Today Paper Magazine have revealed the full spread as Miley reveals… pretty much everything else. This full-frontal shoot to promote her Happy Hippie non-profit that centres on rallying young people to fight injustice facing homeless youth, LGBT youth and ‘vulnerable populations’. Never one to do things by halves, Miley certainly has drawn attention to the charity, getting a homeless guy to accompany her to the MTV Video Music awards last year, performing with the infamous Joan Jett and now as the cover start with “a glass pyramid, some body paint and very little clothing.”
In the accompanying feature story, Miley opens up about her fluid sexuality and gender identification, telling Paper, “I don’t relate to being boy or girl, and I don’t have to have my partner relate to boy or girl.” When she was 14, she told her mother that she had romantic feelings towards women, and her mother accepted how she felt. “These days, Cyrus only wants to grant others the same clemency,” the magazine notes.
“I remember telling her I admire women in a different way. And she asked me what that meant. And I said, I love them. I love them like I love boys. And it was so hard for her to understand. She didn’t want me to be judged and she didn’t want me to go to hell. But she believes in me more than she believes in any god. I just asked for her to accept me. And she has.”
