with whom she chooses to partner with. Instead, she said she's attracted to people, regardless of their gender. Her new comments about feeling like she "had to" be queer because she had given up on men have not only surprised fans, but angered many who were quick to point out that equating queerness with giving up is not just insulting, but completely wrong.
"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.

You 'had to be gay' because men are bad? Do you not realize what an anti-lesbian trope that is?" someone elseOthers on Twitter defended Miley, saying they thought she was joking. Still, even if it was a joke, Miley's comments played into age-old harmful stereotypes about the queer community.
