She’s never been one to hold back when it comes to topics she’s passionate about, and Miley Cyrus voiced her positions on numerous issues for the March 2012 issue of Glamour.

Definitely upset after Prop 8 was struck down in California, the 20-year-old “LOL: Laughing Out Loud” actress – who was spotted shopping at Bed, Bath & Beyond today (February 7) – offered up a passionate defense for same-sex marriage in the magazine while also talking about the rights of Americans and her boycott of Urban Outfitters.

Highlights from Miley’s interview are as follows. For more, be sure to pay a visit to Glamour!

On the reaction to her tattoo picture on twitter:
“When I shared a picture of my tattoo on my twitter page and said, “All LOVE is equal,” a lot of people mocked me – they said, “What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl!” And I said, “Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.” The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me. At one point I had to say, “Dude, everyone lay off.” Can’t people have friendly debates about sensitive topics without it turning into unnecessary threats?”

On her defense of same-sex marriage:
“I believe every American should be allowed the same rights and civil liberties. Without legalized same-sex marriage, most of the time you cannot share the same health benefits, you are not considered next of kin and you are not granted the same securities as a heterosexual couple. How is this different than having someone sit in the back of the bus because of their skin color?”

On her boycott of Urban Outfitters:
“One day I read online about the head of Urban Outfitters donating to a presidential candidate who does not support equality for everyone. I was shocked and disappointed that a company with such diversity would exclude such a large group of people. I can no longer bring myself to shop there.”

On her father, Billy Rae Cyrus’ beliefs:
“We all should be tolerant of one another and embrace our differences. My dad [country singer Billy Rae Cyrus], who is a real man’s man, lives on the farm and is as Southern and straight as they come. He loves my gay friends and even supports same-sex marriage. If my father can do it, anyone can.”

On the rights of Americans:
“This is America, the nation of dreams. We’re so proud of that. And yet certain people are excluded. It’s just not right.”

Miley Cyrus, Ellen DeGeneres, Kelly Osbourne, Chaz Bono and Chely Wright were among the celebrities cheering Tuesday’s Prop 8 ruling.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled California’s 2008 voter-approved gay marriage ban to be unconstitutional.

“Fantastic news about Prop 8 being declared unconstitutional!” tweeted Meghan McCain, daughter of Arizona Senator John McCain. “Here’s to freedom and equality for all Americans.”

Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, who married actress Portia De Rossi in California before Prop 8′s passage, tweeted: “Today we took another step toward equality. #Prop8 was found unconstitutional again. I couldn’t be happier.”

Recently married country music singer Chely Wright messaged her followers: “I am a gay American and it’s my Constitution too. #NOH8 Amen.”

“Are my ears hearing this correctly?” Kelly Osbourne rhetorically asked. “If so my eyes are filling with tears of joy! Thank you lord #Prop8IsUnconstitutional!”

Singer Miley Cyrus agreed: “we’re one step closer beautiful people #Prop8IsUnconstitutional.”

“Today the US Court of Appeals rules that Prop 8 is unconstitutional,” Chaz Bono tweeted. “One step closer to equality for every American.”

The Disney star very sensibly explains how supporting gay rights does not conflict with her Christian beliefs. High five, Miley.

When hard-partying Disney star Miley Cyrus tweeted a picture of the new ‘equals’ sign tattoo on her middle finger last August, Twitter exploded with both supportive and outraged responses. The public declaration of support for gay marriage from a southern American Christian girl got a lot of folk’s knickers in a twist.

Now the 19-year-old has explained her decision to have the tattoo and why it means so much to her in an article published on glamour.com.

She says, “When I shared a picture of my tattoo on my Twitter page and said, “All LOVE is equal,” a lot of people mocked me —they said, ‘What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl!’ And I said, ‘Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me. At one point I had to say, ‘Dude, everyone lay off.’ Can’t people have friendly debates about sensitive topics without it turning into unnecessary threats?

“I believe every American should be allowed the same rights and civil liberties. Without legalized same-sex marriage, most of the time you cannot share the same health benefits, you are not considered next of kin and you are not granted the same securities as a heterosexual couple. How is this different than having someone sit in the back of the bus because of their skin color?”

After pictures of her emerged larking around with a massive penis-shaped cake in January, The Culture and Media Institute, a conservative American group, lambasted her for being a poor role model for girls. We reckon this public declaration of support for a very important political issue proves her role model credentials. Some might say that The Culture and Media Institute have been left with penis-shaped cake on their faces.

What is the internet if not a series of tubes designed to bring you cute photos of miniature animals whenever you need them? Miley Cyrus did her part for the good of the Interweb today by non-stop tweeting photos of her many teeny dogs. “Thank you @peta for all of our toys :) xo Lila Blue,” Miley gushed along with shot after shot of pets Lila, Floyd and Ziggy. In one puppy post, Miley even swooned, “The best kisses to wake up to are from this boy right here!” So take off your overly tight work shoes, collapse onto your couch, and take a moment to unwind with some little doggie ears and faces. You can thank Miley Cyrus later.

“Is anyone else OBSESSING over neons like me?”

—@MileyCyrus, tweeting a picture of her bright green manicure Monday night.

The Can’t Be Tamed singer has the right idea. Neon is a big trend this season. Painting her nails is a great touch without going totally 80s in head-to-toe fluorescent!

As the fall-out from Madonna’s polarizing Super Bowl performance continues, attention is beginning to turn to possible candidates for next year’s half-time show, with the majority of fans on Twitter suggesting a younger artist could be handed the baton – Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomezand Demi Lovato are among the names being mentioned,

In fact, Miley has been quietly building support for herself, re-tweeting a number of fans who think she is up to the job. One particular supporter who had her message re-tweeted to Miley’s 4.7 million followers said, “Miley should either sing the national anthem or perform at halftime next year!”. The singer also re-tweeted an article by Billboard.com, which asked, “Madonna’s halftime show is in the past. Who Should Perform Next Year?.” The articles itself focuses on pop music’s resurgence at the Super Bowl, suggesting that the half-time show is once again, “embracing pop music after six straight years of veteran rock acts like Bruce Springsteen, the Rolling Stones and the Who. With pop back in vogue, will Beyonce or Lady Gaga make their Super Bowl debuts?” Among Billboard’s other suggestions for the 2013 show are Justin Bieber, Lil Wayne and country singing-sensation Taylor Swift, all of whom would be popular with the Super Bowl crowd.

Miley doesn’t appear on Billboard’s list, though her inoffensive brand of pop is presumably exactly what the Nfl and Nbc will be looking for after the middle finger salute that Mia gave television cameras on Sunday (February 5, 2012).
