As much as I can’t stand Miley Cyrus’ music, big loud mouth and stage antics, this girl has a very efficient frontal lobe at the right place, especially when it comes to criticize people in power with awful ideas. The proof?
She called Indiana governor Mike Pence an asshole on Instagram, because he passed a controversial bill on March 26th, prohibiting state and local governments from hindering a person’s right to practice their religion… Although the bill doesn’t specifically mention sexual orientation, many worry it will also make it possible for employers to discriminate against gay candidates, citing religious reasons… meaning if you live in Indiana you may legally refuse to hire someone who is gay because of your religious believes! (it has since been amended)
Cyrus is right, and she didn’t stop there, two days ago, she tweeted Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton’s phone number, when he made an appearance on CNN’s Wolf Blitzer to defend the law, and make some really stupid comparisons:
‘I think it’s important we have a sense of perspective about our priorities. In Iran, they hang you for the crime of being gay. They’re currently imprisoning an American preacher for spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ in Iran. We should focus on the most important priorities that our country faces right now.’
What the hell was he talking about? Because they hang gay people in Iran, American gay people should be happy we don’t do the same thing, and just practice discrimination? ‘Senator Cotton thinks gay community needs to get ‘perspective’ cuz ‘In Iran they hang you for the crime of being gay,… Let’s stir some shit up! Senator Cotton (202) 224-2353 !!!! Happy Hippies call & express why freedom is important to us & our country!’ tweeted Miley.
As I said this girl may not be able to keep her clothes on or her tongue inside her mouth for more than two minutes, but she is not afraid to criticize the religious fanatics of this country, and I like it. In 2012 she had already caused some stirs while tweeting a quote of my favorite astrophysicist, Lawrence Krauss: ‘Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded, because the elements– the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution and for life– weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way for them to get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode. So forget Jesus; the stars died so that you could live.’… so despite the appearance, despite her Christian upbringing, Miley Cyrus has a very functional brain.
