Miley Cyrus criticised for NOT being homophobic
 
The American Family Association have reacted to a statement made by Miley Cyrus implying she is pro-homosexuality and labelled her 'not the positive role model she was once thought to be'.

In a recent interview with the star regarding the closing track on her current LP 'Can't Be Tamed' entitled My Heart Beats For Love which she claimed to have written after being inspired by her gay make up artist, Cyrus said:

Quote:

Everyone deserves to love and be loved and most importantly smile. Jesus loves you and your partner and wants you to know how much he cares! That's like a daddy not loving his lil boy 'cause he's gay and that is wrong and very sad. Like I said, everyone deserves to be happy. God’s greatest commandment is to love. And judging is not loving. I am a Christian and I love you - gay or not - because you are no different than anyone else! We are all God's children.
American Family Association reacted:

Quote:

Such statements will send the wrong message to our children who are influenced by this teenage megastar. Parents need to realize that Cyrus is not the positive role model she was once thought to be.... Clearly she is confused and does not understand the Bible.

It's things like this that make me realise just how backwards the US still are in many ways.

It's less to do with the fact they are american and more to do with the fact that they are the worst kind of christians really.

What a stupid organisation.

That's the only good thing I've ever heard Miley Cyrus day & she gets slated for it, typical.
Americans are so backwards.

Chri$ 11-07-2010 03:56 AM

I think its pathetic... Someone being happy is MUCH more important than that bible crap!

GO MILEY!

The depressing part is just how powerful the American Family Association is. They are a very influential lobbying organization, especially in the House of Representatives. Expect to see them getting their own way if the Republicans get back in power.

Omg , go Miley (8) Stand for what you believe in (8)

:thumbs:
Unfortunately they're an organisation with a lot of clout in the republican party.

I'm actually a Christian, but I agree with what she's saying to be honest. Still don't like her though but I get her point.

MojoNixon 11-07-2010 12:37 PM

She is too young to know the truth.

In what way LT, thats a very vague comment?

The American Family Association should change it's name to The Ignorant Judgemental Christians of America. They in NO way represent american families with their disgustingly ignorant and close-minded views on family. Disgusting. Miley is SENDING a positive message, to say she is sending a bad message for saying everyone should be allowed to love each other? Absolutely horrdenous. This pisses me off so much....

Umm, how does this show that America is "backwards"??? You do realize that Mylie Cyrus is AMERICAN right?? so are you saying what she said was "backwards"? You do realize that the gay rights movement as we know it today BEGAN in America, right? You know that the rainbow flag you see at gay pride parades all around the world now, you realize that flag is American right and came FROM the AMERICAN gay rights movement?

Please stop being so xenophobic against Americans, because it's very disrespectful to the many AMERICANS that have created the gay rights movement, and have fought and died for gay rights around the world.

You could hear much worse said about gay people at any local English pub than what that christian family orgnization said in their press release.

Generally, America can be regarded as split, 2 sides against the middle, liberal against conservative. East and west coast against the states in the middle.

Well, they are dicks.
