Miley Cyrus said what?
Edited on Fri May-01-09 08:37 PM by t0dd
Miley Cyrus is being heavily criticized by conservative groups for her stance supporting same-sex marriage; the organization OneMillionMoms.com has reacted especially vehemently. Here is the current "issue" on their site:



Miley Cyrus said what?

http://www.onemillionmoms.com/currentissue.asp

"Hannah Montana" star Miley Cyrus recently made statements supporting gay marriage.

Her comments were in response to a question posed to Miss California Carrie Prejean in the April 19 Miss USA Pageant. Homosexual celeblogger Perez Hilton was the pageant judge who asked Prejean her opinion of same-sex marriage, to which she responded that marriage should be between a man and a woman. Outraged by her response, Hilton began blasting the beauty queen and asked for celebrities to share their thoughts on gay marriage.

Miley Cyrus responded to Hilton through her Twitter.com account with the following comments:

* "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 cuz 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."

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.

Take Action

Send Miley Cyrus a letter stating that you do not approve of her comments.

Clearly she is confused and does not understand the Bible. Please pray for the Lord to open her eyes to the truth.

Check out the articles below for a better understanding of this controversial issue.

3. She'll be caught between a rock and a hard place ...
she apologizes, she's toast with my daughter's crowd (the pro-equality crowd). If she doesn't, the fundies won't let their kids go to her concerts or buy her stuff.

5. what a terrible "message" for the kids
I can see how they'd be outraged:

* "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 cuz 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."

What an awful lesson to teach to children! She should be spouting hate and intolerance like a 'good' Christian!

11. Got to admit I judged Miley harshly when she said she was a
devout Christian with high moral values. Now, maybe I think she's a real Christian - a true follower of Jesus. I hope she weathers the storm she's about to go through.

31. And A Tax Cheat
I've decided that my new kneejerk response to the homophobes against gay marriage.

"If you're against gay marriage, you're a tax cheat. Pay unto Caesar!"

I don't care if i'm right or not! They don't. Why should i?

21. I can agree the taste level falls short, but
She's a clothed (albeit skimpily clothed) model, not a porn star.

I think "onemilliondads.com" just like to get whipped into a lather about their outrage, because they can't take their minds off it.

28. The plane is flying to Las Vegas, so taste isn't that much of a consideration
According to , the (lone) plane with the image of the swimsuit model will be flying the New-York-to-Las-Vegas route.

You tell me what falls short of the taste level appropriate to Las Vegas. I mean, I love the place, but it must be the most garish city in the world.

27. Because it's a chance to make the RW fundie nutjobs look bad
The dispute has escalated beyond the pageant contestant and the gossip columnist. We now have, in one corner, a major organization of the Christian right (the American Family Association, which operates One Million Moms). In the other corner, we have a very popular star, who's being criticized for articulating a liberal religious view that many people agree with.

The fundies are denouncing Miley Cyrus's message of love, happiness, and acceptance. That really highlights their narrow-mindedness.

29. Dolly Parton is her godmother.
They better be real careful. Dolly has always said she doesn't care if gay people get married. She will not back away from a fight, and she's not scared of anybody.

38. I just got my US Weekly magazine
and they have a blurb of more celebs than Miley responding to miss anal California.

Rob Thompson, Joshua Jackson, Debra Messing, Connie Britton..and even Britney Spears and Heidi Montag all say they support Gay Marriage with their particular quotes.

Miley's quote in the mag is "I believe everyone deserves to be happy..God's greatest commandment is to love. And, judging is not loving."

Love Rob Thompson's "It's ridiculous that it's 2009 and we're still talking about it..That two people who love each other wouldn't be able to get married just seems barbaric." Yeah, Rob!

49. For the crazy Evangelical
God's love is conditional and is earned by their goodness. See they have God's love the rest of us heathens don't.

The batshit crazy thing is, is it is the exact opposite of Christian theology.

I hope these idiotic evangelistic parents tell their kids they can't watch their favorite TV show anymore because of this. When the kids grow up a good portion of them won't follow their parents religious fervor. The shrinking of their ranks will continue.
