Vancouver.
For a lot of street kids, existing in an alley is preferable to the
sh-t they took from the people who were supposed to love them the most.
Two years ago, Miley Cyrus was Public Enemy #1 after she twerked her way to infamy at the VMAs. Everyone had a prediction. She was bringing down the world. She was self-destructing. She was The Worst.
None of that ended up happening. In fact, you could say that Miley’s shown more growth the last couple of years than many of her peers. Both Miley and Taylor Swift have been criticised for their lack of cultural sensitivity, their privilege, their myopia. Which one, if any, do you think is most likely to have taken the time to listen to that feedback and process it?
Miley’s an easy target though. Because, well, she won’t put any clothes on or apologise for it, although she does say that she doesn’t understand why her nudity is so offensive when other images and messages are much more alarming:
"I don't get the violence revenge thing. That's supposed to be a good example? And I'm a bad role model because I'm running around with my titties out? I'm not sure how titties are worse than guns."
